Can I/how do I record video footage using the Intel Euclid and save it on my PC?

I am looking to record a short (10 second) piece of video footage so I can use it for an object detection research project. What is the procedure to record and save videos using the Intel Euclid?

All of the Intel Euclid development team members that I know of have left Intel for other companies since Euclid's release, so answering some of the more technical questions about Euclid can be difficult. I will try to provide you with some guidance though based on my own knowledge of it.

 

Euclid has the ability to set up 'Scenarios' to run a collection of program 'nodes' in a certain way in order to produce a desired outcome. It is essentially a way to create a program without having to write all the code yourself. Below is a link to a tutorial video for creating new Scenarios for Euclid.

For example, Euclid has a pre-made 'Camera' node for running the cameras. This node is referenced in a pre-made Scenario program called 'Cameras' that runs two nodes, 'Camera' and 'Depth Transcode'. With this Scenario, you can view the cameras by navigating to Euclid's "Monitor" tab and turning the cameras on.

 

The principles of how Euclid uses ROS nodes is described on page 9 of the Euclid operating manual.

Whilst you may be able to view the camera streams using a Scenario, the next challenge to overcome may be to record those streams, if the Camera node does not already provide the ability to do so. At this point I can only offer speculation as I have not used Euclid directly. If I were approaching this problem myself though, I would try editing the pre-made 'Cameras' Scenario to add a ROS node package that can perform camera recording. You can research ROS packages for doing this recording task by googling for 'ros node record camera'

 

I apologize that I could not give more definitive, certain guidance than this. Good luck!
