can a webcam be interfaced to BBB… ??? if yes, can anybody help me out the process for doing the same and any good compatible image processing libs that could be used for real time IP on BBB

I am sure you can use a USB webcam… OpenCv for the image analysis should do the trick

Thanks Richard… do you have any tutorial that you have come across or any material that i could maybe use???

@Akshay_D_R Unfortunately not… It should be generic commands that even a PC Linux can use… perhaps look at a RaspberryPi tutorial

Or use Google. http://derekmolloy.ie/beaglebone/beaglebone-video-capture-and-image-processing-on-embedded-linux-using-opencv/

I am using normal 640x480 pxls USB camera. Using cheese software I am able to capture the video. But while going with Opencv, I am getting the above error.
