Which machine vision camera vendors provide OpenCV support?
I'm looking for high-quality machine vision cameras whose vendor provides support to OpenCV. To my knowledge, only XIMEA provides support.
And about other major brands (AVT, PointGrey, Pixelink...)?
I know it's not a problem for 1394 cameras, but I think USB3.0 and GigE cameras could become a headache without vendor support? Am I wrong?
Not an answer, but there are many reasons not to use OpenCV in a real image processing app, but the SDK dirrectly offered by the manufacturer: modularity (keep capture in a separate layer), flexibility (easily implement other vendor's driver) or need to access functionality that is not available through the generic OpenCV's VideoCapture. Also, having a solution based directly on the camera is often better in terms of processing speed.
