Overview

SunnyLens C++ library is a software controller for Sunny continuous zoom lenses. The SunnyLens library inherits Lens interfaces. It depends on libraries: Lens (provides interface and data structures to control lenses, source code included, Apache 2.0 license), Logger (provides function to print logs, source code included, Apache 2.0 license), SerialPort (provides functions to work with serial ports, source code included, Apache 2.0 license), SunnyLensParser (provides functions to encode control commands and decode responses from Sunny continuous zoom lenses, source code included) and AFEngine (provides auto focus functions, source code included). The SunnyLens library provides simple interface to be integrated in any C++ projects. The library doesn’t have third-party dependencies to be specially installed in OS. It developed with C++17 standard and compatible with Linux and Windows.

    void addVideoFrame(cr::video::Frame& frame) override;

    /// Decode and execute command.
    bool decodeAndExecuteCommand(uint8_t* data, int size) override;
};
}
}

getVersion method

The getVersion() method returns string of current version of SunnyLens class. Method declaration:

static std::string getVersion();

Method can be used without SunnyLens class instance. Example:

cout << "SunnyLens version: " << SunnyLens::getVersion() << endl;

Console output:

SunnyLens version: 1.0.5

openLens method

The openLens(…) opens serial port to communicate with Sunny lenses. If serial port already open the method will return TRUE. Lens parameters will be initialized by default. To initialize lens controller by set of parameters the initLens(…) method can be used. After successful initialization the library will run communication threads (thread to communicate with lens equipment via serial port). Method declaration:

bool openLens(std::string initString) override;

Parameter	Value
initString	Initialization string contains full serial port name, baudrate, timeout separated by “;”. Example: “/dev/ttyUSB0;115200;50”. Baudrate and timeout optional params and will be set by default by the library if not provided.

Returns: TRUE if the lens controller is initialized or FALSE if not.

initLens method

The initLens(…) initializes lens controller and sets lens params (Lens interface). The method will set given lens params and after will call openLens(…) method. After successful initialization the library will run communication threads (thread to communicate with equipment via serial port). Method declaration:

bool initLens(LensParams& params) override;

Parameter	Value
params	LensParams class object which includes all lens parameters. LensParams class includes initString which used in openLens(…) method. See description of LensParams class.

Returns: TRUE if the lens controller is initialized or FALSE if not.

closeLens method

The closeLens() closes serial port and stops all communication threads. Method declaration:

void closeLens() override;

isLensOpen method

The isLensOpen() method returns lens controller initialization status. Open status shows if the controller initialized (serial port open) but doesn’t show if controller has communication with lens equipment. For example, if serial port is open (opens serial port file in OS) but equipment can be not active (no power). In this case open status just shows that the serial port is open. Method declaration:

bool isLensOpen() override;

Returns: TRUE is the lens controller initialized or FALSE if not.

isLensConnected method

The isLensConnected() shows if the lens controller receives responses from equipment. For example, if serial port open but equipment not active (no power). In this case methods isLensOpen(…) will return TRUE but isLensConnected() method will return FALSE. Method declaration:

bool isLensConnected() override;

Returns: TRUE if the lens controller has data exchange with lens equipment or FALSE if not.

setParam method

The setParam(…) method sets new lens parameters value. SunnyLens provides thread-safe setParam(…) method call. This means that the setParam(…) method can be safely called from any thread. The lens controller checks if parameters ID and parameter value are valid and adds them to internal buffer. If parameter ID and parameter argument are valid the method will return TRUE but parameters may not be set (some params related only to lens controller but not lens hardware). Internal communication thread takes parameters (if parameters related to lens hardware) from internal buffer and send it to lens. Method declaration:

bool setParam(LensParam id, float value) override;

Parameter	Description
id	Lens parameter ID according to LensParam enum.
value	Lens parameter value. Value depends on parameter ID (LensParam enum).

Returns: TRUE if the parameter was set (accepted by lens controller) or FALSE if not.

getParam method

The getParam(…) method returns lens parameter value. SunnyLens provides thread-safe getParam(…) method call. This means that the getParam(…) method can be safely called from any thread. Method declaration:

float getParam(LensParam id) override;

Parameter	Description
id	Lens parameter ID according to LensParam enum.

