Intro: I am trying to write a program which connects to a FLIR AX5(GigE Vision) camera and then save images after regular intervals to a pre-specified location on my PC. These images must be 14bit which contains the temperature information. Later I need to process these images using openCV to get some meaningful results from obtained temperature data.
Current Position: I can save image at regular interval but the image which I am getting doesn't contain 14 bit data but 8 bit data instead. This even after I change the PixelFormat to 14 bit, CMOS and LVDT bit depths to 14 bit. I checked the resulting .bin file in matlab and found that the max pixel value is 255 which means image is being stored in 8 bit format. I am using the sample code provided by eBus SDK to do this job. In this code I have made some changes as per my requirement.
Please help in saving the image in the raw format from which I can read the temperature data. P.S. Relevant code is here.
// If the buffer contains an image, display width and height.
uint32_t lWidth = 0, lHeight = 0;
lType = lBuffer->GetPayloadType();
cout << fixed << setprecision( 1 );
cout << lDoodle[ lDoodleIndex ];
cout << " BlockID: " << uppercase << hex << setfill( '0' ) << setw( 16 ) << lBuffer->GetBlockID();
if (lType == PvPayloadTypeImage)
{
// Get image specific buffer interface.
PvImage *lImage = lBuffer->GetImage();
// Read width, height.
lWidth = lImage->GetWidth();
lHeight = lImage->GetHeight();
cout << " W: " << dec << lWidth << " H: " << lHeight;
lBuffer->GetImage()->Alloc(lWidth, lHeight, lBuffer->GetImage()->GetPixelType());
if (lBuffer->GetBlockID()%50==0) {
char filename[]= IMAGE_SAVE_LOC;
std::string s=std::to_string(lBuffer->GetBlockID());
char const *schar=s.c_str();
strcat(filename, schar);
strcat(filename,".bin");
lBufferWriter.Store(lBuffer,filename);
}
