NAOqi Vision - Overview | API | Tutorial
This tutorial explains how to run the ALPhotoCapture functions using Python.
After some initialization steps, we first instantiate a proxy to the ALPhotoCapture module.
# This test demonstrates how to use the ALPhotoCapture module.
# Note that you might not have this module depending on your distribution
import os
import sys
import time
from naoqi import ALProxy
# Replace this with your robot's IP address
IP = "10.0.252.91"
PORT = 9559
# Create a proxy to ALPhotoCapture
try:
photoCaptureProxy = ALProxy("ALPhotoCapture", IP, PORT)
except Exception, e:
print "Error when creating ALPhotoCapture proxy:"
print str(e)
exit(1)
# Take 3 pictures in VGA and store them in /home/nao/recordings/cameras/
photoCaptureProxy.setResolution(2)
photoCaptureProxy.setPictureFormat("jpg")
photoCaptureProxy.takePictures(3, "/home/nao/recordings/cameras/", "image")
# This call returns ['/home/nao/recordings/cameras/image_0.jpg', '/home/nao/recordings/cameras/image_1.jpg', '/home/nao/recordings/cameras/image_2.jpg']
