How do I get Allied Vision Camera (GC2450C) working with OpenCV 2.4?

edit

Actually not responded to your mail yet but this seems wrong to me. You are basically reading a grayscale 8 bit image as a bayer pattern to then apply color transformation. Are you sure this records true colors?

Hello There, Thanking you for your reply.

1. I have download and install the AVT PvAPI http://www.alliedvisiontec.com/apac/products/legacy.html

2. I have already compiled and installed OpenCV 2.4.7, and currently using it with VS2010

3. I have got the sample Code from allied Vision "http://www.alliedvisiontec.com/emea/support/knowledge-base.html?tx_nawavtknowledgebase_piList[uid]=119&tx_nawavtknowledgebase_piList[mode]=single" but it was written in VS6 and i have convert it in VS10 and then compiled it generate an error saying

error LNK 1104:cannot open file 'cv210d.lib'

That is because you are trying to link versus old libraries of openCV. You have to replace the includes with the correct C/C++ header files of the new structure, and adapt the dependencies for the correct libs.

As you have suggest, the error is because i am trying to link old version of opencv, now i have remove this file along with other file have "210d.lib", and also configure C/C++ and Linker as mentioned below 1. C/C++ --> Additional Include Directories: "C:\Program Files \Allied Vision Technologies\GigESDK\lib-pc" 2. C/C++ --> Additional Include Directories: "C:\Program Files \Allied Vision Technologies\GigESDK\inc-pc"

3.Linker->Additional Library Directories "C:\Program Files \Allied Vision Technologies\GigESDK\lib-pc" then all error gone and new error come Like:

Error 2 error LNK2005: __initp_misc_invarg already defined in LIBCMTD.lib(invarg.obj) C:\Program Files\Allied Vision Technologies\GigESDK\examples\App5 - Snap O

I am able to compile my GigE code along with openCV libraries without any error.

but it ask for PvAPI.dll though i have PvAPI.dll but I just wanted to know where to put "PvAPI.dll",

as each time i run my code it ask about PvAPI.dll saying that

PvAPI.dll is missing from your computer, try reinstalling the program to fixm this problem

if i put this dll in my OpnCV dll's,during run time it says

"The application was unable to start correctly (0XC000007b.)"

Hello Friends,

Finally some Positive signal start coming. probably i am using corrupt PvAPI.dll, now code start working and saying //----------------------------------------------------------

Frame capturing configured, starting the actual capture

numcams = 1 Camera ID = 137937 Frame Size = 50184000 Frame Width = 2448 Frame Height = 2050

Start the acquisition 0

It Stuck at PvCaptureQueueFrame(myCamera.Handle,&(myCamera.Frame),NULL)

Line No:128

if(!PvCaptureQueueFrame(myCamera.Handle, &(myCamera.Frame), NULL))

Please guide me

@kaushal can you share how did you do to get camera working. thanks

Actually follow the links above, go to the gige camera website and do like he did :) the code is all there!

@kaushal thank you for your questions and the answers from @StevenPuttemans i run the program for a camera manta125b i had your same troubles but i can fix and correct them, but can you tell me what can ido because when a run the program ii display me (in a blank screen) "This script will capture and save images derived from a MANTA GigE camera \n""This script uses some required and some adaptable parameters: \n""manta_GigE_2.exe\n"" <output folder> \n"" <nr of frames = 100> \n"" <output format = '.pgm'> \n" and when i open some key the program breaks, what information i need for it run correctly, this seems only run the first part of the program, thank you friends.

I would suggest reopening a new question. Specify your configuration, your source, ... and people will help you find a solution. Opening old questions is not a good approach!
