OpenDLV Microservice to interface with pylon-supported cameras (e.g., Basler GiGE cameras)

This repository provides source code to interface pylon-supported cameras for the OpenDLV software ecosystem. This microservice provides the captured frames in two separate shared memory areas, one for a picture in I420 format and one in ARGB format.

You need a C++14-compliant compiler to compile this project. The following dependency is shipped as part of the source distribution:

• libcluon -
• libyuv - - Google Patent License Conditions
• pylon

Building and Usage

Currently, we do not provide and distribute pre-built Docker images but we provide the build instructions in Dockerfile.amd64 for x86_64 platforms, Dockerfile.armhf for armhf platforms, and Dockerfile.aarch64 for aarch64 platforms that can be easily integrated in a docker-compose.yml file.

To run this microservice using docker-compose, you can simply add the following section to your docker-compose.yml file to let Docker build this software for you:

version: '2' # Must be present exactly once at the beginning of the docker-compose.yml file
services:    # Must be present exactly once at the beginning of the docker-compose.yml file
    device-camera-pylon-amd64:
        build:
            context: https://github.com/chalmers-revere/opendlv-device-camera-pylon.git#v0.0.3
            dockerfile: Dockerfile.amd64
        restart: on-failure
        ipc: "host"
        volumes:
        - /tmp:/tmp
        command: "--camera=22604270 --width=640 --height=480"

The parameters to the application are:

• --camera=ID: Serial number for pylon-compatible camera to be used
• --name.i420=XYZ: Name of the shared memory for the I420 formatted image; when omitted, cam0.i420 is chosen
• --name.argb=XYZ: Name of the shared memory for the ARGB formatted image; when omitted, cam0.argb is chosen
• --skip.argb: Don't decode into ARGB
• --width=W: Desired width of a frame
• --height=H: Desired height of a frame
• --offsetX: X for desired ROI (default: 0)
• --offsetY: Y for desired ROI (default: 0)
• --packetsize: If supported by the adapter (eg., jumbo frames), use this packetsize (default: 1500)
• --verbose: Display captured imageA
• --info: Display information about capturing
• --autoexposuretimeabslowerlimit: Set auto exposure time lower limit; default: 26
• --autoexposuretimeabsupperlimit: Set auto exposure time upper limit; default: 50000
