  • Storing Data in On-Camera Flash Memory

    The Applicable Product(s) provide the user with flash memory on-board the camera for the purposes of non-volatile data storage. This Technical Application Note explains what flash memory is and provides an example of using flash memory to store image data.

  • Streaming Cameras on Embedded Systems

    This technical application note provides a summary and instructions for streaming FLIR machine vision cameras using FlyCapture2 on ARM-based embedded boards. It includes examples of some of the more commonly used embedded boards: ODROID-XU; Samsung Exynos 5250 Arndale; and NVIDIA Jetson TK1, TX1, TX2 and DRIVE PX. The benchmark results show that embedded boards are able to support high-speed machine vision applications.

  • Streaming USB2 and USB3 Cameras with libdc1394 in OS X

    This application note provides information on how to set up, configure, and stream USB2 and USB3 cameras in Apple’s OS X operating system, using open source libdc1394 and libusb libraries. Please note that FLIR does not support libdc1394 and libusb.

  • Synchronizing a Blackfly or Grasshopper3 GigE Camera’s Time to PC Time

    This application note describes how to synchronize a Point Grey BFLY-PGE or GS3-PGE camera’s internal time to system (PC) time. This is useful for users that need to find out when images are being captured relative to real world time.

  • Synchronizing Ladybug Cameras

    This application note describes how to synchronize Ladybug cameras over USB3 by determining the relationship between the image timing and the camera’s current time. This is useful for Ladybug users who need to correlate their images with external information such as LIDAR or GPS.

  • Training a classification model for Firefly-DL using TensorFlow framework

    This application note describes how to setup your computer and train a custom classification model that is compatible with Firefly-DL cameras. We use TensorFlow (TF) framework to train a custom model.

  • Understanding Color Interpolation

    The two critical items to consider when choosing interpolation methods are false color artifacts and image sharpness. These two parameters are important because they are used in edge detection algorithms and to ensure accurate color reproduction.

  • Updating Ladybug Calibration Files

    Ladybug cameras have calibration files that provide settings used for stitching and rectifiying images. If an update to the calibration file is necessary, use the UpdatorGUI utility provided in the Ladybug SDK to upload the file.

  • Using Camera Events in Third-party Applications

    This application note lists some of the third-party software applications, commonly used with Point Grey’s GigE Vision and USB3 Vision cameras, which implement events. It also provides an image of the event configuration screen for the different software programs.

  • Using Counter and Timer Control

    This document provides an overview of the Counter and Timer Control feature in the Blackfly S and Oryx cameras.

  • Electrophysiology and Calcium Imaging

    The Department of Human Physiology was established in 1974 as the first department in the School of Medicine at Flinders University. The department has a research focus in neurosciencein three major areas; sensory and autonomic neurobiology, roles of neurotrophic factors and neurodegenerative diseases.

  • Live Cell Imaging, Membrane Dynamics

    The ability to perceive external stimuli and respond accordingly is a fundamental characteristic of biological systems. The stimuli are then converted to signals that can be read by cells via the process of signal transduction, of which there are many different kinds.
