Python bindings for the Optris PI thermal imaging cameras.
Ensure that the SDK is extracted to C:\lib\irDirectSDK. Then to build run
python setup.pt build_ext --inplace
Then to use the library
import pyoptris
import cv2
pyoptris.usb_init('generic.xml')
# or
pyoptris.tcp_init('localhost', 1337)
while(True):
frame = pyoptris.get_palette_image()
cv2.imshow('frame', frame)
if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
break
pyoptris.terminate()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()- This library leaks memory. I haven't gotten so far as to work this part out but it will come soon.
- Can only talk to one camera at the moment, need to bind to the C++ library rather than the C direct_binding functions.
- Lots of hacked together programming at this stage, so there is limited error checking, no guarantee of best practices etc.
This has been tested on Windows 10 with Miniconda 4.7.11, Python 3.7.4 64bit, Build Tools for Visual Studio 2019, and with an Optris PI 450 camera.
I am very new to working with the Python C API so there are likely lots of issues with the code, I was only coding with this for a short time to test a camera from a supplier. I am also new to writing Python extensions, especially using setuptools, so this may also be incomplete.
I welcome any suggestions, pull requests, discussion, etc.
