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
