Hello,
I have an Infragram DIY Plant Analysis Webcam that I purchased some time ago, but unfortunately the camera was discontinued, and I do not exactly know the specs nor how to acquire an image from this camera using ubuntu linux.
I previously successfully acquired images with this camera and processed them, but now for some reason I can not use uvccapture.
Here are my questions:
1. First thing I need to know, what kind of filter this camera has? I am assuming it has a blue-red filter. Is this correct?
2. When I used the camera previously, it captured pinkish images, like for example in:

But when I take pictures with the camera using cheese webcam application in Ubuntu 14.04, I get brownish whitish images like in:

I believe this is called NGB mode, what is the name for the pinkish mode I mentioned previously
3. When I try to capture using uvccapture, I get a file called snap.jpg which is only about 400 bytes. I believe this is due to a driver error. Is there recommended capture tool for Ubuntu Linux? I now use cheese webcam booth app, which is limited in settings and capacity.
Any recommendations/ideas/help greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
C.
