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.
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.
Our goal is to write a robust driver for the Toshiba PDR-M4/5 digital cameras.
We currently have a working command-line program to graba all files from the camera, and gPhoto support is in the works.
