viva-genicam (Python)
Pure-Rust GenICam stack with Python bindings. Discover, control, and stream GigE Vision and USB3 Vision cameras from Python — no aravis, no C toolchain, just a wheel.
pip install viva-genicam
The install also provides viva-camctl, the diagnostic CLI, so
viva-camctl report --ip <CAMERA-IP> --out viva-report.txt works without a Rust
toolchain. It is the right thing to attach to a bug report.
import viva_genicam as vg
cams = vg.discover(timeout_ms=500)
with vg.connect_gige(cams[0]) as cam: # control is given back at the end
print(cam.get("DeviceModelName"))
cam.set_exposure_time(10_000.0)
with cam.stream() as frames:
for frame in frames:
arr = frame.to_numpy() # (H, W) uint16 for a 12-bit camera, ...
print(frame.width, frame.height, frame.pixel_format)
break
Cameras and frames work from any thread, and calls that wait on the camera
release the GIL. viva_genicam.testing.FakeGigeCamera is a camera in the same
process, for tests and demos without hardware.
See the documentation for the full API.
Build from source
See CONTRIBUTING.md in the repository.
Licensing
MIT. USB3 Vision support is pure Rust (nusb), so the wheel links no C USB library.
