Android 获取Camera图像数据

由于要在Android系统上进行OpenCV相关的功能使用，所以写本篇blog记录一下如何使用Camera API 获取Android的图像数据。本篇暂且使用 deprecated 的Camera API

先看API：https://developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/Camera

The Camera class is used to set image capture settings, start/stop preview, snap pictures, and retrieve frames for encoding for video. This class is a client for the Camera service, which manages the actual camera hardware.

To access the device camera, you must declare the Manifest.permission.CAMERA permission in your Android Manifest. Also be sure to include the <uses-feature> manifest element to declare camera features used by your application. For example, if you use the camera and auto-focus feature, your Manifest should include the following:

 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
 <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" />
 <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.autofocus" />

To take pictures with this class, use the following steps:

1. Obtain an instance of Camera from open(int).
2. Get existing (default) settings with getParameters().
3. If necessary, modify the returned Camera.Parameters object and call setParameters(Camera.Parameters).
4. Call setDisplayOrientation(int) to ensure correct orientation of preview.
5. Important: Pass a fully initialized SurfaceHolder to setPreviewDisplay(SurfaceHolder). Without a surface, the camera will be unable to start the preview.
6. Important: Call startPreview() to start updating the preview surface. Preview must be started before you can take a picture.
7. When you want, call takePicture(Camera.ShutterCallback, Camera.PictureCallback, Camera.PictureCallback, Camera.PictureCallback) to capture a photo. Wait for the callbacks to provide the actual image data.
8. After taking a picture, preview display will have stopped. To take more photos, call startPreview() again first.
9. Call stopPreview() to stop updating the preview surface.
10. Important: Call release() to release the camera for use by other applications. Applications should release the camera immediately in Activity.onPause() (and re-open() it in Activity.onResume()).

To quickly switch to video recording mode, use these steps:

1. Obtain and initialize a Camera and start preview as described above.
2. Call unlock() to allow the media process to access the camera.
3. Pass the camera to MediaRecorder.setCamera(Camera). See MediaRecorder information about video recording.
4. When finished recording, call reconnect() to re-acquire and re-lock the camera.
5. If desired, restart preview and take more photos or videos.
6. Call stopPreview() and release() as described above.

This class is not thread-safe, and is meant for use from one event thread. Most long-running operations (preview, focus, photo capture, etc) happen asynchronously and invoke callbacks as necessary. Callbacks will be invoked on the event thread open(int) was called from. This class's methods must never be called from multiple threads at once.

Camera的API文档如上，如何在Android中使用：

1.新建Android 工程，在AndroidManifest.xml文件中添加权限。（必要）

 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
 <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" />
 <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.autofocus" />

2.检测Android设备中存在多少个camera device。（可选）

int cameraNum = Camera.getNumberOfCameras();

3.打开Camera设备 （必要）

try {
    mCamera = Camera.open();
}catch (Exception e){
    e.printStackTrace();
}

4.设置Camera的orientation，[ 0度, 90度, 180度, 270度 ] (可选)

mCamera.setDisplayOrientation(90);

5.将完全初始化的SurfaceHolder传递给setPreviewDisplay（SurfaceHolder）。(必要)

mCamera.setPreviewDisplay(surfaceHolder);

6.调用startPreview（）开始更新预览表面。（必要）

mCamera.startPreview();

7.调用setPreviewCallback(Camera.PreviewCallback cb) 获取每一帧的数据（根据业务）

mCamera.setPreviewCallback(new Camera.PreviewCallback() {
    @Override
    public void onPreviewFrame(byte[] bytes, Camera camera) {
        Log.e("Camera","onPreviewFrame()");
    }
});

8.调用stopPreview（）以停止更新预览曲面。（必要）

mCamera.stopPreview();

9.调用release（）以释放相机以供其他应用程序使用。（必要）

mCamera.release();

10.建议在activity的生命周期切换中，同样注意Camera的状态。

更新：有了Camera返回的每一帧byte数组数据，我就可以在Android JNI 中使用OpenCV了。
