This scheduler ensures tasks are executed on a background threads with queuing. Tasks are added to the queue and when completed, the next task runs.

Raised if the event throws an exeception on the same thread as the event was executed.
*Note: If an error is raised in the task, the OnEventCompleted will not be raised so you'll need to check this event for an error of why it wasn't completed.

Raised when the event has completed on the same thread as the event executed.
*Note: If an error is thrown while the task is running, this won't be called because the OnEventError will be called instead.

Raised before the work event is started on the same thread as the work event will execute.

Add item to the queue
This does not start the task scheduler. You will have to run Start() after adding items to the queue.
Ideally you should be using StartNew() unless you have a bunch of items to load into the queue before starting.

Add items to the queue and start the scheduler to begin processing them
*Note: This is the method that you should always be using unless you wish to prep items ahead of time, then use AddtoQueue() and Start(), respectively.

Class that it used to connect to many camera devices (usb, ez-b v4 uart, ez-b v4 TCP, etc.)
This class also holds the detection methods and allows a custom detection method to be used with the provided overrides.
You may also record video to a file.
This is essentially one massive class that provides a ton of function for camera recognition.

This is the unmanaged image of _OriginalManagedBitmap.
It is the resized and corrected pixel format image because the image from the capture device may
not match the output dimensions and pixel format.

Image that is used as a worker to the display. We draw on this bitmap with the tracking details and grid lines
Each tracking type will draw it's squares on this bitmap and then we copy this to the output bitmap.
A worker is required because if we modify the bitmap memory then windows might invalidate the control while
we're in the middle of rendering the output bitmap. So this results in a flicker of varying states of the image.
So we work with the bitmap here, and copy it to the output bitmap when we're done with it

This is the bitmap data that we use to update the preview windows with.
This contains tracking data.

Type of Video File to save

The default address for the EZ-B v4. The EZ-B TCP camera will always start with an EZB://(address)
If you're connecting to an EZ-B v4 camera via UART, specify the address as COM1 or COM2, COMx etc...

Event raised for custom tracking initializers.
If you have a custom tracking, use this to initialize your tracking engine if needed.
This happens when the camera is started.

Event raised for a custome tracking type when it has been uninitialized.
This happens when the camera is stopped.

Event raised when the Image capture has started

Event raised when the Image capture has stopped

Event risen when a new video frame is received.
The actual bitmap is not drawn until after this event is raised.
In this event, you can use GetOutputBitmap to draw your tracking information and GetOriginalBitmap for detecting the tracking
This event is risen BEFORE OnNewFrameProcessed, which means there are no grid lines drawn on the bitmap at this time.
This is the event where you will use object detection. And you can draw on the output bitmap with the detected
objects

Event risen when a new video frame has been processed after OnNewFrame tracking.
If you're wanting to display the video to the UCCameraCanvas control, use it from here.
This event is raised after the grid lines are drawn, which is also after OnNewFrame.
This event is raised after OnNewFrame.
Generally, OnNewFrame is where the tracking types are executed, which means the OutputBitmaps will be modified with
detected objects

If true, the rectangle around the detect object is not displayed. The objectLocation is still returned, but there is no visual identifier of where the object was detected.

This is the maximum size that the receive buffer from the EZB -> WIFI will be

Specify the clock delay between bytes in cycles of the EZ-B's 120mhz 32 Bit ARM processor. This would only need to be used to fine tune the baudrate timing if the connected device is not very accurate or requires a diffference in timing.
For example, some open-source hardware platforms use Software Serial drivers, which sometimes need a little bit of tweaking. Generally, you should never need to change these values.
However, there is a Custom labelled baudrate which you can change for specific speeds.
Anyone adjusting these speeds will need a logic analyzer, such as the Saleae Logic16 or Logic32
