File Info Application

This application allows you to get information about a RAW or HDF5 event file including

  • Duration

  • Data encoding type

  • Camera info: sensor generation, ID, serial number

  • Number of events, first and last timestamps, average event rate

The source code of this application can be found in <install-prefix>/share/metavision/sdk/driver/apps/metavision_file_info when installing Metavision SDK from installer or packages. For other deployment methods, check the page Path of Samples.

Expected Output

The application reads a file and prints information about the file and its data to the console.

Here is an example of the outcome:

How to start

You can directly execute pre-compiled binary installed with Metavision SDK or compile the source code as described in this tutorial.

To start the pre-compiled executable, provide the full path to a file (here, we use a file from Metavision Datasets):

Linux

metavision_file_info -i 80_balls.hdf5

Windows

metavision_file_info.exe -i 80_balls.hdf5
