'''
VideoCapture sample showcasing  some features of the Video4Linux2 backend

Sample shows how VideoCapture class can be used to control parameters
of a webcam such as focus or framerate.
Also the sample provides an example how to access raw images delivered
by the hardware to get a grayscale image in a very efficient fashion.

Keys:
    ESC    - exit
    g      - toggle optimized grayscale conversion
