<p>Dear all,</p>
<p>we (TIGERs Mannheim) have recently put some hands on the
SSL-Vision code. Nicolai added the neural network color
calibration plugin which was previously an extra download and also
a C++11 high precision timer. According pull-requests have already
been created on github (username g3force).</p>
<p>I have added camera support for Matrix-Vision BlueFox2 cameras.
These are USB2.0 cameras used quite a lot in research environments
for computer-vision. Resolution 752x480, up to 93fps. They come
with a custom API and do not rely on the clumsy V4L image path. I
have successfully run two of these cameras at 93fps on an Intel
NUC with an i5 processor. Especially for new teams these cameras
are a real alternative, they are cheaper than Firewire cameras
(around 300€) and you also don't need to mess around with Firewire
cards/cables.<br>
I have fully integrated these cameras into SSL-Vision, including
almost all tunable camera parameters. Support for this camera is
automatically compiled in if the Matrix-Vision mvImpact library
has been found on your system. Otherwise, this support is silently
disabled. Readme has been extended with according instructions.<br>
An according pull-request was created by me (username
asctec-andre) already two months ago.</p>
<p>Since the creation of these pull-requests there were no comments,
no actions have been taken by the SSL-Vision maintainers. To
address this issue, I would like to offer my support for
maintaining the SSL-Vision. It would be great if one of the
current maintainers can grant me write access to the vision repo
(username asctec-andre). Then I can check/test the pull-requests
and eventually address other open issues as well.</p>
<p>Best regards,</p>
