Pythonic interface to the auo-generated aravis bindings. Minimal example code: import aravis ids = aravis.get_device_ids() #List visible cameras cam = aravis.Camera(ids[0]) #get the first camera try: cam.start_acquisition_continuous(nb_buffers=2) frame = cam.pop_frame()# get next frame from camera print("Saving frame to ", "myframe.npy") np.save(path, frame) cam.stop_acquisition() finally: cam.shutdown() Next read the other examples and the code Rmq: Aravis needs to be compiled with intropsection support. It requires at least libgirepository1.0-dev and gobject-introspection packges on ubuntu User may need to increase max UDP packet size: ifconfig etho0 mtu 9000 up or/and vi /etc/network/interfaces add mtu 9000