Returns: parameter value or -1 of the parameters doesn’t exist (not supported).

getParams method

The getParams(…) method returns all lens parameters. SunnyLens provides thread-safe getParams(…) method call. This means that the getParams(…) method can be safely called from any thread. Method declaration:

void getParams(LensParams& params) override;

Parameter	Description
params	Reference to LensParams class object which includes all lens parameters.

executeCommand method

The executeCommand(…) method to execute lens action command. SunnyLens provides thread-safe executeCommand(…) method call. This means that the executeCommand(…) method can be safely called from any thread. The lens controller checks if command ID and command argument are valid and adds them to internal buffer. If command ID and command argument are valid the method will return TRUE but command may not be executed. Internal communication thread takes commands from internal buffer and send commands to lens. Method declaration:

bool executeCommand(LensCommand id, float arg = 0) override;

Parameter	Description
id	Lens action command ID according to LensCommand enum.
arg	Lens action command argument. Value depends on command ID (see description of LensCommand enum).

Returns: TRUE is the command was accepted by lens controller or FALSE if not.

addVideoFrame method

The addVideoFrame(…) method copies video frame data to lens controller to perform autofocus algorithm. To perform auto focus lens the controller calculates focus factor in auto focus ROI (focus factor can be obtained with getParam(…) method and parameters FOCUS_FACTOR, or with getParams(…) method). To calculate focus factor SunnyLens needs video frame, so to use auto focus functions the method addVideoFrame(…) must be called for each captured video frame. Method declaration:

void addVideoFrame(cr::video::Frame& frame) override;

Parameter	Description
frame	Video Frame object. The library support RAW pixel formats: BGR24, RGB24, GRAY, NV12, NV21, YU12, YV12, UYVY, YUYV and YUV24. Minimum width / height of video frame is 32. Maximum width / height of video frame is 8192.

decodeAndExecuteCommand method

The decodeAndExecuteCommand(…) method decodes and executes command on lens controller side. Method will decode commands which encoded by encodeCommand(…) or encodeSetParamCommand(…) methods of Lens interface class. If command decoded the method will call setParam(…) or executeCommand(…) methods. This method is thread-safe, so the method can be safely called from any thread. Method declaration:

bool decodeAndExecuteCommand(uint8_t* data, int size) override;

Parameter	Description
data	Pointer to input command. To generate input command you may use encodeCommand(…) and encodeSetParamCommand(…) static methods.
size	Size of command. Must be 11 bytes for SET_PARAM and COMMAND.

Returns: TRUE if command decoded (change parameter command or action command) and executed (action command or set param command).

encodeSetParamCommand method of Lens class

The encodeSetParamCommand(…) static method designed to encode command to change any remote lens parameter. To control a lens remotely, the developer has to develop his own protocol and according to it encode the command and deliver it over the communication channel. To simplify this, the Lens class contains static methods for encoding the control command. The Lens class provides two types of commands: a parameter change command (SET_PARAM) and an action command (COMMAND). encodeSetParamCommand(…) designed to encode SET_PARAM command. Method declaration:

static void encodeSetParamCommand(uint8_t* data, int& size, LensParam id, float value);

Parameter	Description
data	Pointer to data buffer for encoded command. Must have size >= 11.
size	Size of encoded data. Will be 11 bytes.
id	Parameter ID according to LensParam enum.
value	Parameter value.

encodeSetParamCommand(…) is static and used without Lens class instance. This method used on client side (control system). Example:

// Buffer for encoded data.
uint8_t data[11];
// Size of encoded data.
int size = 0;
// Random parameter value.
float outValue = (float)(rand() % 20);
// Encode command.
Lens::encodeSetParamCommand(data, size, LensParam::AF_ROI_X0, outValue);

encodeCommand method of Lens class

The encodeCommand(…) static method designed to encode lens action command. To control a lens remotely, the developer has to develop his own protocol and according to it encode the command and deliver it over the communication channel. To simplify this, the Lens class contains static methods for encoding the control command. The Lens class provides two types of commands: a parameter change command (SET_PARAM) and an action command (COMMAND). encodeCommand(…) designed to encode COMMAND command (action command). Method declaration:

static void encodeCommand(uint8_t* data, int& size, LensCommand id, float arg = 0.0f);

Parameter	Description
data	Pointer to data buffer for encoded command. Must have size >= 11.
size	Size of encoded data. Will be 11 bytes.
id	Command ID according to LensCommand enum.
arg	Command argument value (value depends on command ID).

encodeCommand(…) is static and used without Lens class instance. This method used on client side (control system). Encoding example:

