Hello everyone.
I'm using opencv to capture frames from a USB camera 24/7 for a face recognition project. I've noticed that I get a select timeout error during the early morning hours, when there is no people to be recognized, meaning the frames are pretty much identical (an empty room). How could I prevent this from happening.
I'm using a LI-USB30-ISX017 - Leopard Imaging Inc USB 3 camera mounted on RedHat Enterprise Linux 7.5 with kernel 3.10.0-957.5.1.el7.x86_64. The ML part uses Python 3.6.5 with opencv-python 3.4.2.17 and tensorflow.
I have read many a solution and none have fixed the problem: using **options uvcvideo quirks=640 nodrop=1 timeout=50000** (and 128 along with lower timeouts) has reduced the frequency of the timeouts, but they still happen occasionally.
Any help would be appreciated.
