Zivid.NET Namespace

Manager class for Zivid cameras. Handles connection to cameras and configuration of the log system. Creating an instance of `Application` allocates memory which won't be collected until you manually invoke `Dispose()` (or use `using`). Creating a second `Application` instance before the previous `Application` instance has been manually disposed will trigger an exception.

Settings used when capturing with a Zivid camera

Settings for a single acquisition

List of Acquisition objects

When Diagnostics is enabled, extra diagnostic information is recorded during capture. This extra information is included when saving the frame to a .zdf file, and will help Zivid's support team to provide better assistance. Enabling Diagnostics increases the capture time and the RAM usage. It will also increase the size of the .zdf file. It is recommended to enable Diagnostics only when reporting issues to Zivid's support team.

Experimental features. These settings may be changed, renamed, moved or deleted in the future.

Settings related to processing of a capture, including filters and color balance

Color settings

Color balance settings

Experimental color settings. These may be renamed, moved or deleted in the future.

Tonemapping settings.

Filters

Experimental filters. These may be renamed, moved or deleted in the future.

Corrects artifacts that appear when imaging scenes with large texture gradients or high contrast. These artifacts are caused by blurring in the lens. The filter works best when aperture values are chosen such that the camera has quite good focus. The filter also supports removing the points that experience a large correction.

Correction

Removal

Contains a filter that removes points with low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)

Discard points with signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) values below a threshold

Contains a filter that removes points with large Euclidean distance to neighboring points

Discard point if Euclidean distance to neighboring points is above a threshold

Contains a filter that removes points likely introduced by reflections (useful for shiny materials)

Discard points likely introduced by reflections (useful for shiny materials)

Smoothing filters

Gaussian smoothing of the point cloud

Settings used when capturing 2D images with a Zivid camera

Settings for a single acquisition

List of acquisitions. Note that the Zivid SDK only supports a single acquisition per capture in 2D mode.

Option for downsampling

Set the Zivid Vision Engine to use. The Phase Engine is the current default Zivid Vision Engine. The Stripe Engine uses anti-reflection technology to suppress interreflection artifacts and improve data quality on shiny objects like cylinders and chrome-plated parts. Additional acquisition and processing time are required for the Stripe Engine. The Stripe Engine is currently experimental, and may be changed and improved in the future.

This setting controls when tone mapping of colors is performed. Tone mapping will normalize the captured color image to the full available output range by applying a gain factor to the colors. For single-captures this can be used to brighten dark images. For HDR captures this is required to map high-dynamic-range colors to the more limited dynamic range output. This setting has two possible values. `Always` will perform tone-mapping for all captures. `HdrOnly` will perform tone mapping for HDR captures but not for single-captures. It is not possible to disable tone mapping for HDR captures.
