Open Source C Digital Camera Software

gPhoto is a program and library framework that lets users download pictures from their digital cameras. The libgphoto2 library gives you access to hundreds of models of digital cameras on several platforms. GIT repo and Issue tracker lives at https://github.com/gphoto/ these days.

Luminance HDR is a complete suite for HDR imaging workflow. It provides a wide range of functionalities, during both the fusion stage and the tonemapping stage. Its graphical user interface, based on Qt5, runs on a variety of platforms, such as Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X 10.9 and later and several Unix flavors (Linux, FreeBSD and others). Input images can be supplied in multiple formats, from JPEG to RAW files. In the same way, output can be saved in many different formats as well, from JPEG to TIFF (both 8 bit and 16 bit per channel), enabling all the power of your post processing tools.

Most digital cameras produce EXIF files, which are JPEG files with extra tags that contain information about the image. The EXIF library allows you to parse an EXIF file and read the data from those tags. Development has moved to https://github.com/libexif/. See https://libexif.github.io for more details.

Linux printing, scanning, and photo-card access on most HP multi-function peripherals.

libiptcdata is a standalone C-library for reading and writing the International Press Telecommunications Council (IPTC) metadata contained in various data files such as images.

NOTE: We are moving this project to GitHub! Digital photographs are not ideal. Of course, the better is your camera, the better the results will be, but in any case if you look carefully at shots taken even by the most expensive cameras equipped with the most expensive lenses you will see various artifacts. It is very hard to make ideal cameras, because there are a lot of factors that affect the final image quality, and at some point camera and lens designers have to trade one factor for another to achieve the optimal image quality, within the given design restrictions and budget. But we all want ideal shots, don't we? :) So that's what's lensfun is all about - rectifying the defects introduced by your photographic equipment.

A new version of the popular raw digital images manipulator ufraw. Forks from the version 0.23 of ufraw (that's why the first nufraw version is the 0.24). Nufraw offers the same features (gimp plugin, batch, ecc) and the same quality of ufraw in a brand new improved user interface.

Remote control for Pentax DSLR cameras.

Library communicating with PTP enabled devices (digital photo cameras and so on).

Camscope is a multi-threaded program for acquiring and quantitatively analyzing images from an IIDC-compliant FireWire camera. It provides an integrated environment for performing quantitative video microscopy for teaching laboratories.

An unofficial dev kit for the PV2 camera. Currently includes v8 uRISC assembler, linker, and source examples. It can be used to create firmware patches and uploadable programs for the $10 and $20 Ritz/CVS "single-use" PV2 digital camera.

A command-line tool to download picturs and control still digital cameras based on Sierra Imaging chipset and compatibles (Olympus, Nikon, Epson, Agfa and some others).

QuickCam VC device driver for linux based on V4L V4L2 specifications.

Access a digital camera located on one computer from another over a local network or the Internet. Designed for use in thin client environments, specifically LTSP, but can be used in other types of installations as well.

MMPython is a Media Meta Data retrieval framework. It retrieves metadata from mp3, ogg, avi, jpg, tiff and other file formats. Among others it thereby parses ID3v2, ID3v1, EXIF, IPTC and Vorbis data into an object oriented struture.

The Open Digita Services project is an effort to write open-source tools for accessing Digita cameras from Linux and other unix operating systems.

There are popular tape device ArVid which based on ordinary (PAL/SECAM) VHS & ISA board with PLM which often used in Russia and xUSSR. ArVid board are controled by VHS behind integrated multisystem IRC node. I've coded raw driver for this device. Driver

A driver for the Winbond W9967CF and W9968CF webcam IC's and hence the Webcam go and variations on it. See the project home page for details. Note that this project is dead. If you want it, ask me (scarfboy).

Canon EOS class remote control utility for 300D, 350D, 30D, 20D and 5D. It is possible to control more of Canon cameras in the same time up to six cameras attached. Multican allows scripted remote control of multiple cameras.

Cross-platform open source software for astrophotography based on Qt and libgphoto2. Main target is ARM systems like Raspberry and OrangePi.

RawCA calculates lens chromatic aberration from a camera raw file. It works by searching for the largest correlation coefficient of different channels while resizing (stretch/shrink) the channels.

Coriander is a full-featured GUI for IEEE1394, IIDC-compliant digital cameras.

A simple commandline tool for downloading pictures, sound and movies from the Creative PC-CAM.

`capture` is a remote capture software currently designed around the Canon PowerShot digital cameras. It can be used interactively from the command-line, wrapped into a script or a GUI.
