[14:49:02] <CaptHindsight> http://imagebin.org/309199 0.004" (100um) gap with Sobel
[14:50:29] <CaptHindsight> how will people use camunits in Axis? Just for manual vision based edge/center finding or?

[14:53:24] -!- garfong has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[14:53:46] <CaptHindsight> I was thinking it could be handy if it could work with easy to drop in Python plug-ins like Gimp features
[14:54:55] <CaptHindsight> so users could perform image enhancement, auto edge finding, auto alignment using fiducials on PCB's etc

[15:04:03] <kwallace2> I tend to think the automated vision features would not be used by the average hobby machinist.
[15:05:42] <CaptHindsight> would they even use it manually? Like center find in the camera and use the jog buttons?

[15:08:39] <kwallace2> I tend to prefer using a probe rather than the camera.
[15:09:50] <CaptHindsight> using fiducials and camera is really handy when working with PCB's
[15:10:53] <kwallace2> Yeah, using a probe on PCB traces and holes could be a problem.
[15:12:02] <archivist> you can do 3d by adjusting z and looking for focus
[15:12:44] <archivist> seen some machines creating surfaces like that

[15:13:05] -!- psha[work] [psha[work]!~psha@psha.org.ru] has joined #linuxcnc-devel
[15:13:20] <CaptHindsight> or by having a scale on the surface of the part and moving Z
[15:14:39] <kwallace2> One project I have on the to-do list is mount a pair of laser pointers to my camera. They would be set to converge on the camera focus.
[15:14:45] <archivist> I want it for measuring small gears
[15:14:54] <CaptHindsight> there are only a few working plugins right now for camunits, it might be best to make it as flexible as possible

[15:15:42] -!- mhaberler has quit [Ping timeout: 276 seconds]
[15:16:59] <kwallace2> I seem to recall Camunits is pretty old and could use some attension.
[15:17:27] <CaptHindsight> yeah, not touched except by maybe psha since 2011
[15:17:34] <MrSun_> ahh aparently he fixed just the issue i was wondering about .. or atleast one of them =)
[15:17:54] <kwallace2> oops, attention
[15:17:55] <CaptHindsight> it uses OpenGL, and other libs for the processing
[15:18:22] <MrSun_> haha so he saw it somehow or someone pinged him about it =) cool! =)

[15:42:07] <CaptHindsight> kwallace2: camunits plugs into Axis pretty easily as a Tab
[15:42:31] <CaptHindsight> and PyCam could be a plugin for camunits
[15:43:31] <CaptHindsight> oh sorry nevermind I was thinking of another Python Camera based app
[15:44:49] <kwallace2> Oops, another mistake, I meant to say PyGame not PyCam.

[15:47:30] <psha[work]> yep, camunits are a bit rotten
[15:47:55] <psha[work]> i've started porting it to gtk3 and gobject introspection
[15:47:59] <psha[work]> but that work stalled

