gst-plugin-spinnaker

Gstreamer plugin for Point Grey/FLIR cameras using the Spinnaker API. Based off the gst-plugin-flycap (https://github.com/atdgroup/gst-plugin-flycap ).

Build like any other gstreamer plugin with Meson, by calling meson build from the main directory.

Features

There are a few properties from the SDK implemented. If you require a specific feature to be added, you can use one of the existing props as an example and submit a pull request. These properties can also be found by running gst-inspect-1.0.

Image Format

There are currently only 3 supported pixel formats: GRAY8 (which is actually BayerRG), RGB, and BGRx. Setting the format to GRAY8 will disable the onboard ISP, allowing some camera models to achieve the full advertised framerate. RGB and BGRx will both use the ISP. See the technical documentation for your camera model to see the max achievable framerate in these modes.

gst-launch-1.0 spinnakersrc ! "video/x-raw, width=1920, height=1080, format=GRAY8" ! videoconvert ! autovideosink -e

Framerate

Framerate is set with the pipeline.

gst-launch-1.0 spinnakersrc ! "video/x-raw, width=1920, height=1080, fps=30/1" ! videoconvert ! autovideosink -e

Resolution

Resolution is set with the pipeline.

gst-launch-1.0 spinnakersrc ! "video/x-raw, width=1920, height=1080" ! videoconvert ! autovideosink -e

Exposure Limits

Set the minimum and maximum exposure limits with the exposure-lower and exposure-upper with the units in microseconds.

gst-launch-1.0 spinnakersrc exposure-lower=50 exposure-upper=15000 ! "video/x-raw, width=1920, height=1080" ! videoconvert ! autovideosink -e

Shutter Type

Can set the shutter type between rolling (0), global reset (1), or global shutter (2) mode. This is an enum so use the corresponding value. Defaults to rolling.

gst-launch-1.0 spinnakersrc shutter=0 ! "video/x-raw, width=1920, height=1080" ! videoconvert ! autovideosink -e

Offsets

Sets the X and Y offsets of the camera frame if you aren't using the full sensor with offset-x and offset-y in pixels.

gst-launch-1.0 spinnakersrc offset-x=10 offset-y=100 ! "video/x-raw, width=1920, height=1080" ! videoconvert ! autovideosink -e
