Flir camera only starting after Spinview

rogerartigaspursals commented 3 years ago

I have succesfully integrated aravis with Baumer and Sentech USB3 cameras. Recently, I started to work with a Flir Camera, model BFS-U3-16S2. The camera is recognized, but no images are streamed neither, on arv-viewer or my software. After executing SpinView from FLIR, the camera works, and it can stream in arv-viewer and my software.

I have gone through all the installation process, and the aravis.rules files.

Any suggestion to avoid goring through the SpinView everythime I restart the computer?

Just for additional information: I’m using a Jetson Xavier NX.

This is the output after executing "arv-camera-test -d all" just after restarting the Jetson (Still no Spinview executed)

Hi Roger,

Thanks for the report.

Could you checkout this branch:

https://github.com/AravisProject/aravis/tree/issue/492%2Fcheck-stream-enable

And attach the output of arv-camera-test -d all:3 before and after spinview please ?

Hi Emmanuel

Here is the output with this version. Something strange is happening: the output of the file is very large. After executing the arv-camera-test for the first time, the output of the file is very large. After executing spinview, the camera is neither recognized. I need to remove the USB cable to restart the camera and execute the Spinview to recognize the camera.

Without the -d all:3 command line, the output is much smaller 😂 Looking for the first available camera vendor name = FLIR model name = Blackfly S BFS-U3-16S2M device id = 20497219 image width = 1024 image height = 1024 horizontal binning = 1 vertical binning = 1 payload = 1048576 bytes exposure = 2051 µs gain = 0 dB uv bandwidth limit = 380000000 [0..500000000]

0 frame/s - 0 MiB/s (before Spinview) 135 frames/s - 142 MiB/s (after Spinview)

With the arv-camera-test -d all:3 command, the output is

Thanks for the informations, but the output is to much truncated to be really useful. Unfortunately, I did not spot anything obvious in what you sent.

The last thing we can try is a capture of the USB data using wireshark. A capture of aravis before and after spinview, as well as during spinview could may be help to find what is missing or wrong in aravis.

rogerartigaspursals commented 3 years ago

Hi Emmanuel

I have no idea about wireshark. I will spend sometime learning how to install and get data from it. If I find the solution I will post it.

Regards Roger

eusebi commented 3 years ago

Hi, rogerartigaspursals, have you found a solution to this problem ? I am running into the same problem and any hint is appreciated

rogerartigaspursals commented 3 years ago

Hi Eusebi,

No, I’m sorry. I could not find a solution for it. I decided to change the programming library from Aravis to FLIR-Spinnaker to be able to use the camera.

Regards Roger

boilerbots commented 2 years ago

I can say that I have been using Aravis with BlackFly USB3 cameras for years and they do start and will work if you configure them properly, however if you program any registers outside of their "legal" values you can lock up the camera or get garbage out. The cameras can be recovered using a script such as this:

arv-tool-0.6 | while read -r line; do
    serial=`echo $line | awk '{print $1}'`
    echo "Resetting $serial"
    arv-tool-0.6 -n $serial control DeviceReset=1
done

timohueser commented 1 year ago

I'm running into the same problem on the Jetson Orin developement Kit, using a Flir BlackFly S camera. LibUSB times out during the call to libusb_bulk_transfer as soon as I try to acquire images from the camera. This happens both in the arv-viewer and the 02-multiple-acquisition.c from the aravis-c-examples. Interestingly I sometimes get few frames to show up before it times out, but this happens irregularly and most of the time it's just a single frame. The issue completely goes away as soon as the camera is initialized using the Spinnaker SDK. All that is needed is a call to the init() function of the camera thorugh the Spinnaker SDK and Aravis starts streaming the images as expected.

This issue does not occur when I use the exact same camera on my Ubuntu 22.04 desktop PC, so I suspect the problem is Jetson/ARM related. I tried examining the USB traffic between the camera and the host using wireshark, and the traffic looks identical on my desktop and the Jetson Orin. I also tried upgrading libUSB to the newest release (1.0.26) without any luck.

One last thing that might be worth noting is that even after the image streaming gets stuck on the timeout all camera settings are still accessible and get applied to the camera correctly. I tried a bunch of combinations of framerates, pixel formats and resolutions, all with pretty much the same result. Very small resolutions (16x16 in Mono8) did stop the libusb_bulk_transfer function from timing out, but there were still no images transferred to the buffers.

