Running IDS uEye camera at mono12 format using .NET Interface

Hi

I am trying to run IDS uEye camera at mono 12 format using .NET Interface, but I am having troubles.

it seems that it can take the picture from the camera (cam.Acquisition.Freeze(true) gives success) but it fails to copy the image from the RAM (cam.Memory.CopyToArray(img.ID) gives INVALID_PARAMETER). In mono8/raw8 it works just fine.

In addition, it seems that the cam.Acquisition.Freeze(true) command is working intermittently.

Does anybody know how to fix it?

This is the simple code I tried:

try char(cam.Exit)
catch
    disp('Could not close camera');
end

clear all
close all

% Add NET assembly if it does not exist
% May need to change specific location of library
asm = System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies;
if ~any(arrayfun(@(n) strncmpi(char(asm.Get(n-1).FullName), ...
        'uEyeDotNet', length('uEyeDotNet')), 1:asm.Length))
    NET.addAssembly(...
        'C:\Program Files\IDS\uEye\Develop\DotNet\signed\uEyeDotNet.dll');
end

% Create camera object handle
if ~exist('cam', 'var') || isempty(cam)
 cam = uEye.Camera();
end

% Open 1st available camera
% Returns if unsuccessful
if ~cam.Device.IsOpened
 if ~isequal(cam.Init(), uEye.Defines.Status.Success)
  error('Could not initialize camera');
 end
end

% Set colormode to 12-bit RAW
if ~isequal(cam.PixelFormat.Set(uEye.Defines.ColorMode.Mono12), ...
  uEye.Defines.Status.Success)
 error('Could not set pixel format');
end

% set camera pixel clock to match mono12 format
if ~isequal(cam.Timing.PixelClock.Set(80), ...
  uEye.Defines.Status.Success)
 error('Could not set pixel clock');
end

% Set trigger mode to software (single image acquisition)
if ~isequal(cam.Trigger.Set(uEye.Defines.TriggerMode.Software), ...
  uEye.Defines.Status.Success)
 error('Could not set trigger format');
end

% Allocate image memory
[ErrChk, img.ID] = cam.Memory.Allocate(true);
if ~isequal(ErrChk, uEye.Defines.Status.Success)
 error('Could not allocate memory');
end

% Obtain image information
[ErrChk, img.Width, img.Height, img.Bits, img.Pitch] ...
 = cam.Memory.Inquire(img.ID);
if ~isequal(ErrChk, uEye.Defines.Status.Success)
 error('Could not get image information');
end

% Acquire image
if ~isequal(cam.Acquisition.Freeze(true), ...
  uEye.Defines.Status.Success)
 error('Could not acquire image');
end

% Extract image
[ErrChk, tmp] = cam.Memory.CopyToArray(img.ID); 
if ~isequal(ErrChk, uEye.Defines.Status.Success)
 error('Could not obtain image data');
end

% Reshape image
img.Data = reshape(uint16(tmp), [img.Width, img.Height, img.Bits/8]);

% Draw image
% himg = imshow(img.Data, 'Border', 'tight');
himg = imagesc(img.Data);

% Acquire & draw 100 times
if ~exist('N', 'var') || isempty(N)
 N = 20;
end

for n=1:N
 % Acquire image
 if ~isequal(cam.Acquisition.Freeze(true), ...
   uEye.Defines.Status.Success)
   warning('Could not acquire image');
 end

 % Extract image
 [ErrChk, tmp] = cam.Memory.CopyToArray(img.ID); 
 if ~isequal(ErrChk, uEye.Defines.Status.Success)
  error('Could not obtain image data');
 end

 % Reshape image
 img.Data = reshape(uint8(tmp), [img.Width, img.Height, img.Bits/8]);

 % Draw image
 set(himg, 'CData', img.Data);
 drawnow;
end
 

% Close camera
if exist('NoExit', 'var') && ~isempty(NoExit) && NoExit
 return;
end

if ~isequal(cam.Exit, uEye.Defines.Status.Success)
 error('Could not close camera');
end
