How To Use

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/northvolt/go-sapera"

func main() {
	fmt.Println("Initializing SaperaLT...")
	sapera.Init()

	fmt.Sprintln("Running go-sapera %s with Sapera SDK %s", sapera.Version(), sapera.SDKVersion())
	fmt.Sprintln("Detected %d boards", sapera.GetServerCount())
}

For an example of how to capture frame data, please see examples/capture/main.go

Why it exists

Computer vision applications written in Go can easily take advantage of multi-core concurrency while also having access to packages such as GoCV (https://gocv.io). The go-sapera package now makes is possible for Go programs to connect to cameras and line scanners that are generally used for industrial applications.
