Sony PS3Eye Processing Library.

PS3Eye

A Java/Processing Library for the PS3Eye USB-Camera.

The library-core is mostly a Java-port of the PS3EYEDriver project.

The library initially developed by Thomas Diewald.

This fork adds a simpler API for using it with processing. Currently supported are frame rates up to 187 FPS with QVGA and 75 FPS with VGA resolution.

Controls

There are a lot of controls to be set. Here are the range and limits of the values:

Control	Default	Min	Max
Gain	20	0	63
Exposure	120	0	255
Sharpness	0	0	63
Hue	143	0	255
Brightness	20	0	255
Contrast	37	0	255
Blue Balance	128	0	255
Red Balance	128	0	255
Green Balance	128	0	255
Auto Gain	FALSE	FALSE	TRUE
Auto White Balance	FALSE	FALSE	TRUE
Flip Horizontal	FALSE	FALSE	TRUE
Flip Vertical	FALSE	FALSE	TRUE

Processing Example

This is an extended example for processing. It uses 120 FPS with the QVGA resolution.

import com.thomasdiewald.ps3eye.PS3Eye;
import com.thomasdiewald.ps3eye.PS3EyeCamera;

PS3EyeCamera cam;

public void settings(){
    size(640, 480);
    smooth(0);
}

public void setup(){
    frameRate(120);

    // create a camera
    cam = PS3EyeCamera.getDevice(this, 0, 120, PS3Eye.Format.RGB, PS3Eye.Resolution.QVGA);
    cam.start();

    // set AWB and auto gain
    cam.getPS3Eye().setAutoWhiteBalance(true);
    cam.getPS3Eye().setAutogain(true);
}

public void draw(){
    // display frame
    image(cam.getFrame(), 0, 0);
}

Installation, PS3Eye Driver

usb4java (based on libusb) is used to access PS3Eye USB-device.

So, to use the PS3Eye-Library you need to install the corresponding PS3Eye driver for your OS.

How_to_use_libusb_on_Windows

How i did it (Windows 10, x64)

1. plugin PS3Eye-USB-Camera
2. open the Device Manager and open Zadig
3. make sure no driver is installed (uninstall if necessary) and then use Zadig to install libus-win32
