mrpt::hwdrivers::CImageGrabber_dc1394 Class Reference

Detailed Description

A class for grabing images from a IEEE1394 (Firewire) camera using the libdc1394-2 library.

See the constructor for the options when opening the camera. Notice that you may have to carefully set the resolution, framerate and color_mode. See the verbose parameter of the constructor, which can display a list of supported modes in your camera.

This class is able to manage any Firewire cameras, including Stereo or multi-cameras in general, so this can be used to open the Bumblebee camera (not tested yet).

A static method (CImageGrabber_dc1394::enumerateCameras) is provided to enumerate all existing cameras and their properties. It can be used to find the GUID of the desired camera, then open it at the constructor.

Note
This class requires MRPT compiled with "libdc1394-2" (Only works under Linux for now) and "opencv".
In Linux you may need to execute "chmod 666 /dev/video1394/ * " and "chmod 666 /dev/raw1394" for allowing any user R/W access to firewire cameras.
[New in MRPT 1.3.0] Length of ring buffer is now configurable via TCaptureOptions_dc1394::ring_buffer_size

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ CImageGrabber_dc1394()

mrpt::hwdrivers::CImageGrabber_dc1394::CImageGrabber_dc1394 ( uint64_t  cameraGUID = 0,
uint16_t  cameraUnit = 0,
const TCaptureOptions_dc1394 options = TCaptureOptions_dc1394(),
bool  verbose = false 
)

Constructor: open an ieee1394 camera.

Parameters
cameraGUIDSet the camera GUID to open, or 0 to open the first found camera.
cameraUnit(Ignored if cameraGUID=0). The number of camera to open within the device with the given GUID: In a stereo camera this may be 0 or 1. Normally this is 0.
optionsCapture options, defined in mrpt::hwdrivers::TCaptureOptions_dc1394.
verboseDisplays a lot of information about the camera to be open and its valid video modes.

◆ ~CImageGrabber_dc1394()

virtual mrpt::hwdrivers::CImageGrabber_dc1394::~CImageGrabber_dc1394 ( )
virtual

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

◆ changeCaptureOptions()

bool mrpt::hwdrivers::CImageGrabber_dc1394::changeCaptureOptions ( const TCaptureOptions_dc1394 options)

Changes the capture properties (brightness, gain, shutter, etc) The frame size, framerate, and color_coding fields in options are ignored since they can be only set at construction time.

Returns
false on error

◆ enumerateCameras()

static void mrpt::hwdrivers::CImageGrabber_dc1394::enumerateCameras ( TCameraInfoList out_list)
static

Generates a list with the information on all the existing (Firewire) cameras in the system.

Exceptions
std::runtime_errorOn any error calling libdc1394.

◆ getObservation() [1/2]

bool mrpt::hwdrivers::CImageGrabber_dc1394::getObservation ( mrpt::obs::CObservationImage out_observation)

Grab an image from the opened camera (for monocular cameras).

Parameters
out_observationThe object to be filled with sensed data.
Note
This may be blocking when using software trigger and no frame is available yet. Ensure trigger before getObservation() or take into account that this call may block.
Returns
false on any error, true if all go fine.

◆ getObservation() [2/2]

bool mrpt::hwdrivers::CImageGrabber_dc1394::getObservation ( mrpt::obs::CObservationStereoImages out_observation)

Grab an image from the opened camera (for stereo cameras).

Parameters
out_observationThe object to be filled with sensed data.
Returns
false on any error, true if all go fine.

◆ isOpen()

bool mrpt::hwdrivers::CImageGrabber_dc1394::isOpen ( ) const
inline

Check whether the camera has been open successfully.

Definition at line 157 of file CImageGrabber_dc1394.h.

◆ setSoftwareTriggerLevel()

bool mrpt::hwdrivers::CImageGrabber_dc1394::setSoftwareTriggerLevel ( bool  level)

Changes the boolean level associated to Software Trigger (ON/OFF) Can be used to control camera triggering trough software.

Returns
false on error