[15:50:57] -!- skors has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
[15:51:22] <kwallace2> I think CamUnits got a lot of people started with using cameras.
[15:53:39] <Connor> What about using OpenCV ?
[15:55:30] -!- gene78 has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[15:58:32] <kwallace2> I haven't looked at OpenCV yet, because PyGame provided what I needed without much fuss.
[15:59:32] <Connor> A while back.. I was doing some camera stuff for MechWarfare... I found PyGame too slow.. but that was pulling a stream off of a wifi camera with no API support..
[15:59:44] <kwallace2> I have my eye on this camera: http://www.ebay.com/itm/270865573196
[15:59:47] <Connor> I was getting 2 to 4 seconds lag time.
[16:00:01] <CaptHindsight> we should be able to use any libraries
[16:00:35] <Connor> and why is camunits bitrot ? Any way to fork it and continue using it ?
[16:01:28] <CaptHindsight> Connor: thats the question, do we or do we use something else to tie all the imaging libraries into some GUI
[16:02:12] <CaptHindsight> camunits does install into AXIS with little effort
[16:02:13] <Connor> What all are we using at the moment ? camview, camunits ??
[16:02:45] <CaptHindsight> there's no we yet either, psha just got camunits to work as a tab in Axis
[16:02:58] -!- patrickarlt has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
[16:03:27] <Connor> okay.... fine.. what all is currently working?? I have camunits installed.. and a camview and camview-emc
[16:03:29] <CaptHindsight> it can also work stand alone
[16:04:10] <CaptHindsight> that works as a tab in Axis, that is it so far
[16:07:18] <Connor> and are you still talking passive use, or active use at this point ? I'm starting to think just using a touch probe would be more accurate and easier.
[16:08:15] <CaptHindsight> I'm using vision for all sorts of active applications such as edge detection, defect detection, scanning etc etc
[16:09:11] <CaptHindsight> now I'm just asking about what everyone else might be interested in with a camera/vision system
[16:09:57] <archivist> I use a measuring microscope at the moment till something better comes along that suits me
[16:12:37] <archivist> I often measure angles that way
[16:14:30] <CaptHindsight> most of my applications are additive or hybrids, inkjetting onto non-planar surfaces, adding plastics to the metal core of a part, printing a blood vessel in liver tissue
[16:14:43] <Connor> edge detection / center finding passive or active... would be my uses...
[16:15:05] <archivist> me measuring a gear http://www.collection.archivist.info/searchv13.php?searchstr=microscope+PD+travelling
[16:15:13] <CaptHindsight> I'm just looking at what might make sense for the widest audience
[16:16:13] <Connor> How DO you measure a angle when it's beveled like that?
[16:16:41] <CaptHindsight> camunits has it's own GUI or can be a tab in Axis, I guess as long as anyone can easily plug in their tools everyone should be happy
[16:17:10] <archivist> I am looking for certain standard angles at the PCD so easy enough to guess in that example
[16:17:41] <CaptHindsight> GIMP has a dropdown to access your plugins written in Python
[16:19:35] <CaptHindsight> as long as the framework is there people can add vision based measurement, edge detect, center detect, auto ZERO, align to the fiducials etc
[16:20:13] <archivist> sequence of images in Z to get a 3d profile too :)
[16:21:11] <Connor> OKay. So, I have a question.. How important is it to have the focal length the same every time you use it for edge and center finding ?
[16:21:56] <archivist> if the focal length is fixed your Z movements will have stable numbers
[16:22:06] <archivist> and can be calibrated
[16:22:38] <Connor> I got a cheap $4 USB camera.. manual focus.. was planning on using it..
[16:23:24] <Connor> I'll need to make something to lock the lens in place so it doesn't get adjusted by accident...
[16:23:31] <CaptHindsight> all my pics above are with <$40 usb cams
[16:24:08] <Connor> I need to make a spindle mount for it..
[16:24:08] <CaptHindsight> I also have one of those $4 usb cams with the LED's you showed me on my desk
[16:24:28] <Connor> and re-package it into a better case...
[16:24:40] <Connor> not sure how useful the LED's are..
[16:24:58] <archivist> I have grotty usb microscope camera
[16:24:59] <CaptHindsight> they help when in a dark room :)
[16:25:20] <archivist> lighting can make the difference
[16:25:56] <Connor> In my testing it washed the image out and with metal, made it very hard to see the edges due to glare..
[16:25:58] <archivist> sometimes you need back light for tool profile
[16:27:54] -!- toner has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
[16:28:05] <archivist> and often you need the camera to move to find the item and also the tool
[16:28:52] <archivist> which may mean not on the same axis as either
[16:28:54] <CaptHindsight> a small bulb sprayer with fine powder also knocks down the glare
[16:28:56] <Connor> archivist: In what use are you talking about tool profile and having it move ?
[16:29:03] <archivist> http://www.archivist.info/cnc/target.php
[16:29:30] <Connor> okay, so, you have the camera mounted all the time ?
[16:29:30] <archivist> that image one needs to see the gear centre ans also the cutter centre line
[16:29:44] <skunkworks> cradek, Thank you!!!
[16:29:55] <archivist> that was sat on the X or Y at the time
[16:30:17] <archivist> but needed its own axis
[16:31:16] <archivist> yes the date on the image was when I gave that up as "needing more work to be usable"

