This repository contains the Python SDK samples for Bottlenose cameras, and a C++ example for stereo acquisition.
The camera supports the GEV 2.1 standard and does work with major Machine Vision software packages out of the box without additional drivers, please see our documentation here.
In this repository we provide samples for power users and integrators that want to work directly with the Camera without third-party frameworks.
The samples allow depth and color streaming, and provide snippets to update intrinsic and extrinsic calibration information.
Bottlenose cameras necessary to use these samples library are available for purchase at Mouser.
Please follow the steps to set up the Bottlenose camera from our documentation.
Please see the releases page for the necessary Pleora eBUS SDK for your target platform.
Please see the requirements.txt file in each sample directory for the
required python packages to run.
Note the Python backend for Microsoft Windows systems does not install Python support by default. Please install the following wheels for your respective Python version.
| Python Version | Matching Wheel |
|---|---|
| 3.6.x (*) | ebus_python-*-py36-none-win_amd64.whl |
| 3.7.x | ebus_python-*-py37-none-win_amd64.whl |
| 3.8.x | ebus_python-*-py38-none-win_amd64.whl |
| 3.8.x | ebus_python-*-py39-none-win_amd64.whl |
| 3.10.x | ebus_python-*-py310-none-win_amd64.whl |
(*) Some of the examples included in this repository use Pyside6 and require a newer version than Python 3.6.
We provide support for Ubuntu Linux. To install the SDK including Python packages please install corresponding Debian package (.dpkg).
sudo dpkg -i eBUS_SDK_Ubuntu-<Ubuntu version>-*.debThe corresponding libraries will automatically be installed to
