    <p>I have a loop to take in images from a high speed framegrabbger at 250fps. </p> <pre><code>/** Loop processes 250 video frames per second **/ while(1){ AcquireFrame(); DoProcessing(); TakeAction(); } </code></pre> <p>At the same time, I would like the user to be able to monitor what is going on. The user only needs to see images at around 30 fps (or less). How do I set up a second thread that displays the current frame every so often? </p> <pre><code>Thread(){ cvShowImage(); Wait(30); /** Wait for 30 ms **/ } </code></pre> <p>I am on Windows on a quad core Intel machine using MinGW, gcc and OpenCV 1.1. The main criteria is that the display thread must take as little time away from my main processing loop as possible. Every millisecond counts.</p> <p>I have tried using <code>CreateThread()</code> to create a new thread with <code>cvShowImage()</code> and <code>cvWaitKey()</code> but <a href="http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/OpenCV/message/66862" rel="nofollow noreferrer">apparently those functions are not threadsafe</a>. </p> <p>I am considering using OpenMP, but some people <a href="http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/threading-on-intel-parallel-architectures/topic/47611/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">report problems with OpenMP and OpenCV</a>. I also am considering trying to use DirectX directDraw because apparently it is very fast. but it <a href="http://www.codeproject.com/KB/directx/basicdd.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">looks complicated</a> and evidentally there are <a href="http://www.emmestech.com/moron_guides/moron1.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">problems using Windows DLL's with MinGw</a>.</p> <p>Which of these avenues would be the best place to start?</p>

    1. COIsn't it just enough to just use an if condition and a "count" variable upto 250 to display every 8th capture (250/30)?

    2. COAh yes. But if you do that, then the whole program grinds to a halt while you display the 8th capture. It takes ~10 ms to display an image using cvShowImage. By that time you've already missed a few frames.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
