Sonic-snap enables Linux users to easily use their sn9c102 camera based devices. This project simplifies the process of accessing and utilizing these cameras.
Some of the excellent features included with sonic-snap are histogram analysis, normalization, ppm captures, and realtime mpeg encoding. These features combine to allow you to take high-quality photos and videos effortlessly.
Sonic-snap was tested using the Sweex Minicam, a compact and affordable webcam with a size similar to a 50 eurocent coin. Due to its compact design, the Sweex Minicam may be an excellent choice for use as a robotics camera. Additionally, if you get sonic-snap working with any other webcam that runs on the sn9c102 chip from Sonix, send the developer a snapshot! The developer can be reached at bram@ sara.nl.
To get started with sonic-snap, you'll need to have FLTK and FAME already installed on your system. These requirements, however, are minimal.
There have been some updates to sonic-snap as well. One update improved the normalization feature by making it work more effectively on isolated extremes. Another update investigated an assertion failure caused by a buggy videodev2.h. Furthermore, the failure of VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL was made non-fatal. With all of these updates in place, sonic-snap is a powerful tool for any Linux user looking to take high-quality photos and videos with their sn9c102 based camera!
