Or infinite time…so thats fine but later in the video sir said that it quits when any key is pressed , I didn’t understand that part.
Sir said waitkey(0) waits for 0 ms?
Hello @nikhil_sarda,
cv2.waitKey(t)
waits for an input for t
milliseconds and returns if no key is pressed in that duration.
So, if you do, cv2.waitKey(10)
, it will wait for 10ms and return if no key is pressed or return the moment a key is pressed, i.e, if in 2ms a key is pressed, it will return at that very moment.
cv2.waitKey(0)
waits for an input for unlimited time duration, meaning, it will wait until a key is pressed. When a key is pressed, this function is returned and normal execution of the code begins after the function call.