// Buffer for encoded data.
uint8_t data[11];
// Size of encoded data.
int size = 0;
// Random command argument value.
float outValue = (float)(rand() % 20);
// Encode command.
Lens::encodeCommand(data, size, LensCommand::ZOOM_TO_POS, outValue);

decodeCommand method of Lens class

The decodeCommand(…) static method designed to decode command on lens controller side. o control a lens remotely, the developer has to develop his own protocol and according to it decode the command on lens controller side. To simplify this, the Lens interface class contains static method to decode input command (commands should be encoded by encodeSetParamCommand(…) or encodeCommand(…) methods). The Lens class provides two types of commands: a parameter change command (SET_PARAM) and an action command (COMMAND). Method declaration:

static int decodeCommand(uint8_t* data, int size, LensParam& paramId, LensCommand& commandId, float& value);

Parameter	Description
data	Pointer to input command.
size	Size of command. Should be 11 bytes.
paramId	Lens parameter ID according to LensParam enum. After decoding SET_PARAM command the method will return parameter ID.
commandId	Lens command ID according to LensCommand enum. After decoding COMMAND the method will return command ID.
value	Lens parameter value (after decoding SET_PARAM command) or lens command argument (after decoding COMMAND).

Returns: 0 - in case decoding COMMAND, 1 - in case decoding SET_PARAM command or -1 in case errors.

Serialize lens params

LensParams class provides method encode(…) to serialize lens params (fields of LensParams class, see Table 4). Serialization of lens params necessary in case when you need to send lens params via communication channels. Method doesn’t encode initString string field and fovPoints. Method provides options to exclude particular parameters from serialization. To do this method inserts binary mask (7 bytes) where each bit represents particular parameter and decode(…) method recognizes it. Method declaration:

bool encode(uint8_t* data, int bufferSize, int& size, LensParamsMask* mask = nullptr);

Parameter	Value
data	Pointer to data buffer.
size	Size of encoded data.
bufferSize	Data buffer size. Buffer size must be >= 201 bytes.
mask	Parameters mask - pointer to LensParamsMask structure. LensParamsMask (declared in Lens.h file) determines flags for each field (parameter) declared in LensParams class. If the user wants to exclude any parameters from serialization, he can put a pointer to the mask. If the user wants to exclude a particular parameter from serialization, he should set the corresponding flag in the LensParamsMask structure.

LensParamsMask structure declaration:

typedef struct LensParamsMask
{
    bool zoomPos{true};
    bool zoomHwPos{true};
    bool focusPos{true};
    bool focusHwPos{true};
    bool irisPos{true};
    bool irisHwPos{true};
    bool focusMode{true};
    bool filterMode{true};
    bool afRoiX0{true};
    bool afRoiY0{true};
    bool afRoiX1{true};
    bool afRoiY1{true};
    bool zoomSpeed{true};
    bool zoomHwSpeed{true};
    bool zoomHwMaxSpeed{true};
    bool focusSpeed{true};
    bool focusHwSpeed{true};
    bool focusHwMaxSpeed{true};
    bool irisSpeed{true};
    bool irisHwSpeed{true};
    bool irisHwMaxSpeed{true};
    bool zoomHwTeleLimit{true};
    bool zoomHwWideLimit{true};
    bool focusHwFarLimit{true};
    bool focusHwNearLimit{true};
    bool irisHwOpenLimit{true};
    bool irisHwCloseLimit{true};
    bool focusFactor{true};
    bool isConnected{true};
    bool afHwSpeed{true};
    bool focusFactorThreshold{true};
    bool refocusTimeoutSec{true};
    bool afIsActive{true};
    bool irisMode{true};
    bool autoAfRoiWidth{true};
    bool autoAfRoiHeight{true};
    bool autoAfRoiBorder{true};
    bool afRoiMode{true};
    bool extenderMode{true};
    bool stabiliserMode{true};
    bool afRange{true};
    bool xFovDeg{true};
    bool yFovDeg{true};
    bool logMode{true};
    bool temperature{true};
    bool isOpen{true};
    bool type{true};
    bool custom1{true};
    bool custom2{true};
    bool custom3{true};
} LensParamsMask;

Example without parameters mask:

// Encode data.
LensParams in;
in.logMode = 3;
uint8_t data[1024];
int size = 0;
in.encode(data, 1024, size);
cout << "Encoded data size: " << size << " bytes" << endl;

Example with parameters mask:

// Prepare params.
LensParams in;
in.logMode = 3;

// Prepare mask.
LensParamsMask mask;
mask.logMode = false; // Exclude logMode. Others by default.

