acquisition

• Capture images from USB, IEEE-1394 and GigE Vision digital cameras, framegrabbers, TWAIN, VFV and WDM devices.
• Perform frame averaging and integration while capturing.
• Real-time Bayer decoding for raw color devices.
• Acquire, create, and playback image sequences with user-specified time lapse.
• Capture video into AVI 2.0 files with selectable compression.
• Support for 10-, 12- and 16-bit input devices
• Video format and size selection.
• Hardware-controlled brightness, contrast, saturation and hue;
• Mapping of image memory to the DMA buffer for performance boost
• Simultaneous grabbing from multiple cameras.
• Trigger and encoder synchronization; exposition, clock and line rate adjustment for digital and line-scan cameras.
• Simulation video-driver for prototyping real-time algorithms prior to buying imaging hardware.
• Simulate video input from an AVI file, generate standard patterns, apply several types of noise to a static image, add non-uniform background.
• Read and store images in BMP, PCX, GIF, JPEG, TIFF, TGA, FITS, STK and user-defined formats.
• Handle a wide variety of images types, including the high-bit depth ones:
  • 1-bit binary
  • 8-bit gray
  • 16-bit gray
  • 32-bit gray
  • 32-bit floating point
  • 64-bit complex
  • 4-bit palletized
  • 8-bit palletized
  • 8-bit multiphase
  • 24-bit color
  • 48-bit color
• Support extended TIFF format for storing high-depth images and look-up tables
• Use a proprietary IWD format with lossless compression
• Preserve geometrical and optical scales in IWD, TIFF and JPEG files
• Adjust compression settings for JPEG, TIFF and AVI files
