  • Using Spinnaker on ARM and Embedded Systems

    With the release of version 1.5 of the Spinnaker SDK, you can program and operate FLIR USB3 machine vision cameras on an ARM device in a Linux environment. This application note explains the components and steps that are necessary to get started with Spinnaker and ARM as well as the limitations of using Spinnaker on an ARM device. It provides a summary and instructions for streaming FLIR USB3 machine vision cameras using Spinnaker on ARM-based embedded boards. It includes examples of some of the more commonly used embedded boards: ODROID-XU4, and NVIDIA Jetson TX1 and TX2. The benchmark results show that embedded boards are able to support high speed machine vision applications. Note: Testing is ongoing. Wherever possible, limitations have been noted; however, as more testing is completed this information may change. All possible configurations of ARM and cameras may not experience the same results.

  • Using the Sequencer Feature

    This document provides an overview of the Sequencer function. The sequencer allows you to control the acquisition parameters of an image sequence. This includes defining the camera feature settings as well as when the camera transitions from one sequence to the next. One application of the sequencer is in the creation of high dynamic range images where your image source has dramatically different light and shadow in the same scene. Another application might be to examine multiple pieces of a larger image as separate entities with different exposures. An astronomy application could increase the camera's dynamic range by capturing multiple images with different settings, then adding and averaging them. A scientific application could use a filter wheel in front of the lens and adjust the camera's settings every time the wheel rotates. With sequencer, each image can have its own defined feature set. Blackfly S allows up to 8 sequencer sets.
