OpenCV - Lucid IMX490 - Arenaview - For dummies

Hi everybody, and thanks for admitting. I’m a absolute newbie and i need help. I’m trying to use a Lucid Triton IMX490 Altaview camera to test livestream functions. Lucid suggest me something to use but i’m not a developer / programmer. I need if it’s possibile a simple and quick procedure step by step to obtain a real-time processed and tone mapped livestream from the BayerRG24 or if i can obtain an usable video from a BayerRG24 saved MP4 video. Please help. Thanks

so no programming solutions then?

the camera does GigE Vision, so you’ll want to use a program that can talk GigE Vision.

Hi, thanks. Obviously next step is a programming solution but i’m a reseller and i need to try camera before delivery to obtain a stream.

if I haven’t said it yet: I believe OpenCV might have some videoio backends that support GigE Vision. might be named in non-obvious ways, very likely requires that you compile OpenCV yourself. the official builds seem unlikely to bother including whatever third party libraries do the actual interfacing for this.

any machine vision programs should be able to talk to cameras adhering to the GigE Vision standard. such programs will probably be trial versions.

if you were so inclined, you could whip up a little program yourself (or have AI do it) that uses appropriate libraries. Python is an easy environment to create GUIs and interface with anything.

I haven’t tried this myself but the internet says this library: GitHub - genicam/harvesters: Image Acquisition Library for GenICam-based Machine Vision System should do it. they even link to a GUI they made. seems worth a look.

in my googling, I even found some trial version of a virtual GigE Vision source, so you could have a test setup entirely without actual hardware.

and of course reddit has a discussion too, where they talk about aravis
