Interfacing uEye+ cameras with IDS peak and vision software

Area scan cameras

This video explains how to interface IDS uEye+ cameras using both machine vision software and the IDS peak SDK (Software Development Kit). You’ll learn how to get started quickly, which tools and APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) are available, and how to choose the right workflow for your application. The session highlights the advantages of vision‑compliant cameras and demonstrates how IDS peak simplifies setup, configuration, and programming.

You’ll see how uEye+ cameras integrate seamlessly with HALCON, LabVIEW, and other vision environments, as well as how to use IDS peak for straightforward camera control, image acquisition, and basic image processing. The video also walks through a practical Python demo that covers device discovery, parameter loading, image streaming, debayering, displaying, and saving. Finally, you’ll get an outlook on the upcoming IDS peak C API and its new convenience functions.
