This is a cross-platform framework for building virtual cameras. Virtual cameras offer the same interface as regular cameras to client applications (such as Skype), but provide user-generated or user-modified imagery rather than imagery directly from a camera. While ucanvcam comes with a set of special effects, the main intent is to make building virtual cameras easier for people without OS-specific knowledge, so they can focus purely on image processing.

Elphel, Inc. was started in 2001 to provide high performance cameras based on free software and hardware designs. Freedom of the users of Elphel products is our top priority - we value and protect it with the GNU General Public License that covers all the Elphel software and hardware designs. This freedom extends from the convenience of the out-of-the-box usage of the cameras with the intuitive GUI to the possibility to modify any parts of them. It protects user right to create and distribute derivative products based on our designs, products that may be suitable for the applications we had never thought about ourselves.

Our goal is to create a powerful free and open cinema camera that we as filmmakers love to use. The idea of using an Elphel camera for this particular purpose was born in 2006, found many followers over the years and ultimately resulted in this community driven project entitled "Apertus" and this website.

Thermitrack is a unique tracking device which provides realtime high-resolution position data from people moving within its field of view. Through use of thermal imaging technology (sensing body heat), it is completely unaffected by any fixed or changing light sources, needs no illumination, and works equally well in conditions from darkness to daylight, making it the perfect sensing device for interactive lighting systems and any other application where reliable detection of the movement of people is required.

The Beta, tbeta for short, is a open source/cross-platform solution for computer vision and multi-touch sensing. It takes an video input stream and outputs tracking data (e.g. coordinates and blob size) and touch events (e.g. finger down, moved and released) that are used in building multi-touch applications. tbeta can interface with various web cameras and video devices as well as connect to various TUIO/OSC enabled applications and supports many multi-touch lighting techniques including: FTIR, DI, DSI, and LLP with expansion planned for the future (custom modules/filters).

NET develops and distributes video camera systems for the professional world market in the industrial, medical and scientific field.

libmv aims to be the first open source full-stack multiview reconstruction library. Eventually libmv will enable researchers around the world to avoid the drudgery of reimplementing many standard algorithms in multiview geometry; thus, they can focus on the implementation and evaluation of new algorithms.
