Lumenera(r) USB Camera Interface

Lucam is a Python library that provides two interfaces to the Lumenera(r) LuCam API:

• API, a low level ctypes interface to the lucamapi.dll or liblucam.so version 6, exposing the definitions/declarations found in the lucam.h C header.
• Lucam, a high level object interface wrapping most of the ctypes interface, featuring exception based error handling and numpy.array type images.

Notes

"Lumenera" is a registered trademark of Teledyne Lumenera (1).

Lucam is slowly being revived to add support for more camera types and host platforms.

Lucam has been tested with the Lu165M monochrome camera on Windows, and Lt29059 on Linux.

Some LuCam API functions are not available in the Lucam wrapper due to lack of documentation or hardware for testing.

Naming of functions, methods, and constants that have an equivalent in the LuCam API follows the LuCam API conventions, else PEP8 is followed.