[17:49:30] <psha[work]> Connor: camunits is not rotten but stalled
[17:49:46] <psha[work]> works fine with gtk2
[17:50:30] <Connor> psha[work]: What all is used to get camera showing up in linuxcnc? I had to install several things.. Looks like camview, camuinits and your plugins ?
[17:50:33] <psha[work]> but it's best capture framework i've seen
[17:50:43] <psha[work]> yep
[17:51:09] <Connor> Any issues with the fact that's it's stalled ?
[17:53:04] <psha[work]> no issues until gtk2 will be deprecated and removed from repos
[17:53:19] <psha[work]> main glib is rocksolid and stable
[17:53:35] <psha[work]> camunits is glib based framework
[17:53:43] <psha[work]> only possible problems with viewer
[17:53:49] <Connor> Then I say keep using it...
[17:54:15] <CaptHindsight> as long as we can easily add imaging libs
[17:54:53] <psha[work]> CaptHindsight: what is 'imaging lib'?
[17:55:31] <CaptHindsight> and be able to easily string image processing functions together
[17:55:48] <CaptHindsight> image processing libraries
[17:56:35] <psha[work]> like opencv?
[17:57:13] <CaptHindsight> with camunits you pick a source, imaging function say color space conversion and then an output
[17:58:11] <CaptHindsight> as long as users can easily add new functions between camera and output it's fine
[17:58:21] <psha[work]> and that's why i've picked camunits
[17:58:22] <CaptHindsight> yes, like openCV for one
[17:58:32] <psha[work]> plugin api
[17:58:47] <psha[work]> not trivial but it's not hard to add plugins
[17:59:08] <CaptHindsight> may a wrapper to make it easier
[17:59:44] <CaptHindsight> it should be easy like script-fu and pyhton-fu in Gimp
[18:00:32] -!- syyl_ws has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[18:00:41] <psha[work]> maybe
[18:00:54] <CaptHindsight> people will most likely want to play with contrast, thresholds, Sobel, Laplace, pixel counting etc
[18:00:56] <psha[work]> i've thought about writing python wrappers for plugins
[18:01:22] <psha[work]> however writing C plugins are not hard too
[18:01:26] <CaptHindsight> edge find, count pixel between edges
[18:01:38] <CaptHindsight> yeah but many people don't write C
[18:02:45] <CaptHindsight> being able to work with image-magik or graphics-magik for example
[18:02:59] <CaptHindsight> you don't have to know who to write code to use them
[18:03:26] <CaptHindsight> lots of CNC users aren't programmers

[18:37:47] <CaptHindsight> looks like my old stuff, i just got rid of some old wire wrapped ALU boards
[18:37:53] <archivist> had to spend a few k upgrading the PC memory for that pcb
[18:38:21] <archivist> that was 4 layer and used vram
[18:38:21] <CaptHindsight> 640k should be enough :)
[18:38:35] <archivist> it was not enough :)

[18:39:09] <archivist> got the 1mb expanded memory card
[18:45:37] <CaptHindsight> we mostly used Imaging Technology boards back then, the first RS-170 real time frame grabber was a big deal even though it only could capture one frame

[18:51:00] <CaptHindsight> before Ku band and smaller antennas came along
[18:52:40] <CaptHindsight> 4x oversampling so it was ~14Mhz sample rate at 8-10 bits per pixel
[18:54:37] <CaptHindsight> now all these applications come as sample filters in the free disk packed with your $4 usb webcam
[18:54:59] <archivist> and bog down your cpu :)

[18:58:44] <CaptHindsight> and that's just for the dancing paper clip
