  • 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.

  • Achieving Maximum Frame Rate with GS3-U3

    This application note describes the configuration and settings needed to achieve the maximum potential from FLIR machine vision USB 3.1 cameras. The capabilities of FLIR machine vision USB 3.1 cameras, and in particular the GS3-U3, push the boundaries of USB 3.1 technology and thus may require extra consideration with respect to system configuration.

  • Control and Status Registers Unique to Ladybug2 and Ladybug3 cameras

    This technical application note explains three control and status registers (CSRs) that are unique to the firmware of the Ladybug2 and Ladybug3 cameras. Note that CSR 1E80h updates similar functionality found in CSR 1A20h. CSRs 1E84h and 1E88h update similar functionality also found in CSR 1A24h. We recommend updating your application to use CSRs 1E80h, 1E84h and 1E88h.

  • Diagnosing and Fixing Connectivity Errors with Ladybug

    This application note describes the how to diagnose a poor connection in a Ladybug system and provides recommendations for how to improve connectivity.

  • Geometric Vision using Ladybug Cameras

    Effective warping and stitching of the images produced by the camera system's six sensors is achieved through accurate calibration of the physical location and orientation of the sensors and the distortion model of the lens. This calibration also enables photogrammetric analysis of image data. This application note discusses the representation used to describe the physical orientation of all of the sensors with respect to one another and provides instructions for transforming 2D local points to 3D global points and vice versa.
