Analyzing FlyCapture Images obtained from Flea Digital Cameras
Flea2 Camera Physical Layout The photograph shows the physical setup for grabbing images from a Flea2 camera (by Point Gray Research ) mounted above a Xaar inket printer. This represents a prototype used to obtain images of microarray spots printed to glass sample slides, in “Format7” (partial image) mode, as the printhead moves across trays containing 25 microarray slides. Using the FlyCapture SDK The FlyCapture SDK provides methods for acting upon triggers from external pieces of hardware (in this case Xilinx FPGA boards) and retrieve the image buffer when receiving these prompts. What is more, it is possible to capture grayscale images directly from the camera, eliminating the need for colour-to-grayscale conversions in software. Obtaining acceptable camera settings interactively Assuming you have installed the full FlyCapture2 SDK, at the Start button, select All Programs -> Point Gray Research -> FlyCapture2 -> Examples -> Precompiled Examples -> Flycap2M...
