Inherits Camera.

Public Types
enum	CameraFeature { SHUTTER , ZOOM , GAIN , FOCUS , IRIS , HUE , WHITEBALANCE , SHARPNESS , SATURATION , GAMMA , BRIGHTNESS , AUTOEXPOSURE }
	Optional features of a camera.

enum	ColorCode { MONO8 , YUV411 , YUV422 , YUV444 , RGB8 , MONO16 , RGB16 , MONO16S , RGB16S , RAW8 , RAW16 , RGB24 }
	Optional colormodes available when capturing.

enum	CapturePolicy { SINGLE_SHOT , CONTINUES , CONTINUES_BUFFERED }
	defines how images are captured. When the SINGLE_SHOT CapturePolicy is used the user has to trigger the camera through acquire. When CONTINUES is used images are captured according to the given frameRate and getImage is more efficient to use. The image returned is allways the newest captured image. When using CONTINUES_BUFFERED images are continuesly captured and put in a buffer.

enum	CaptureMode { M160x120 , M320x240 , M640x480 , M800x600 , M1024x768 , M1280x960 , M1600x1200 , MFORMAT7 }
	The resolution of the camera capture.

enum	Format7Mode { F7MODE0 , F7MODE1 , F7MODE2 , F7MODE3 , F7MODE4 , F7MODE5 , F7MODE6 , F7MODE7 }
	The resolution of the camera capture.

enum	TriggerMode { MODE0 , MODE1 , MODE2 , MODE3 , MODE4 , MODE5 , MODE14 , MODE15 }
	Modes of the camera, inspired by the DCAM standard modes.

enum	ErrorCode { SUCCES , FAILURE , NOT_INITIALIZED , NOT_STARTED , UNSUPPORTED_CAPTURE_MODE , UNSUPPORTED_FEATURE }
	error codes for a camera

Detailed Description

The Camera class defines a generel interface to a camera. A great deal of the interface resembles the DCAM standard since DCAM allready defines a very wide interface.

typical usage: Camera c; // setup camera features modes and so on c.initialize(); c.start(); // acquire images c.stop();
