This python script is used for taking images from your webcam and saving it on your local device. Path to the folder can be specified using the following command:

python3 take_pictures_from_webcam.py --directory pathname

The default path would be your current directory.

You can also give name to your image using following command:

python3 take_pictures_from_webcam.py --name ImageName

Example

python3 WebcamImage.py --directory /home/user/photos --name photo

A live webcam preview window labelled "frame" opens at 600×600 pixels.
Press Space to capture the current frame — it is saved as photo0.jpg in /home/user/photos and the terminal prints got photo0.
Press Space again to save photo1.jpg, and so on.
Press q to close the window and exit.
