ids-peak-ipl 1.13.1.0.2

ids_peak_ipl - A library for image manipulation

ids_peak_ipl provides python bindings for the IDS peak IPL. It exposes all the functionality of the peak IPL.

Benefit from many Python advantages, for example the interactive programming of your IDS camera. Write and test small code snippets without the complex setup of a programming IDE including a toolchain. This package is ideal for prototyping IDS camera applications for all supported peak IPL platforms (Windows, Linux, Linux Embedded).

Installation

$ pip install ids_peak_ipl

Quickstart

Creating a peak IPL image from width and height:

width = 16
height = 16
image_from_size = ids_peak_ipl.Image.CreateFromSize(
    ids_peak_ipl.PixelFormatName_Mono8, width, height)

Creating a peak IPL image from a IDS peak genericAPI buffer manually:

NOTE: Using the BufferToImage function provided by the peak IPL extension in the IDS peak genericAPI package is strongly recommended. To ensure correct functionality when using auto features, BufferToImage must be utilized.

image_from_size_and_buffer = ids_peak_ipl.Image.CreateFromSizeAndBuffer(
    buffer.PixelFormat(),
    buffer.BasePtr(),
    buffer.Size(),
    buffer.Width(),
    buffer.Height()
)

Creating a peak IPL image from a numpy array:

import numpy as np

numpy_array = np.array([[10, 20, 30]], dtype=np.uint8)
image_from_size_and_python_buffer = ids_peak_ipl.Image.CreateFromSizeAndPythonBuffer(
    img.PixelFormatName_RGB8, numpy_array, width, height)

Creating a peak IPL image from a python bytearray:

byte_array = bytearray([255, 10, 128])
image_from_size_and_python_buffer = ids_peak_ipl.Image.CreateFromSizeAndPythonBuffer(
    img.PixelFormatName_RGB8, byte_array, width, height)
