rc_visard OpenCV Example

Example showing how to use the rc_genicam_api with OpenCV to receive images from rc_visard.

Build

Dependencies are rc_genicam_api and OpenCV (version 2 or 3).

Linux

mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make

Windows

The following instructions work with cmake-gui and Microsoft Visual Studio-IDE.

1. Run cmake-gui and set the source folder to the repository's folder and the binaries folder to build in the repository's folder
2. Click Configure
3. In the pop-up, choose Visual Studio
4. Set OpenCV_DIR and RC_GENICAM_API_DIR appropriately
5. Set CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to the path the example should be installed in
6. Click Generate
7. Click Open Project
8. Build ALL_BUILD and INSTALL

Run

Running above build commands will build a library rc_visard_opencv_example and an executable rc_visard_show_streams.

rc_visard_show_streams will show the received images in an OpenCV window. One can cycle through the streams using by pressing n (next) or p (previous). Press q to quit.

rc_visard_show_streams takes the optional flags --left, --right, --disparity, --confidence, --error to select which image streams to show. Using the flag --synchronize one can specify to receive only synchronized data sets.

One also needs to specify the device-id, which is either the serial number, the user defined ID or GenTL ID of the rc_visard.

Linux

./rc_visard_show_streams [options] <device-id>

Windows

Note: The PATH environment variable should point to the folders containing the DLLs of OpenCV and rc_genicam_api.

rc_visard_show_streams.exe [options] <device-id>
