High-Speed Industrial Cameras
Supported Brands for High-Speed Industrial Cameras
Currently, the XINGYING software supports high-speed industrial cameras from "Daheng Industrial Camera, Gray Point Industrial Camera, and Alkeria High-Speed Industrial Camera." For specific models, please contact technical support. Different industrial cameras require the installation of the corresponding camera brand's drivers, and the use of the camera's own software for pre-setting the camera parameters.
Installing Drivers for High-Speed Industrial Cameras
Here's an example with Alkeria high-speed industrial cameras: To use Alkeria high-speed industrial cameras, you need to install the camera drivers. Open the driver installation package and double-click "SDK-MaestroUSB3_Windows-v2.8.0.exe" to install the drivers (16.8.1). During the installation process, choose the default installation path, click "Next," select "I agree," and click "Install" to wait for the installation to complete.
After the drivers have been successfully installed, a "MaestroUSB3" tool will be generated on the computer desktop (16.8.2). Double-click "MaestroUSB3," enter the Bin— .NET x64 path in the pop-up folder (16.8.3), plug the high-speed industrial camera's USB cable into the computer's USB 3.0 port, and double-click "AlkeriaPlayer64.exe" to enter the camera player interface (16.8.4).
Connecting and Configuring High-Speed Industrial Cameras
After connecting the Alkeria high-speed industrial camera to the computer, in the industrial camera player, click the play button (16.8.5), and the player window will display the camera's image. If there's an error pop-up after clicking the play button, click the "Init Camera" button to initialize the camera (16.8.6). After initialization, clicking play will display the camera's image.
After playing the image from the camera in the player, users can configure various parameters of the camera according to their needs. Click the "Settings" button to bring up the settings menu (16.8.7), where you can modify the camera's brightness, exposure, and other parameters (16.8.8) to suit your personal needs. If you have configured the camera parameters and then unplug and reinsert the USB cable of the high-speed industrial camera, the settings will be reset to default values, and you will need to reconfigure the camera parameters in "Settings".
Synchronization of Alkeria High-Speed Industrial Camera with Motion Capture
Install version 3.1.1.X of XINGYING and run XINGYING as an administrator to perform a correct calibration.
After calibration, perform a reference video calibration for the Alkeria high-speed industrial camera. Once the calibration is complete, synchronization can be achieved (for detailed steps, please refer to the section "16, Third-party Adaptation (7) Industrial Cameras").
Important Notes: When using the Alkeria high-speed industrial camera, the camera player and XINGYING's reference video can only play one at a time, not simultaneously. When using the reference video view in XINGYING software to play the high-speed industrial camera image, please disconnect the player from playing (16.8.9).
Recording Reference Video
After successful reference video calibration of the industrial camera, we can record data synced with the 3D view from the industrial camera. Switch the interface to the dual view of 3D and reference video, enter the recording file name, and check the "Reference Video" option, then click the record button to start recording.
After recording is completed, switch the interface to the dual view of 3D and reference video in Edit mode. Load the recorded data and click play to observe the synchronized effect of the reference video and the 3D view.
