Check the WIDTH and HEIGHT of the standard resolution displayed, and correct the input resolution listed in usbcam_test.py.

e.g.

From:

frame = cv2.resize(frame, (640, 480))

To:

frame = cv2.resize(frame, (1280, 720))

Run it again.

$ sudo chmod 777 /dev/video0 && python3 ${HOME}/usbcam_test.py

Try2. It may not work well with UVC-compatible USB cameras depending on their compatibility. Try replacing several USB cameras. The following cameras were recognized successfully. I have tried four different USB cameras and only one was successful.
