[Qt-creator] Screen Capture as format YUV

[Emre Cetin]

Hi everyone,

I have a project related to image processing on QT and GStream. I have
created a program with QWidget, and I got a screenshot of this program with
QPixmap. However, I need to convert these frames into a YUV format and send
them to GStream because I am going to merge these frames another video
frames with GStream.

Is there any way I can get QWidget frames in YUV format? Without
conversion. I am working on QT 5.5. Any advice ?

Thanks,
Emre Cetin

On-screen pixels are RGB, as far as I know there aren't any YUV screens
(unless you are into some strange older broadcast pipeline). So you are
forced to convert.

If you really get that from a screen, that will need to be converted _somewhere_.

On the other hand, QImage is a QPaintDevice and supports different image formats. So it is possible to render a QWidget (+ its child hierarchy) directly into a QImage by using the QWidget::render(....) method, similar to printing a widget: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtprintsupport-index.html#printing-widgets . I’d expect that to be as direct as it gets.
