Integration of FLIR cameras

Yes, this is the camera. But I intend to purchase the Monochrome version.
Did you follow the “Gugusee Roller”.

Denis is using a Raspberry Pi Camera for his captures. He is using PyDng to convert the RAW of the Pi camera and uses AEO-Light for sound extraction. He is quite happy with the results he get from 35mm trailers.

He asked me whether I can send him a sample RAW file from a machine vision camera to see whether he could convert it to .dng. Is it alright if I send him your sample file to test, since I do not have any sample files.

22

Of course, yes please send him the raw file, good idea

23

File sent. I have found a SDK to convert to dng files at Adobe site.

But do not know what can be done with this.

A guy has a made a specific version of flycap with dng support but he says only for Flea3 cameras.

This address to download different versions of Flycap :

I tried with my Pointgrey Blackfly usb3. It is recognized. Jpg recording is fine, but DNG is not working well. Maybe I did something wrong with the settings…
Could any Flir/pointgrey users test it?
Thanks

Good development. Unfortunately, still we are the only people participating in this thread.

Hey there!
I’ll probably be getting a FLIR camera too soon and I plan to use the ImageMagick C++ API to do the conversion from raw to DNG and DPX. I’ll see how that goes…

Hi Marian,
thanks for the info.
Which Flir camera ?

28

@fabutch Probably the Blackfly USB3 BFS-U3-122S6C-C but I’m not sure yet.

I’m currently building a prototype for a scanner with a sprocket-less gate and I’m trying to use imageAI to detect frames with the help of AI. Let’s see if this produces usable results…

Looks like a nice cam and interesting project… wish you success

30

All the best. Waiting to see your results.

According to Denis the converting a color raw file is bit difficult. Because of the de-bayering step. But the Monochrome raw file is easy (according to him). He has sent me the converted file. But the file size exceeds the uploading limits.

32

Thanks Maheel,
This is good news for you for the black & white raw

33

Yes. But we have to find a solution for colour also.

34

Yes we do…
I’am in contact with Imaging Ressource.
Their Ic measure software is capable of dng recording.
They will do an online demo on Monday with me.

35

sorry, I could not resist…

Perseverance…
I’m gonna ask the NASA for dng and dpx recording :grinning:

Is this software only for their cameras? How much is the software?

38

Well, you’re probably want to stay far away from NASA software - that is a deep rabbit hole.

For a good taste of what you have to expect with NASA-software, just have a look at

which is a software for CubeSats and has now fixes and improvements required for the Mars helicopter Ingenuity merged into it. So I think they are actually using this stuff on the helicopter.

You would need to install lots and lots of libraries and compile the stuff for yourself. And of course, it’s not really aiming at standard hardware available to us (well, they have a Raspberry Pi demo section). In any case, that stuff won’t be of any help for film scanner projects.

I am sorry, my post above was not a really serious one with respect to the thread’s topic… :innocent:

Yes their software are only for their cameras. It’s free

No sorry please :wink:
I think Perseverance is a word that suits very well many of us
(excuse for my English, I do the best I can :wink: )
