FxIS -- Flexible Image Service

Image acquisition framework (currently working with Allied Vision cameras via the Vimba SDK), providing configurable video streaming, customized frame processing, and synchronized image grabbing from multiple cameras.

Prerequisites

• Allied Vision Vimba SDK
• OpenCV

Python extension functionality is realized with pybind11, bundled with the project.

Building

The path to Vimba installation should be placed in the VIMBA_DIR environment variable, e.g.:

export VIMBA_DIR=/opt/Vimba_2_1

If OpenCV should is installed in the standard location (/usr/local), the typical CMake sequence is required:

# in FxIS directory
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j4

To build against OpenCV installed in a directory other than /usr/local, specify the search path for find_package as follows (for the case of ~/libs):

cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=~/libs ..
