Re: [luau] Digital Camera with Linux
Does anyone have, or know anyone who has, experience in operating a digital camera with Linux (e.g., downloading images, connecting smartcard/compact flash adaptors, editting images, etc.)? http://gphoto.sourceforge.net/ is a good peice of software for getting images. --Ray
Re: [luau] Digital Camera with Linux
Not only thatgphoto supports a cli interface so that you can use cron to take pictures and download them from the camera over any time period you wantvery useful...gphoto also supports multiple cameras on the USB interface so that you could possibly also have several camera arranged in a pattern and have then shoot at basically the same timethen an image stitcher will allow for timed panaroma images to be taken While not terribly useful for security, it's really cool for time lapse photographyif you wanna see what gphoto can do...take at look at my project web site at: http://www.pods.hawaii.edu and look at the camerasthese images were done with a nikon coolpix800 from linux boxes. We've now got them running on the familier distro on the compaq ipaq.. /brian chee University of Hawaii ICS Dept Advanced Network Computing Lab 1680 East West Road, POST rm 311 Honolulu, HI 96822 808-956-5797 voice, 808-956-5175 fax - Original Message - From: Ray Strode [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 10, 2002 10:18 AM Subject: Re: [luau] Digital Camera with Linux Does anyone have, or know anyone who has, experience in operating a digital camera with Linux (e.g., downloading images, connecting smartcard/compact flash adaptors, editting images, etc.)? http://gphoto.sourceforge.net/ is a good peice of software for getting images. --Ray ___ LUAU mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://videl.ics.hawaii.edu/mailman/listinfo/luau
[luau] Digital Camera with Linux
When the X86-64 Hammer begins to roll out this fall, if the price is not too steep, I'll be interested in getting one, placing it at a limitedly accessible place (e.g., George's house in Kailua), so that we may be able to develop localized expertise in Linux-based workstations specifically designed for digital photography. (For those who want to participate, just bring your own pluggable hard disc.) I have noticed that in less than a year's time, the entry-level digital camera resolution has moved from 2 MB to 3 MB. With continuous breakthroughs in flash memory technology, we should see further increases in picture resolution. Five or ten MB may not seem much, but when you begin to add layers, etc., a digital picture can easily baloon to hundreds of megabytes. (A friend of mine told me that he has begun to deal with files in the GB range!) This is an area where the 64-bit Linux/Unix will really dwarf Microsoft Windows. For very obvious reasons, Hawaii may be the best place to develop a special expertise in digital photography. (Read: we may have a very viable market here.) Perhaps we can put together an optimized digital photography workstation (for sale, that is).
Re: [luau] Digital Camera with Linux
I've been using jphoto with my kodak DX-3900 and love the speed and simplicity. It's much simpler to plug the USB cable into the camera and run jphoto than it is to remove the compact flash card, place it in an adapter and mount it as a device. Very quick and easy. -Jeff On Tue, 10 Sep 2002, W.
