Visualizing the images from himax camera.

[PCPJ]

Hello everyone. I would like to know if there is a good and easy way to retrieve the images being captured from the camera. I would like to see the captured image, and the model output from that image. There is a way to send the image thought USB for example? I think it is a silly question, but I don't have much experience with this kind of hardware. Any help is welcome. Thank you so much.

@PCPJ hi, You can reference LAB1_capture_image example under the below repository. https://github.com/HimaxWiseEyePlus/bsp_tflu/tree/master/HIMAX_WE1_EVB_example/scenario_app/workshop_example

About seeing the captured image:

• Step1: The easy way is to use our PC_TOOL_Linux, you can download here.
• Step2: please key-in following command on console.

  chmod 777 PC_TOOL_Linux

• Step3: Install FT4222 linux driver: You can reference the user guide here to download and install FT4222 linux driver.
• Step4: Then you will see the captured images on the PC and just need to connect by the USB cable. The more detailed introduction about this tool you can reference the below example. https://github.com/HimaxWiseEyePlus/WE_I_Plus_User_Examples/tree/main/HIMAX_Yolo_Fastest_Person_Detection_Example

If you want to see the model output, you can reference the SPI TOOL code (https://github.com/HimaxWiseEyePlus/bsp_tflu/tree/master/SPI_Tool#spi-tool-for-receive-meta-data-and-images-from-himax_we1_evb) and change it to receive meta data which you define yourself for your own model output from Himax WE-I.
