如何用QtPy创建Webcam扫码应用

之前分享了如何用QtPy和Dynamsoft Barcode Reader创建一个简单的桌面应用， 通过加载一张图片来识别条形码。这篇文章要分享如何加上摄像头的支持做实时扫码。

如何用Python和PyQt代码显示Camera视频流

要获取视频流，最简单的方法就是用OpenCV：

pip install opencv-python

用OpenCV来显示视频流的代码很简单，只需要一个无限循环：

import cv2
vc = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
while True:
        rval, frame = vc.read()
        cv2.imshow("Camera View", frame)

现在要解决的问题就是把OpenCV获取的视频帧数据通过Qt的Widget显示出来。在Qt中，不能使用循环，要用timer：

def __init__(self):
        # Create a timer.
        self.timer = QTimer()
        self.timer.timeout.connect(self.nextFrameSlot)
 
def nextFrameSlot(self):
        rval, frame = self.vc.read()
        frame = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
        image = QImage(frame, frame.shape[1], frame.shape[0], QImage.Format_RGB888)
        pixmap = QPixmap.fromImage(image)
        self.label.setPixmap(pixmap)
 
        results = dbr.decodeBuffer(frame, 0x3FF | 0x2000000 | 0x4000000 | 0x8000000 | 0x10000000)
        out = ''
        index = 0
        for result in results:
            out += "Index: " + str(index) + "\n"
            out += "Barcode format: " + result[0] + '\n'
            out += "Barcode value: " + result[1] + '\n'
            out += '-----------------------------------\n'
            index += 1
 
        self.results.setText(out)

这里注意下要把颜色空间从BGR转成RGB再放到QImage中。

创建一个QHBoxLayout来放置两个button：

button_layout = QHBoxLayout()
 
btnCamera = QPushButton("Open camera")
btnCamera.clicked.connect(self.openCamera)
button_layout.addWidget(btnCamera)
 
btnCamera = QPushButton("Stop camera")
btnCamera.clicked.connect(self.stopCamera)
button_layout.addWidget(btnCamera)
 
layout.addLayout(button_layout)

点击button之后触发和停止timer：

def openCamera(self):
        self.vc = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
        # vc.set(5, 30)  #set FPS
        self.vc.set(3, 640) #set width
        self.vc.set(4, 480) #set height
 
        if not self.vc.isOpened(): 
            msgBox = QMessageBox()
            msgBox.setText("Failed to open camera.")
            msgBox.exec_()
            return
 
        self.timer.start(1000./24)
     
def stopCamera(self):
        self.timer.stop()

监听关闭事件：

def closeEvent(self, event):
     
        msg = "Close the app?"
        reply = QMessageBox.question(self, 'Message', 
                        msg, QMessageBox.Yes, QMessageBox.No)
 
        if reply == QMessageBox.Yes:
            event.accept()
            self.stopCamera()
        else:
            event.ignore()

最后运行效果：
