Question

Is there any library in Ruby which I can use to capture the webcam's image? Has to run on GNU/Linux.

Using the `ruby-opencv` gem: http://stackoverflow.com/a/39938093/407213 — Dorian, Oct 08 '16 at 22:42

Thanks, I will look at how it captures the webcam's image. Just in case anyone clicks your link, there's a missing "l". It's ".html" not ".htm". – Vitor Baptista Jan 11 '10 at 13:57
Here is a snapchot of the project from 2010: https://web.archive.org/web/20100808100807/http://www.wedesoft.demon.co.uk/hornetseye-api/files/HornetsEye-txt.html – Dorian Oct 08 '16 at 21:39
Using the OpenCV ruby gem is much simpler and works: http://stackoverflow.com/a/39938093/407213 – Dorian Oct 08 '16 at 22:42
