IDS Camera Manager

Ids_Camera_Manager.py is a Python script that manages cameras using the IDS Peak library. It provides methods to configure and control IDS cameras.

Features

• Initialize and open IDS cameras by serial number.
• Manage camera settings and configurations.
• Capture images and stream video from the camera.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• IDS Peak Library
• OpenCV
• JSON
• Threading
• Os
• Sys

Installation

1. Install the required Python packages:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Install the IDS Peak SDK: Install IDS peak 2.11.0 extended

Usage

1. Initialize the Camera Manager: A. Any Connected Cameras - Single

   from Ids_Camera_Manager import CameraManager
   
   cam_manager = CameraManager()
   ret = cam_manager.startcamera_auto()    #OTHER OPTIONS .startcamera_manual() .startcamera_load()
   if ret:
      print("status camera ok")
   else:
      print("No camera connected")

   If more than one is connected, the first one found will be selected.

   B. Specificied "S/N" Cameras - Single

   from Ids_Camera_Manager import CameraManager
   
   sn = ["S/N"]
   cam_manager = CameraManager(sn)
   ret = cam_manager.startcamera_auto()    #OTHER OPTIONS .startcamera_manual() .startcamera_load()
   if ret:
      print("status camera ok")
   else:
      print("No camera connected")

   C. Any Connected Cameras - Multi

   from Ids_Camera_Manager import CameraManager
   cameras_manager = []
   while True:
      cam_manager = CameraManager()
      ret = cam_manager.startcamera_auto()    #OTHER OPTIONS .startcamera_manual() .startcamera_load()
      if ret:
          camera_managers.append(cam_manager)
      else:
          break

   D. Specificied "S/N" Cameras - Multi

   from Ids_Camera_Manager import CameraManager
   SNS = ["S/N1", "S/N2", ...]
   
   for sn in SNS
       cam_manager = CameraManager(sn)
       ret = cam_manager.startcamera_auto()    #OTHER OPTIONS .startcamera_manual() .startcamera_load()
       if ret:
           camera_managers.append(cam_manager)
       else:
           break

2. Capture an image:

   image = camera_manager.get_image()

Methods

• __init__(self, camera_id=None): Initializes the CameraManager class.
• open_camera(self): Opens the camera with the specified ID.
• get_image(self): capture the image of the related camera_manager.
• Additional methods to manage camera settings and configurations.
