Description : device-independent image acquisition and processing API

libcam is a library primarily intended for robotics and machine vision
researchers. It provides a device-independent API for acquiring,
logging, and processing images. Core supported input methods are V4L,
V4L2, dc1394, and libcam-format log files. A modular architecture
allows image processing units to be connected in sequences or trees,
and new units can be added via dynamically loaded plugins. The
purpose of libcam is to support the process of developing machine
vision algorithms, and does not provide implementations of existing
algorithms.

kFreeBSD has libcam0 and libcam-dev built from the freebsd-libs
source.

There's a potential for troubles here, unless your libcam is a
linux-only package.

Hmm... that could be awkward indeed.

The binary packages generated by the proposed source package are currently:
camview - libcam viewer
libcam-gtk3 - GTK+ widgets for libcam
libcam-gtk3-dev - GTK+ widgets for libcam
libcam-plugins-dc1394 - IEEE 1394 Digital Camera device input
plugins for libcam
libcam-utils - utility programs for libcam
libcam3 - device-independent image acquisition and processing API
libcam3-dev

The upstream source builds libcam.so and libcam-gtk.so. There are no
plans to support BSD, but this is still probably not a very good
situation.

Suggestions?
