The manufacturer of industrial cameras for machine vision The Imaging Source, has recently reproted the availability of Open Source Linux support for all of its camera sytems.
Released under the Apache License 2.0 – the source code is available as an Open Source project and allows the integration of all industrial camera systems with GigE, USB and FireWire interfaces into popular distributions, such as Red Hat,, Ubuntu, Debian and CentOS.
“We have seen customer demand for Linux support continually grow in the past few years. In the meantime, we work with Linux every day. Therefore, it makes sense for us to offer comprehensive Open Source software at GitHub.com to integrate our cameras into popular distributions. We look forward to the feedback from our customers.” As Rolf Bollhorst, CEO of The Imaging Source points out.
You can download the Open Source source code from The Imaging Source at GitHub.com and compile it directly into your own applications.
