Notes from getting the official lirec camera working with Linux.
- Imaging Source DFK 31AF03-Z
Howto
- After plugging the camera in, you may need to do:
modprobe raw1394 modprobe video1394 chmod 777 /dev/raw1394 chmod 777 /dev/video1394
- Use Coriander to test the camera
To get an image you have to press the buttons in the following order:
- In the services tab click 'Receive' at the top
- Then in the ISO Control box in the same tab, click 'Start'
- Click 'Display' at the top
To test OpenCV, install libunicap from http://unicap-imaging.org, then rebuild opencv by rerunning:
./configure --use-unicap=yes
The examples in libunicap are very useful for debugging, such as device_info, raw_image and sdl_display. There is also an OpenCV example here.
