Lumenera Camera Software Development Kit (LINUX)

v2.4.11

    Teledyne Lumenera Camera Software Development Kit (LINUX)

    This latest version of the Lumenera Camera Software Development Kit (SDK) for Linux includes updates to support the latest additions to the Lt Series Cameras. For details, please refer to the Release Notes included with the installation package.

    The Lumenera Camera SDK for Linux is built with embedded systems in mind contains lightweight libraries for both camera control and image acquisition. The small-footprint SDK is a simplified, user-level API for accessing features and streaming images with Teledyne Lumenera USB3 cameras. The API provides easy migration between the LuCam SDK for Windows and Lumenera Camera SDK for Linux.

    We recommend choosing long-term support (LTS) Linux distributions for machine vision applications. Long term support guarantees that critical system updates are available to ensure system stability.

    An example of long-term support distribution:

    • Ubuntu: Released every two years. Starting with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, versions receive five years of support.

    Supported Hardware Platforms

    The framework supports both Desktop/Server systems and Embedded Systems. There are currently 4 CPU architectures supported:
