Re: Octave and live capturing camera

[Wydou]

Thank you guys for the answers.
You are right, Søren, Octave is not fast, especially on an old G4 PowerBook,
and therefor not the first choice for realtime applications... :-)

I think Matlab has realtime functionality (probably within an extra
package), and that's why I thought about such functions in Octave. For quick
prototyping would it be nice to have something like that, as setting up an
OpenCV project with picture / video display possibilities on a mac is quite
time-consuming.
