Image Capture in C#
c#, image, image-capture, webcam
Solution
If you only want images, many web cams support TWAIN -- you can use with .NET using this code

Problem
I'm working on a home project that involves comparing images to a database of images (using a quadrant - or so - histogram approach). I wanted to know what my options are in regards to web cams or other image capture devices that: - Are easy to work with with the Windows SDK (particularly DirectShow, which I plan to use with C#) - Have drivers for both 64-bit and 32-bit Windows Vista (and Server 2008) I'm asking primarily so I can avoid pitfalls that other people may have experienced with web cams and to see if there are other image capture devices (or C# usable APIs) available that I should look at. I suspect that any old web cam will do but I'd rather be safe than sorry.
