Here is our current state of a (very minimal) high-level camera interface: [GitHub - IHPSystems/Cameras.jl: A Julia interface for cameras](https://github.com/IHPSystems/Cameras.jl)

It could be great if we could implement a common interface for various machine vision SDKs, e.g. Basler Pylon, PtGrey [Spinnaker](https://github.com/samuelpowell/Spinnaker.jl) (@samuelpowell) , Allied Vision [Vimba](https://gist.github.com/jtravs/ac92ab6dd184aafca1909246e4377485) (@jtravs) , Intel [RealSense](https://github.com/JuliaPerception/LibRealSense.jl) (@Gnimuc) etc.

We are working on a Julia interface for Basler Pylon.

We have been working on an async-friendly channel-like `take!`-method, and an iteration interface. We are also working on an abstract array interface for the values returned by `take!`: [https://github.com/IHPSystems/Cameras.jl/tree/feature/acquired\_image](https://github.com/IHPSystems/Cameras.jl/tree/feature/acquired_image)

Tests (examples) with a simulated camera are here: [https://github.com/IHPSystems/Cameras.jl/tree/feature/simulated\_camera](https://github.com/IHPSystems/Cameras.jl/tree/feature/simulated_camera)

The last two citations are showing a 404 error.

Would you mind providing some examples of package usage? Thanks.
