I am making a webpage to capture snapshot from a video and host it in a javascript photo viewer but facing difficulty in that. So, I am trying to save the snapshot in png format to a specific file location.
Please help me.
var videoId = 'video';
var scaleFactor = 2;
var snapshots = [];
/**
* Captures a image frame from the provided video element.
*
* @param {Video} video HTML5 video element from where the image frame will be captured.
* @param {Number} scaleFactor Factor to scale the canvas element that will be return. This is an optional parameter.
*
* @return {Canvas}
*/
function capture(video, scaleFactor) {
if (scaleFactor == null) {
scaleFactor = 1;
}
var w = video.videoWidth * scaleFactor;
var h = video.videoHeight * scaleFactor;
var canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
canvas.width = w;
canvas.height = h;
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
ctx.drawImage(video, 0, 0, w, h);
return canvas;
}
/**
* Invokes the <code>capture</code> function and attaches the canvas element to the DOM.
*/
function shoot() {
var video = document.getElementById(videoId);
var output = document.getElementById('output');
var canvas = capture(video, scaleFactor);
canvas.onclick = function() {
window.open(this.toDataURL(image / jpg));
};
snapshots.unshift(canvas);
output.innerHTML = '';
for (var i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
output.appendChild(snapshots[i]);
}
}
(function() {
var captureit = document.getElementById('cit');
captureit.click();
})();
