i use pylon 5. Is this the problem?

Hi there,

I checked some similar issues, but I didn't find a solution for my problem. When it gets to mex on the make file, the error message is
"??? Error using ==> mex at 207
Unable to complete successfully"

with a possible hint before the error message saying

" C:\PROGRA~1\MATLAB\R2008A\BIN\MEX.PL: Error: Unrecognized switch: -std=c++0x."

I checked all the arguments for mex (flags{:},libraries{k,3},ipaths,lpaths,libraries{k,2}) and they seem alright (k =2). I'm supposing the problem is in ipaths and lpaths. This is what mex is receiving from both:

ipaths =

-I"C:\Program Files\Basler\pylon 4\pylon\include" -I"C:\Program Files\Basler\pylon 4\genicam\library\CPP\include" -I"C:\Program Files\boost\boost_1_60_0"
lpaths =

-L"C:\Program Files\Basler\pylon 4\pylon\lib\Win32" "C:\Program Files\Basler\pylon 4\genicam\library\CPP\Lib\win32_i86" "C:\Program Files\boost\boost_1_60_0\stage\lib"

In terms of directories, the paths should be fine. Is it missing some space between -I and "C:..." ?
Thanks!

Hello,

I've found your files and I'm trying to use them with my Basler acA1920-25um camera. Following the fact that you have developed this for pylon4 that's what I've installed and also I got boost 1.55 After a while of struggling I got to the point where your make.m file finally finds pylon files properly, however i think there is a problem with the boost.

First of all in your make file , in libraries paths, the boost one has addition of 'stage\lib', but there is no such a path in this folder. I tried to change it for 'libs' but this fails as well. Where should this point to?

what i'm getting now while running the make file is this (sorry - very long):

I don't know if that's something I'm doing wrong or... could you please have a look?
(btw - I'm using Matlab 2015a, 64 bit)

Thank you!

Dear Mr. Badertscher
I'm a German Student working on a project to design an app which is supposed to do a live-PIV.
Used is the camera: Basler acA1300-200um

Now as I was designing the interface i noticed that i have problems with the baslerSetParameter() function in matlab. All other functions work perfectly on my computer as far as i can see.
It's possible to set boolean parameters to 1 but not back to 0.
If the option verbose is active, the output always tells me that the parameter is being set to 1. There's no difference between typing 1 or 0, the result is always 1. I tried logical(0),logical(false), ~1 and boolean(0).
My command looks like this:
baslerSetParameter(0,'ReverseX',logical(0),1)

Output:
Using camera "acA1300-200um"
Set Parameter "ReverseX" to 1

Have you got any idea where this problem comes from or how to solve it? If you are interested in the project I'm more than happy to tell you about it. For the project i use the Pylon Viewer 4.
Thank you very much in advance.

Greetings
Florian Huber

Hi,

I'm trying to get your software to work, since it is exactly what I'm looking for. Unfortunately, I can't get the Boost to install properly. The installation instructions are basically so vague that I have no clue what to do after downloading it. The bootstrapper gives an error and the b2 file isn't even in the installation package (I'm assuming the bootstrapper should have created it)

Do you know of a detailed installation guide for Boost? I already looked for help using Google and the Boost website, but I couldn't find one.

The bootstrapper error: " 'cl' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. " <-- I have no clue what that means or how to solve it.

I am trying to build, configured msvc, but still get this error. Any hints? Using R2015b.

Followed all the directions for installation of C++ compiler, BOOST, and even tried the guide provided here: https://github.com/Lansbergen/BaslerCamDriver_Installation_Tutorial_Windows_7

The build process errors out when it is almost finished creating all the functions. Command window output shows:

Not sure what to do to fix it, since I'm an amateur at all of this, but I'd really like to use my new Basler cam in MATLAB.

Hi,

I followed through the installation guide until the last compilation step. And it gave me the following error message:
fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'pylon/PylonIncludes.h': No such file or directory

It seems to be missing a header file. I am wondering how I can resolve this issue.

Thanks,
Kevin

According to @smwasser it would be helpful to be able to simultaneously capture a video and have the preview to watch an experiment.

