The brandnew OpenCV master version 3 has a lot of advantages. First to mention is the accessibility of the XiAPI parameters. Because XIMEA is still not supported by default in OpenCV, I provide you here the necessary files as a zip file.
I still love my Python 2.7.x environment, thus I aimed to compile the OpenCV package for Python 2.7.x. Thus, I used Visual Studio C++ Express 2010, the Windows SDK 7.1 and CMake, similar to my previous post. I just built plain OpenCV with the WITH_XIMEA option to enable XIMEA camera support. Please be aware that the following package is for Python 2.7 64 bit!
Download here my package: cv2_3.0.0_for_Python27
All files in the container except of opencv_ffmpeg300_64.dll go to the following directory: C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages ; the latter goes to the main C:\Python27 directory. After copying the files you may check the version using the following code snippet in Python:
import cv2 print cv2.getBuildInformation()
Then, somewhat like this should appear:
General configuration for OpenCV 3.0.0 ===================================== Version control: unknown Platform: Host: Windows 6.1 AMD64 CMake: 3.3.0 CMake generator: Visual Studio 10 2010 Win64 CMake build tool: C:/WINDOWS/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v4.0.30319/MSBuild.exe MSVC: 1600 ... XIMEA: YES ...
And here are the special XIMEA XiAPI functions available through OpenCV v3:
for param in dir(cv2): if "XI" in param: print param # CAP_PROP_XI_AEAG # CAP_PROP_XI_AEAG_LEVEL # CAP_PROP_XI_AE_MAX_LIMIT # CAP_PROP_XI_AG_MAX_LIMIT # CAP_PROP_XI_AUTO_WB # CAP_PROP_XI_DATA_FORMAT # CAP_PROP_XI_DOWNSAMPLING # CAP_PROP_XI_EXP_PRIORITY # CAP_PROP_XI_GPI_LEVEL # CAP_PROP_XI_GPI_MODE # CAP_PROP_XI_GPI_SELECTOR # CAP_PROP_XI_GPO_MODE # CAP_PROP_XI_GPO_SELECTOR # CAP_PROP_XI_LED_MODE # CAP_PROP_XI_LED_SELECTOR # CAP_PROP_XI_MANUAL_WB # CAP_PROP_XI_OFFSET_X # CAP_PROP_XI_OFFSET_Y # CAP_PROP_XI_TIMEOUT # CAP_PROP_XI_TRG_SOFTWARE # CAP_PROP_XI_TRG_SOURCE # CAP_XIAPI
