Re: [RFC] New task: science-dataacquisition
A whole area of science that depend on image analyses (from microscopic
to astronomics) might like to include different programs to control
cameras. Some ideas:
Firewire/IEEE1394 kernel modules, libraries and the coriander program.
Though I have the impression that this interface is currently under
transition and not working properly with the Linux kernel currently
included in Debian/Unstable:
http://ieee1394.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Juju_Migration
Anyhow the Firewire interface (and coriander) support many cameras.
Video4Linux: an apt-get search gave me a whole bunch of libraries and
applications, partly overlapping Firewire. Maybe only a part of it will
be sufficient.
Probably there is more for acquiring images from cameras available on
GNU/Debian, but I think this will cover the most important ones.