Is this possible? Probably something based on baslerPreview.m, which saves the image using MATLAB. This will probably be too slow for high frame rates -- maybe better a C++ implementation based on baslerSaveData.cpp?

Hi, for a project I need to enable the acquisition in response to external triggers and I have Pylon5. Are there any recommendations for this? Does the driver work with the newest Pylon versions and can triggers be enabled without problems? Thanks!

Parse and verify the types and values of input parameters better, so no unclear error messages can appear.

Hi folks,

I can't get the Basler driver compiled on my system. Please help!
This is what I have done so far: I have downloaded Boost 1.55.0 and Pylon 4.2 . Since boost does not compile on my system (don't know why), I downloaded the precompiled binaries and supposed that the binaries are in the folder "lib64-msvc-10.0" (there is no folder stage/libs in my Boost folder). Hence I changed in the make script the line with "stage/libs" to "lib64-msvc-10.0". No effect. The linker paths to the pylon stuff are correct. Any ideas?

Here is the Matlab output:

In the lib paths, the make file uses the x64 versions. It would be better to check if the system is 32bit or 64bit and compile accordingly.

I have set up boost and pylon 4, and defined all the env variable but I have this strange thing that the compiler won't find header files that are specified within a header file via

#include <pylon/PylonInclude.h>,

even thought "pylon/PylonInclude.h" is in the include paths via the -I option. Changing

#include <pylon/PylonInclude.h>

into

include "fullpath/pylon/PylonInclude.h"

works, but of course, I don't want to change all the header files. There seems to be a similar question to this on Stack Overflow and this one on Mathworks, however, no solutions are presented. There must be something I am missing, such as setting C++ global variables or similar, so any help is appreciated!

Here is the minimal code I use to debug the issue:

libraries = {  'basler_helper', 'basler_set_get.cpp',      '-c';      ...
               'private',  'baslerGetRawCameraParams.cpp', '';       ...
            };
ipaths = [  '-I' fullfile(getenv('PYLON_ROOT'),'include') '-I' fullfile(getenv('PYLON_GENICAM_ROOT'),'library\CPP\include') '-I' fullfile(getenv('BOOST_ROOT'))]
lpaths = [  '-L' fullfile(getenv('PYLON_ROOT'),'lib\x64') '-L' fullfile(getenv('PYLON_GENICAM_ROOT'),'\library\CPP\Lib\win64_x64') '-L' fullfile(getenv('BOOST_ROOT'),'stage\lib')];
flags = {   '-largeArrayDims',...
            'CXXFLAGS=$CXXFLAGS -std=c++0x -fpermissive -fPIC -DNDEBUG', ...
            ... '-g', ...      % debug symbols
            ... '-v', ...      % verbose
        };

mex(flags{:},libraries{1,3},ipaths,lpaths,libraries{1,2})

Hi,

Recently I have been trying to set up a Basler USB3.0 camera, and I encountered a problem with the TriggerMode parameter: it cannot be set as ‘On' for data acquisition. To be specific, the TriggerMode parameter can be set as ‘On’ using either the baslerSetParameter function or the Pylon software (the status of the parameter is verified in Pylon). However, once the baslerGetParameter function or the baslerGetData function or the baslerSetParameter function (setting up other parameters) is applied to the camera, this TriggerMode parameter would automatically be ‘Off’. Besides, other parameters such as ‘Width’ and ‘PixelFormat’ work fine with all the functions above.

My naive guess would be that the camera initialization overwrites some settings, but couldn't figure out why and where it is. Would you have any suggestions? Thanks a lot!

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your library to access Basler cameras.

I tried to compile under Linux with Pylon v.4 and v.5. In both cases I had the following error:

basler_set_get.cpp: In function ‘double BaslerHelper::get_float(Pylon::CInstantCamera*, const char*, bool)’:
basler_set_get.cpp:94:57: error: conversion from ‘GenICam::gcstring’ to non-scalar type ‘std::__cxx11::string {aka
std::__cxx11::basic_string}’ requested
std::string s_result = p_parameter->ToString();

Do you have any idea of what I am doing wrong here?

Thank you for your help,

L Denis

Hi! thank you for your contribution.

Do you happen to have pylon x64 version 4?
Currently, only version 5 is available on Basler download page.

