3 Smartek GigEVisionSDK Library

The SMARTEK Vision GigEVisionSDK provides a set of tools, guides and samples, useful for the configuration
and image acquisition from GigE Vision cameras, as well as the integration into own software applications.
The GigEVisionSDK library consists of 4 basic parts:
Smartek Filter Driver - SMARTEK Vision provides its own filter driver to ensure optimal performance
of the digital camera. This driver is compliant to the GigE Vision standard. It separates incoming
packets containing image data from other traffic on the network, optimizing the image data flow from
the camera to the software.
GigEVisionClient - The GigEVisionClient is an as binary and source available sample application,
which contains and utilizes the whole function set available by the GigEVisionSDK API in an intuitive
graphical user interface. Besides displaying images grabbed from the cameras, it provides graphical
access to e.g. multiple cameras, their configuration and available post processing functions.
GigEVisionSDK API - The GigEVisionSDK offers an application programming interface (API) for
for Gigabit Ethernet Vision (GigE Vision) cameras. It supports the programming languages C/C++,
Delphi, C# and VB .NET, and allows an easy integration of a SMARTEK Vision camera in own software
applications.
ImageProc API - The ImageProc API extends the basic camera functionality, provided by the GigEVisionSDK
API, by color and post processing functions like e.g. debayering, gamma, look-up table (LUT) and
color correction algorithms. All programming languages supported by the GigEVisionSDK API are
supported by the ImageProc API as well.
