Camera access in Android OS

Most, if not all, mobile phone devices running Android are equipped with a video-capable camera, and the Android OS provides APIs to access the raw data stream from it. Up until Android version 5 (API level 21), Google recommended using the older Camera API; however, in recent versions, the API was deprecated in favor of the new Camera2 API, which we will use. A good example guide for using the Camera2 API is provided for Android developers by Google: https://github.com/googlesamples/android-Camera2Basic. In this section, we will only recount a few important elements, and the complete code can be viewed in the accompanying repository.

First, using the camera requires user permissions. In the AndroidManifest.xml file, we flag the following:

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
    <uses-permission android...

Millán Escrivá

David Millán Escrivá was 8 years old when he wrote his first program on an 8086 PC in Basic, which enabled the 2D plotting of basic equations. In 2005, he finished his studies in IT with honors, through the Universitat Politécnica de Valencia, in human-computer interaction supported by computer vision with OpenCV (v0.96). He has worked with Blender, an open source, 3D software project, and on its first commercial movie, Plumiferos, as a computer graphics software developer. David has more than 10 years' experience in IT, with experience in computer vision, computer graphics, pattern recognition, and machine learning, working on different projects, and at different start-ups, and companies. He currently works as a researcher in computer vision.