All the best,
Bega

Hi,

does this driver support for setting up the external trigger function of the camera? I'd like to use it in Matlab, but need the ability to trigger the camera.

Thanks!

BaslerHelper::capture_images does not handle color images correctly! To be verified with a Color camera.

I guess this one is due to C++11 ?

But I dont know how to solve either.

I also have VisualStudio 2015 Community (not professional), but I am not sure if Matlab mex can run with this.

some error: D:\Program Files\Basler\pylon 5\Development\include/pylon/Platform.h:127:5: error: #error Unsupported platform.
if it is about the version of pylon ? because i use pylon 5 rather than pylon 4 due to i cann't install the older version.

Hello,

When multiple cameras are connected, it seems to read the indices of the cameras in an complete arbitrary manner, for example, if 3 cameras are connected, when I set the parameter for camera 2:
baslerSetParameter(2, 'ExposureTimeAbs', 1000)
then I want to check the parameter I just set: baslerGetParameter(2,'ExposureTimeAbs','double')
It will randomly return the parameter of one of the three cameras.

I think that getting the cameras by its DeviceSerialNumber would work, unfortunately, I'm not quite familiar with C++, could you offer some suggestions? @HBadertscher

Thanks a lot!

Hello,

Could you please help me set BOOST_ROT to the root directory?

Thank you

Hi,

I am having some problems compiling, I get this error:
Error using mex
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_filesystem-vc100-mt-1_62.lib'

I am using pylon 4 and Windows 7 .

Do you have any idea what can be the problem here?

Many thanks,
Mihai

For 8-bit images, it is possible to save the video as .avi file. This might be more convenient in some cases.

Add an optional parameter to baslerSaveData which will save the data as .avi

Hey guys,

currently i'm working on an engineering project where i want to use the Matlab_BaslerCamDriver package offered for the Basler USB 3.0 cams.
Some further informations about the steps and the setup done by myself in the last days:

• Basler cam model: Baser acA4024-29um
• MATLAB ver R2017b installed under path C:\program\MATLAB\R2017b...
• Pylon ver 4 installed under path C:\program\Basler\pylon 4...
• Boost ver 1.55.0 for x64 with lib64-msvc-10.0 installed under C:\boost_1_55_0...
• installed Windows .Net framework 4
• installed Windows SDK 7.1
• installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x64 (+x86) Redistributable 10.0.30319 (also checked that the ammintrin.h is set correctly in the Visual Studio 10.0\vc\include folder).
• make.m: changed line 45 to --> ' ','"',fullfile(getenv('BOOST_ROOT'),'lib64-msvc-10.0'),'"', ...
• baslerGetParameter.cpp: changed line 13 to --> enum ParamType {
• in MATLAB under Home --> Set Path included all folders with subfolders for the offered Camera Driver package, Boost folders, Pylon folders, Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0 folders
• used MATLAB command mex -setup c++ and it worked correctly so the MEX is configured to use the Microsoft Windows SDK 7.1 (C++) compiling method
• tried to use MATLAB command make for compiling the make.m-file but got the following error messages:

>> make

Actually i don't have any idea how to fix this.
Hope somebody is able to help me out with this error messages.
Thanks in advance!!!!

Hi,

I'm having some issue with the speed of the preview, it looks like the camera opens and closes for each frame of the preview.
When I want to get data from more than 1 frame, the time looks way shorter in comparison :

For instance here with 1 and 10 frames.

tic
baslerGetData(0,1,'Mono8');
toc
Elapsed time is 2.733215 seconds.

tic
baslerGetData(0,10,'Mono8');
toc
Elapsed time is 3.343008 seconds.

I need to watch the camera view in real time, with a better speed than one frame every 3 seconds.
Do you have any of how I can do ?

Thanks

Hoi Mr Badertscher,

Thank you for providing a way to access Basler cameras through Matlab.

I downloaded the entire package on my Matlab 2017b and tried to compile it using the "make" command. I get an error as follows:

>> make
=> Creating Libraries
Building with 'Xcode Clang++'.

Please inform me as to how can I go about rectifying this and getting the whole package successfully compiled and use the APIs as I would like them.

Best,
