Hello,
I have been trying to get a Point Grey Firefly (firewire) camera working in Linux (Karmic). It works fine with ReactiVision and coriander (the only 2 apps I tried). In pd, I was preferring [pix_video] but neither v4l2 driver nor dv1394 works (I believe this is a dc camera).
[pix_video] has no support for IIDC cameras yet. it's planned for the next release, however.
the "dv" backend in pix_video refers to camcorder's (those ieee1394 cameras that don't work with coriander); it doesn't work with the new juju stack, however (found in recent linux kernels; most distributions seem to only ship this new stack :-()
Does anyone have any experience with this camera in linux? Does anyone know of any OpenCV frontend that could deal with this kind of camera from where I could send OSC or something like that?
I need to get it working within a week :)
if it is working with coriander, you should be able to pipe the data from coriander into Gem, using a vloopback device. make sure that you specify the proper dimensions on both sides manually.
