.. py:class:: ViamImage(data: bytes, mime_type: CameraMimeType)
A native implementation of an image.
Provides the raw data and the mime type.
.. py:property:: data
:type: bytes
The raw bytes of the image
.. py:property:: mime_type
:type: CameraMimeType
The mime type of the image
.. py:property:: width
:type: Optional[int]
The width of the image
.. py:property:: height
:type: Optional[int]
The height of the image
.. py:method:: bytes_to_depth_array() -> List[List[int]]
Decode the data of an image that has the custom depth MIME type ``image/vnd.viam.dep`` into a standard representation.
:raises NotSupportedError: Raised if the image is not of MIME type `image/vnd.viam.dep`.
:returns: The standard representation of the image.
:rtype: List[List[int]]
.. py:class:: DistortionParameters(*, model: str = ..., parameters: collections.abc.Iterable[float] | None = ...)
Bases: :py:obj:`google.protobuf.message.Message`
Abstract base class for protocol messages.
Protocol message classes are almost always generated by the protocol
compiler. These generated types subclass Message and implement the methods
shown below.
.. py:attribute:: model

.. py:property:: parameters
:type: google.protobuf.internal.containers.RepeatedScalarFieldContainer[float]
.. py:class:: IntrinsicParameters(*, width_px: int = ..., height_px: int = ..., focal_x_px: float = ..., focal_y_px: float = ..., center_x_px: float = ..., center_y_px: float = ...)
Bases: :py:obj:`google.protobuf.message.Message`
Abstract base class for protocol messages.
Protocol message classes are almost always generated by the protocol
compiler. These generated types subclass Message and implement the methods
shown below.

.. py:class:: Camera(name: str, *, logger: Optional[logging.Logger] = None)
Bases: :py:obj:`viam.components.component_base.ComponentBase`
Camera represents any physical hardware that can capture frames.
This acts as an abstract base class for any drivers representing specific
camera implementations. This cannot be used on its own. If the ``__init__()`` function is
overridden, it must call the ``super().__init__()`` function.

.. py:attribute:: API
:type: Final
The API of the Resource

.. py:method:: get_image(mime_type: str = '', *, extra: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None, timeout: Optional[float] = None, **kwargs) -> viam.media.video.ViamImage
:abstractmethod:
:async:
Get the next image from the camera as a ViamImage.
Be sure to close the image when finished.
NOTE: If the mime type is ``image/vnd.viam.dep`` you can use :func:`viam.media.video.ViamImage.bytes_to_depth_array`
to convert the data to a standard representation.
::
my_camera = Camera.from_robot(machine, "my_camera")
frame = await my_camera.get_image()
print(f"Frame: {frame}")
:param mime_type: The desired mime type of the image. This does not guarantee output type
:type mime_type: str
:returns: The frame.
:rtype: ViamImage
For more information, see `Camera component `_.
.. py:method:: get_images(*, timeout: Optional[float] = None, **kwargs) -> Tuple[List[viam.media.video.NamedImage], viam.proto.common.ResponseMetadata]
:abstractmethod:
:async:
Get simultaneous images from different imagers, along with associated metadata.
This should not be used for getting a time series of images from the same imager.
::
my_camera = Camera.from_robot(robot=machine, name="my_camera")
images, metadata = await my_camera.get_images()
first_image = images[0]
timestamp = metadata.captured_at
:returns: A tuple containing two values; the first [0] a list of images
returned from the camera system, and the second [1] the metadata associated with this response.
:rtype: Tuple[List[NamedImage], ResponseMetadata]
For more information, see `Camera component `_.
.. py:method:: get_point_cloud(*, extra: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None, timeout: Optional[float] = None, **kwargs) -> Tuple[bytes, str]
:abstractmethod:
:async:
Get the next point cloud from the camera. This will be
returned as bytes with a mimetype describing
the structure of the data. The consumer of this call
should encode the bytes into the formatted suggested
by the mimetype.
To deserialize the returned information into a numpy array, use the Open3D library.
::
import numpy as np
import open3d as o3d
my_camera = Camera.from_robot(robot=machine, name="my_camera")
data, _ = await my_camera.get_point_cloud()
# write the point cloud into a temporary file
with open("/tmp/pointcloud_data.pcd", "wb") as f:
f.write(data)
pcd = o3d.io.read_point_cloud("/tmp/pointcloud_data.pcd")
points = np.asarray(pcd.points)
:returns: A tuple containing two values; the first [0] the pointcloud data,
and the second [1] the mimetype of the pointcloud (for example, PCD).
:rtype: Tuple[bytes, str]
For more information, see `Camera component `_.
.. py:method:: get_properties(*, timeout: Optional[float] = None, **kwargs) -> Properties
:abstractmethod:
:async:
Get the camera intrinsic parameters and camera distortion parameters
::
my_camera = Camera.from_robot(robot=machine, name="my_camera")
properties = await my_camera.get_properties()
:returns: The properties of the camera.
:rtype: Properties
For more information, see `Camera component `_.
.. py:method:: from_robot(robot: viam.robot.client.RobotClient, name: str) -> typing_extensions.Self
:classmethod:
Get the component named ``name`` from the provided robot.
:param robot: The robot
:type robot: RobotClient
:param name: The name of the component
:type name: str
:returns: The component, if it exists on the robot
:rtype: Self
.. py:method:: do_command(command: Mapping[str, ValueTypes], *, timeout: Optional[float] = None, **kwargs) -> Mapping[str, ValueTypes]
:abstractmethod:
:async:
Send/Receive arbitrary commands to the Resource
::
command = {"cmd": "test", "data1": 500}
result = await component.do_command(command)
:param command: The command to execute
:type command: Mapping[str, ValueTypes]
:raises NotImplementedError: Raised if the Resource does not support arbitrary commands
:returns: Result of the executed command
:rtype: Mapping[str, ValueTypes]
.. py:method:: get_geometries(*, extra: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None, timeout: Optional[float] = None) -> List[viam.proto.common.Geometry]
:async:
Get all geometries associated with the component, in their current configuration, in the
`frame `__ of the component.
::
geometries = await component.get_geometries()
if geometries:
# Get the center of the first geometry
print(f"Pose of the first geometry's centerpoint: {geometries[0].center}")
:returns: The geometries associated with the Component.
:rtype: List[Geometry]
.. py:method:: get_resource_name(name: str) -> viam.proto.common.ResourceName
:classmethod:
Get the ResourceName for this Resource with the given name
::
# Can be used with any resource, using an arm as an example
my_arm_name = Arm.get_resource_name("my_arm")
:param name: The name of the Resource
:type name: str
:returns: The ResourceName of this Resource
:rtype: ResourceName
.. py:method:: get_operation(kwargs: Mapping[str, Any]) -> viam.operations.Operation
Get the ``Operation`` associated with the currently running function.
When writing custom resources, you should get the ``Operation`` by calling this function and check to see if it's cancelled.
If the ``Operation`` is cancelled, then you can perform any necessary (terminating long running tasks, cleaning up connections, etc.
).
:param kwargs: The kwargs object containing the operation
:type kwargs: Mapping[str, Any]
:returns: The operation associated with this function
:rtype: viam.operations.Operation
.. py:method:: close()
:async:
Safely shut down the resource and prevent further use.
Close must be idempotent. Later configuration may allow a resource to be "open" again.
If a resource does not want or need a close function, it is assumed that the resource does not need to return errors when future
non-Close methods are called.

await component.close()
