How-to use IDS peak SDK for autofocus and image processing

Discover the capabilities of the IDS peak SDK (Software Development Kit) and learn how to implement autofocus in your machine vision applications. This video explains the structure of IDS peak, its key components, and how they simplify camera integration and image processing tasks.

You’ll see a practical C++ code example using the AFL (Auto Feature Library) to realise autofocus with a liquid lens camera. Learn how to configure algorithms, define regions of interest, and optimise performance using IDS peak tools and libraries. Whether you’re working on industrial automation or custom vision projects, this guide provides everything you need to get started.
