XiLens /ksɪlɛns/
The XiLens application allows you to connect to all XIMEA cameras and record images to highly optimized n-dimensional
arrays that can be post-processed at high speed.
Application features
- Compatible with all XIMEA cameras: spectral, RGB & gray cameras
- Highly optimized data storing at video-rate: n-dimensional arrays
- Multi-instance run for recordings with multiple cameras in parallel
- Long-term stability, tested for recordings of 24 hours at over 20 fps
- Camera temperature logged automatically during recording
- Compatible with Linux systems
- Automatic tests of non-UI components through google tests

Acknowledgments
Data compression is possible in this application thanks to the BLOSC2 team.
The dark amber theme used for this application is a modified version of qt-material.
The command line interface used in this application was provided by CLI11.
The user interface was designed using Qt.
The tests were developed using GoogleTest.
Many image processing operations are internally performed through OpenCV.
Remarks
The XiLens library is only supported in Linux systems, although all dependencies are also available in Windows systems, compilation in such systems has not been properly tested.
Funding
This project has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (grant agreement No. [101002198]).
