Aravis is a C library based on GLib/GObject for video acquisition from Genicam-compliant industrial cameras, implementing GigE Vision and USB3 Vision protocols. It also includes a GStreamer plugin, a simple GTK video viewer, and an ethernet camera simulator.
Use cases
- acquire video from GigE Vision industrial cameras in C
- capture frames from USB3 Vision cameras on Linux
- integrate Genicam cameras into a GStreamer pipeline
- simulate a Genicam ethernet camera for testing
- build machine vision applications with open-source camera control
When to choose
- you need a free, cross-platform library for Genicam/GigE/USB3 camera acquisition
- you want GStreamer integration for industrial camera streams
- you're building machine vision software in C or with GObject introspection bindings
When to avoid
- you need a high-level GUI application rather than a library
- your camera is not Genicam-compliant (e.g. plain webcams via UVC)
- you need official vendor SDK features like proprietary camera tuning tools
