Build Status

This repository contains packages for FlirImaging's line of cameras. This repositories intent is to make use of Flir's newly developed SDK: Spinnaker. The camera driver is an evolution of pointgrey_camera_driver. It has been updated to use the new methods provided by the SDK.

Packages

Spinnaker Camera Driver

The camera driver supports USB3 and GIGE cameras are planned. Note thats support for FireWire cameras is dropped in this SDK. The driver has been tested with a Blackfly S and Chameleon 3 camera. Differences between cameras requires that each camera model needs a customized interface class. If your camera type is not included, consider contributing the interface by referring to the section bellow.

Contributing

Due to differences in parameter naming the configuration is separated from the main library. camera.cpp contains the base class Camera which can be extended to accommodate different cameras. The base class is based on BlackFly S and cm3.cpp extends it adding support for Chameleon3. To add a camera create a new derived class of Camera and add the model name to the check in SpinnakerCamera::connect.

When contributing make sure the travis job suceeds and please use roscpp_code_format to format your code.
