ContinuousCapture_BVS-3D-RV0.cpp

The ContinuousCapture_BVS-3D-RV0 program is based on the ContinuousCapture.cpp example concerning the acquisition implementation. The sample is intended for BVS 3D-RV0 devices only as it makes use of device specific settings which won't be supported by the majority of other devices. The sample will set up a device in a way that multi-part data will be delivered and will display both buffer parts in two different display windows.

Since

2.50.0

Program location

The source file ContinuousCapture_BVS-3D-RV0.cpp is only part of this document so far, so in order to play around with it must be copied from here!

Note

The following device families are currently supported by this sample:

• BVS 3D-RV0 (rc_visard)

ContinuousCapture_BVS-3D-RV0 example:

1. Opens a BVS 3D-RV0 device.
2. Configures the device in a way it will deliver multi-part data OR will terminate with an error message if the configuration fails.
3. Captures buffers continuously and will display(Windows) or output information(on other platforms) for the both parts of the delivered buffer.

How it works

After getting the device from user input the sample opens the device (pDev->open()). Then the sample will try to set up the device accordingly by calling the configureDevice() function. The image acquisition will make use of the mvIMPACT::acquire::helper::RequestProvider class discussed in the ContinuousCapture.cpp example application. If necessary, the device will disable the pattern projector once the acquisition is stopped.

Used device settings:

• The delivered multipart data is configured to an intensity and a confidence map.
• To make sure intensity image and confidence map are combined to a single multipart buffer, the property mvIMPACT::acquire::GenICam::AcquisitionControl::acquisitionMultiPartMode, is configured to "SynchronizedComponents". Otherwise each image would be delivered in a single buffer.
• For a continuous image acquisition the mvIMPACT::acquire::GenICam::DepthControl::depthAcquisitionMode is set to "Continuous".
• The device offers a possibility to have a high quality depth image, the value of mvIMPACT::acquire::GenICam::DepthControl::depthQuality is set to "High", which results in an image which has a slightly smaller resolution than the intensity image.
• The device is capable of a method to make the setup more robust against the influence of environmental light. Once enabled, the system will take several images before the disparity image is created. The timeout for allowing multiple images can be set by using the mvIMPACT::acquire::GenICam::DepthControl::depthExposureAdaptTimeout property.

Handling multi part data

Once the request object is ready the number of included multi part buffers can be obtained by calling mvIMPACT::acquire::Request::getBufferPartCount(). A specific buffer part can be used by calling mvIMPACT::acquire::Request::getBufferPart( ) and passing the number of the desired part to create a BufferPart object which can be used like a usual mvIMPACT::acquire::Request object afterwards.
