OpenBooth
OpenBooth is free, open-source photobooth software for Linux. It is designed for touchscreen operation and photo capture, with image filters, a live preview of the filtered result, and wireless triggering. The software communicates with cameras through the gPhoto2 library and its Java bindings, while OpenCV handles image processing. OpenBooth is still in development, and its project page describes initial tests in progress. The project began as an assignment at the Technical University Vienna and continues with Otelo Wien through a five-student computer-science team. It is released under the MIT License, allowing use, copying, modification, distribution, sublicensing, and sale under the license conditions. The project Wiki provides program documentation, hardware information, and build-and-run tutorials. Questions are invited through the Wiki or by email.
