Re: Simulate a Webcam with Pictures (Or IP Camera)

It will depend on what you are using to open those images for processing on the Pi.
If you use OpenCV, it is as simple as using one command line to open an image vs another to grab a frame from a video stream.
I'm certain most other image processing code works almost identically.

For example, to grab a video frame, you could do this:
Code:
camera = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
# Later followed by this to grab the frame
(grabbed, frame) = camera.read()
To open a image file instead:
Code:
frame = cv2.imread(PathToImageFile)
