videoHALCON
|
||||
===========
|
||||
|
||||
HALCON-backend for pix_video
|
||||
|
||||
HALCON is a commercial library that can do image-acquisition from so-called
|
||||
"professional" hardware, available from MVTec.
|
||||
You have to purchase their framework (there might be a cheap evaluation version)
|
||||
in order to use it with Gem.
|
||||

||||

||||
|
||||
installation instructions for linux
|
||||
===================================
|
||||
0. obvious prerequisites
|
||||
you need a C++-compiler, Pd (inclusing headers) and the Gem-sources (including
|
||||
the videoHALCON plugin)
|
||||
you should have Gem running (preferrably self-compiled)
|
||||
|
||||
1. getting HALCON
|
||||
|
||||
get HALCON and install it onto your computer (and make sure to read their
|
||||
installation instructions).
|
||||
the directory you installed into shall henceforward be referred to as HALCONROOT
|
||||
the architecture you chose (eg. "x86-linux2.4-gcc40") shall be called HALCONARCH
|
||||
|
||||
note: when running anything HALCONic, you will need to set HALCONROOT and
|
||||
HALCONARCH as environment-variables; it's a good idea to do so right now:
|
||||
e.g.
|
||||
$ export HALCONROOT=${HOME}/lib/halcon
|
||||
$ export HALCONARCH=x86-linux2.4-gcc40
|
||||
$ ls -l ${HALCONROOT}/lib/${HALCONARCH}
|
||||
|
||||
if all went well, you should see a number of files from the halcon installation.
|
||||
if not, adapt HALCONROOT and HALCONARCH to your system.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2. compiling videoHALCON
|
||||
|
||||
open a terminal and enter this directory
|
||||
$ cd [Gem]/src/plugins/videoHALCON/
|
||||
|
||||
if you haven't done so yet, run autoreconf
|
||||
$ autoreconf -fiv
|
||||
(if you built Gem from source, you might have already done so)
|
||||
|
||||
now run configure
|
||||
you will have to tell configure where to find your HALCON.
|
||||
if you have set HALCONROOT and HALCONARCH correctly, then the HALCON-framework
|
||||
should be detected automatically, so just run:
|
||||
$ ./configure
|
||||
|
||||
if you haven't set the environment variables, you can specify them via
|
||||
configure-flags, e.g.:
|
||||
$ ./configure --with-halcon=${HOME}/lib/halcon --with-halconarch=x86-linux2.4-gcc40
|
||||
|
||||
you might also have to tell configure where to find the Pd-sources by specifying
|
||||
the /path/to/pd with the "--with-pd=" flag.
|
||||
for more information try:
|
||||
$ ./configure --help
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
if all went well, you should see a line "checking for HALCON... yes" near the
|
||||
end of configure's output.
|
||||
|
||||
now run the build:
|
||||
$ make
|
||||
|
||||
you will get an error-message if something failed.
|
||||
|
||||
if you want, you can install the plugin into /usr/local/lib/pd/extra/Gem (or
|
||||
wherever you specified with the "--libdir=" flag, by running
|
||||
$ make install
|
||||
|
||||
you can also manually install the plugin, by copying the file
|
||||
".libs/gem_videoHALCON.so" next to your Gem-binary.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
3. using videoHALCON
|
||||
|
||||
start Pd/Gem
|
||||
create an object [pix_video]
|
||||
on the Pd-console, you should see (among other things) something like:
|
||||
"[pix_video]: backend #0='halcon' : halcon iidc gige falcon"
|
||||
the backend-# will be different) depending on the number of video-backends found
|
||||
on your system; it's only important that you find one backend named "halcon"
|
||||
|
||||
probably this won't work, with Gem complaining that it cannot find
|
||||
"libhalconcpp.so" or similar.
|
||||
in this case should tell the linker where to find the halcon-libraries, using
|
||||
the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable:
|
||||
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${HALCONROOT}/lib/${HALCONARCH} pd -lib Gem
|
||||
should do the trick.
|
||||
|
||||
an alternative would be to install the files found in
|
||||
${HALCONROOT}/lib/${HALCONARCH} into your system's library folder (e.g.
|
||||
/usr/local/lib/) and/or add this folder to /etc/ld.so.conf
|
||||
|
||||
afaik, you really MUST set the HALCONROOT, in order to make halcon find your
|
||||
license files.
|
||||
|
||||
once the plugin loaded correctly, you can start using it.
|
||||
tell [pix_video] to open a device named like "<name>:<cameratype>:<device>"
|
||||
(that's 3 parameters, separated by colons)
|
||||
the exact meaning of these parameters can be obtained from the HALCON
|
||||
documentation for your halcon-backend
|
||||
http://www.mvtec.com/download/release/hacq-x86sse2-linux2.4-gcc40-9.0.html
|
||||
|
||||
examples:
|
||||
[device File:../examples/data/(
|
||||
this will use the HALCON's "File" (virtual framegrabber) driver, that will read
|
||||
all images in the ../examples/data directory and display them.
|
||||
|
||||
[device GigEVision::0013d453dbc1(
|
||||
this will use the "GiGE" backend, using the "default" camera-description
|
||||
(meaning that it will be obtained from the camera; you could also specify an
|
||||
XML-file here), and connecting to the GiGE camera with the MAC-address
|
||||
00:13:d4:53:db:c1
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
which exact HALCON-backends are available depends on what you have installed.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
possible issues
|
||||
===============
|
||||
due to lack of hardware (and HALCONs outdated iidc interface) i have not been
|
||||
able to test anything but the "File" backend.
|
||||
in theory however, all should work
|
||||
|
||||
some backends (e.g. "1394IIDC") require a camera-type containing colons; since
|
||||
colons are already used for delimiting, this obivously won't work.
|
||||
if you have idea's (and code) to solve this, i will be happily include them.
