Analyzing FlyCapture Images obtained from Flea Digital Cameras

Image
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...

Integrating the FlyCapture SDK for use with OpenCV

Introduction A recent stab at grabbing images from the Flea2 camera using APIs from the FlyCapture2 SDK by Point Gray Research (PGR).  Additionally, the camera was to be used in  "Format 7 mode", so that we may grab partial regions of the complete image.

Getting Started with the FlyCapture SDK

I have recently been working on a knotty problem involving control and image acquisition using the Flea ® 2 camera, using FlyCapture ® SDK by Point Grey Research, Inc.
