cxSoftware Development Kit
Automation Technology´s Software Development Kit (cxSDK) is free of charge and allows the
programmatically access and control of all type of compact sensor and further the usage of the
3D calibration.
The cxSDK provides a C-based application-programming interface (API) with language wrappers
for C++, C#, Python, Matlab and Octave.
The cxSDK consists of the cxCam and cx3d library.
The cxCam library provides functions for discovering and enumerating connected devices via the
GEV standard as well as the camera configuration, image acquisition and event handling.
The cx3d library provides functions for intrinsic and extrinsic calibration models to transform the
height images (range maps) from the camera to 3D point cloud images or rectified images.
For more information about the handling and the integration of the
cxSDK, please refer to the documentation and to various example
programs contained in the cxSDK.