// Encode.
uint8_t data[1024];
int size = 0;
in.encode(data, 1024, size, &mask);
cout << "Encoded data size: " << size << " bytes" << endl;

Deserialize lens params

LensParams class provides method decode(…) to deserialize lens params (fields of LensParams class, see Table 4). Deserialization of lens params necessary in case when you need to receive lens params via communication channels. Method automatically recognizes which parameters were serialized by encode(…) method. Method doesn’t decode fields: initString and fovPoints. Method declaration:

bool decode(uint8_t* data, int dataSize);

Parameter	Value
data	Pointer to data buffer.
dataSize	Size of data.

Returns: TRUE if data decoded (deserialized) or FALSE if not.

Example:

// Encode data.
LensParams in;
uint8_t data[1024];
int size = 0;
in.encode(data, 1024, size);
cout << "Encoded data size: " << size << " bytes" << endl;

// Decode data.
LensParams out;
if (!out.decode(data, size))
    cout << "Can't decode data" << endl;

Read params from JSON file and write to JSON file

Lens interface class library depends on ConfigReader library which provides method to read params from JSON file and to write params to JSON file. Example of writing and reading params to JSON file:

// Prepare random params.
LensParams in;
for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i)
{
    FovPoint pt;
    pt.hwZoomPos = rand() % 255;
    pt.xFovDeg = rand() % 255;
    pt.yFovDeg = rand() % 255;
    in.fovPoints.push_back(pt);
}

// Write params to file.
cr::utils::ConfigReader inConfig;
inConfig.set(in, "lensParams");
inConfig.writeToFile("TestLensParams.json");

// Read params from file.
cr::utils::ConfigReader outConfig;
if(!outConfig.readFromFile("TestLensParams.json"))
{
    cout << "Can't open config file" << endl;
    return false;
}

TestLensParams.json will look like:

Build and connect to your project

Typical commands to build SunnyLens library:

cd SunnyLens
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

If you want to connect SunnyLens library to your CMake project as source code, you can do the following. For example, if your repository has structure:

CMakeLists.txt
src
    CMakeList.txt
    yourLib.h
    yourLib.cpp

Create folder 3rdparty and copy folder of SunnyLens repository there. New structure of your repository:

CMakeLists.txt
src
    CMakeList.txt
    yourLib.h
    yourLib.cpp
3rdparty
    SunnyLens

Create CMakeLists.txt file in 3rdparty folder. CMakeLists.txt should be containing:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.13)

################################################################################
## 3RD-PARTY

    SET(${PARENT}_SUNNY_LENS                            ON  CACHE BOOL "" FORCE)
    SET(${PARENT}_SUNNY_LENS_TEST                       OFF CACHE BOOL "" FORCE)
    SET(${PARENT}_SUNNY_LENS_EXAMPLE                    OFF CACHE BOOL "" FORCE)
endif()

################################################################################
## INCLUDING SUBDIRECTORIES
## Adding subdirectories according to the 3rd-party configuration
################################################################################
if (${PARENT}_SUBMODULE_SUNNY_LENS)
    add_subdirectory(SunnyLens)
endif()

File 3rdparty/CMakeLists.txt adds folder SunnyLens to your project and excludes test applications and examples from compiling (by default test application and example excluded from compiling if SunnyLens included as sub-repository). The new structure of your repository will be:

CMakeLists.txt
src
    CMakeList.txt
    yourLib.h
    yourLib.cpp
3rdparty
    CMakeLists.txt
    SunnyLens

Next, you need to include the ‘3rdparty’ folder in the main CMakeLists.txt file of your repository. Add the following string at the end of your main CMakeLists.txt:

add_subdirectory(3rdparty)

Next, you have to include SunnyLens library in your src/CMakeLists.txt file:

target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} SunnyLens)

Done!

Simple example

A simple application shows how to use the SunnyLens library.

#include <chrono>
#include <iostream>
#include "SunnyLens.h"

int main(void)
{
    // Init lens controller.
    cr::lens::Lens* lc = new cr::lens::SunnyLens();
    if (!lc->openLens("/dev/ttyUSB0;115200;50"))
        return -1;

    // Get lens Zoom position
    std:: cout<< "Zoom pos: " <<
    lc->getParam(cr::lens::LensParam::ZOOM_POS) << std::endl;

    // Set Zoom speed to 10%.
    lc->setParam(cr::lens::LensParam::ZOOM_SPEED, 10);

    // Go to zoom position 65535 (Full tele).
    lc->executeCommand(cr::lens::LensCommand::ZOOM_TO_POS, 65535);

    // Show zoom movement (changing position).
    while (true)
    {   
        std:: cout<< "Zoom pos: " <<
        lc->getParam(cr::lens::LensParam::ZOOM_POS) << std::endl;
        std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::milliseconds(100)); 
    }
    return 1;
}
