Realsense Camera Capture Management

The Realsense Camera Capture Management software facilitates real-time image capture and saving from Realsense cameras using PyRealsense, OpenCV, and PIL. It supports multiple cameras and offers two main implementation methods with distinct functionalities and interfaces.

Features

• Real-time image capture using Realsense cameras.
• Supports multiple cameras simultaneously.
• Image saving functionality using OpenCV and PIL libraries.
• Two distinct implementation methods:
  • Web-based capture feature using Django (outdated and no longer maintained).
  • Desktop-based GUI application in Python.

Implementation Methods

Method 1: Django-based Web Application (Deprecated)

• This method is based on Django and allows users to capture images via a web interface.
• Limitations:
  • Does not support automatic alignment of depth cameras with corresponding RGB cameras.
  • Occasional freezing bugs.
  • This version is outdated and no longer maintained.

Method 2: Python-based GUI Application

• A standalone desktop application developed in Python.
• File Path: PythonUI/
• To Run the Application:

  sudo python3 ./PythonUI/start.py

Controls:

• q: Quit the application.
• b: Decrease the index of the current image by 1.
• n: Decrease the index of the current image set by 1.
• p: Start the next set of image captures.
• s: Capture and save images from all cameras at the current moment.

Upcoming Features

• Integration of UI buttons to complement keyboard operations, enhancing user interaction and accessibility.