I would really appreciate any help or suggestions!

EmmanuelP commented 1 year ago

Hi Timo,

Like I said in https://github.com/AravisProject/aravis/issues/492#issuecomment-803639754 , some wireshark captures would help to understand the issue.

timohueser commented 1 year ago

Hi Emmanuel,

I will try to do some captures this afternoon! Since I'm new to using wireshark, what format (e.g. csv or raw capture etc.) is most useful to you? And do I need to configure it in any special way to give you the data you need?

Thanks for your help!

timohueser commented 1 year ago

Hi again,

Here is a collection of Wireshark captures:

02-multiple-acquisition: Running the example from the aravis-c-examples, both with and without having the cameras initialized using the Spinnaker SDK (success/fail respectively).
arv_camera_test: Running the arc-camera-test utility, both with and without having the cameras initialized using the Spinnaker SDK (success/fail respectively). I also included the logs produced at debug level 3, like you suggested in an earlier comment.
FLIR_Spinview_Init: Capture during launch of the SpinView software and selecting the camera in the camera list. This is enough to initialize the camera and make it work with aravis.
FLIR_Minimal_Init_Deinit: Capture of the Spinnaker SDK being used to init and deinit the camera. No settings are changed on the cameras and no Acquisition is started. This also is sufficient to make the camera work with aravis afterwards.
FLIR_Acquisition_Example: Capture of the unedited Acquisition sample from the Spinnaker SDK as a refernce.

I hope this is helpful, please let me know if you need anything else. Wireshark_Captures.zip

timohueser commented 1 year ago

Some additional observations I made this weekend:

Using the asynchronous mode (e.g. with --usb-mode=async in arv-camera-test) makes it to work for 1000-10000 frames, after which the framerate abruptly drops to 0. Curiosuly there are no libusb errors reportet in the async mode, it just silently stops working. After initializing the camera using the Spinnaker SDK it works indefinitely, both in sync and async mode.
It seems like the only write command that the Spinnaker API issues over the U3V protocoll to the camera during the init() call is setting the EI_Control register. As far as I can tell the value it sets is the default value that camera is initialized with anyways, so this should have no effect. The only other non-parameter-related thing I could spot are some URB_BULK transfers to interface 3 of the camera (this interface is not used with aravis as far as I can tell). I have no idea what these do though and if they are related to the problem at all.
To make sure it the Spinnaker init() call changes the configuration on the camera, and not some USB related settings on the jetson itself I tried powering the camera externally, initializing it with the Spinnaker SDK on a second computer and then plugging it into the Jetson. And indeed this has the same effect as initializing it on the Jetson directly, so whatever the Spinnaker SDK does it has to be related to the camera itself.

If anyone has any suggestions on what else I could try to troubleshoot this please let me know!

EmmanuelP commented 1 year ago

Hi Timo,

Thanks for the capture. In the FLIR_Spinview_Init.pcapng file, I have noticed this command:

No. Time    Source  Destination Protocol    Length  Info

        Address: 0x0000000000028000 [EI_Control]
        Event Interface Control: 1

Which enables device events. Aravis does not implement event support yet, and does nothing about them. I'm not sure how this command could make aravis work though.

timohueser commented 1 year ago

Hi Emmanuel,

Thanks for looking through the captures! I tried adding the EI_Control command to aravis in the _bootstrap method and confirmed that it issues the same write command as the Spinnaker SDK using wireshark. Unfortunately it has no effect on the behaviour of the camera. Do you thin the issue could still somehow be related to device events?

Another thing I noticed is that I also get LIBUSB_ERROR_IO errors when I change the length parameter in the libusb_bulk_transfer call that is responsible for reading the frame data from the camera (as far I can tell). This is just a wild guess, but could it be that the camera sends some packets with a length different from the expected one?

I also contacted the FLIR support about the issue in the hopes of getting some more info about what happens during the Spinnaker init() call. I'll update this issue if I get any more info.

Just a wild guess but try disable USB3 low power mode on ports and hubs that you connect the FLIR cameras to.

@timohueser Have you found the solution to this spinview magic initialization ? This detail still plagues our code...
