gst-plugins-vision, a library for machine vision camera interfaces

[Josh Doe]

I've mentioned this a few times over the past few years, but thought
I'd let the community know that I've created a set of plugins for
interfacing with machine vision camera interfaces. This includes
interfaces like Camera Link, CameraLink HS, CoaXPress, GigE Vision,
HSLink, LVDS, USB3 Vision, as well as more mainstream interfaces like
analog (NTSC, PAL, RS-170, RS-343), DVI, FireWire IIDC1394, HDMI, and
SDI. Manufacturers represented include Active Silicon, BitFlow, EDT,
EPIX, Euresys, IDS, IMPERX, Matrox, National Instruments, and Teledyne
DALSA. Most of these require physical hardware such as a PCIe
framegrabber, however some like NI and Matrox support GigE Vision and
USB3 Vision using the expected interfaces but will require a license
to use.

You can find the source here:

And I also provided Windows binaries:

Many of these plugins should also work on Linux without much effort,
though I've not tried building any of them for years so I'm sure
there'd be some work. Of course on Linux I'm sure Aravis does a better
job at GigE Vision and USB3 Vision, and even better are open source.

The quality of the plugins varies considerably, as I'm the only one
working on them and some plugins get more attention than others. I'm
sure the community interested in these plugins is rather small but
wanted to bring it everyone's attention.

Thanks,
