Receiving Images With newProcessedImage Function in pycaster.py Example

MarkWijkhuizen commented 9 months ago

Dear Clarius Support,

After connecting to the Clarius probe using the pycaster.py example with the correct IP address and port all commands seem to work, except the stream action.

# Output after successfully connecting to the Clarius probe
initialization succeeded
connected to 192.168.1.1 on port 37425
press (q)->quit (a)->action (s)->stream (p)->param change: s

The newProcessedImage function is never called for reasons unknown to me.

How could I stream the images on the PC and save them as PNG?

def newProcessedImage(image, width, height, sz, micronsPerPixel, timestamp, angle, imu):
    print(f'newProcessedImage called!') # <- this line is never printed
    bpp = sz / (width * height)
    if printStream:
        print(
            "image: {0}, {1}x{2} @ {3} bpp, {4:.2f} um/px, imu: {5} pts".format(
                timestamp, width, height, bpp, micronsPerPixel, len(imu)
            ),
            end="\r",
        )
    if bpp == 4:
        img = Image.frombytes("RGBA", (width, height), image)
    else:
        img = Image.frombytes("L", (width, height), image)
    img.save("processed_image.png")
    return

Thanks in advance for any help!

Are you on a Windows system? If so, ensure your firewall has an exception for the python executable, or temporarily disable the firewall.

I added an inbound and outbound rule for the Python executable allowing any connection, however, the images are still not streamed.

Which firewall rules should be added to make the streaming work?

Maybe try a full disable temporarily to see if that helps, suggest removing your Internet connection beforehand

Adding the inbound and outbound rules and completely disconnecting from WiFi before worked for me on my Windows machine.

Happy to hear someone got it to work on Windows. Could you provide the details of your inbound and outbound rules so I could reproduce you configuration?
