我想在一个循环中多次启动一个功能,每次从相机获取并成像,然后将图像写入光盘,而无需循环等待此过程完成。因此,每次调用此函数时,它都会与启动该函数的循环并行运行,这样我就可以在此期间继续做其他对时间敏感的事情。
我已经制作了这个示例,该示例使函数的第一个“执行”与循环并行运行,然后第二次失败,因为我无法.start()两次。可以通过其他方式实现吗?
示例(原始帖子-更新如下)
import numpy as np
import threading
import time
def imacq():
print('acquiring image...')
time.sleep(1.8)
print('saved image...')
return
# Start image acqusition and writing to disc thread
imacq_thread = threading.Thread(target=imacq)
starttime = time.time()
sig_arr = np.zeros(100)
tim_arr = np.zeros(100)
image_cycles = 5
running = True
flag = True
for cycles in range(1,20):
print(cycles)
if cycles%image_cycles == 0:
if flag is True:
imacq_thread.start() # this works well the first time as intended
# imacq() # this does not work as everything is paused until imacp() returns
flag = False
else:
flag = True
time.sleep(0.4)
编辑:在西尔瓦斯反馈之后: 我已经制作了两种不同的版本来触发函数,最终将使用它们来确定驱动器的发送,存储和映像,以及与决定发送触发/执行函数的时间的主脚本并行。一个版本基于Sylvaus的答案(线程),而另一个版本则基于多重处理。
基于Sylvaus答案的示例(线程):
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
import time
from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor
def imacq():
print('taking image')
n = 10000
np.ones((n, n))*np.ones((n, n)) # calculations taking time
print('saving image')
return
sig_arr = np.zeros(100)
tim_arr = np.zeros(100)
image_cycles = 20
max_cycles = 100
freq = 10
cycles = 1
sigSign = 1
running = True
flag = True
timeinc = []
tic = time.time()
tic2 = tic
timeinc = np.zeros(max_cycles)
starttime = time.time()
with ThreadPoolExecutor() as executor:
while running:
t = time.time()-starttime
tim_arr[:-1] = tim_arr[1:]
tim_arr[-1] = t
signal = np.sin(freq*t*(2.0*np.pi))
sig_arr[:-1] = sig_arr[1:]
sig_arr[-1] = signal
time.sleep(0.00001)
# Calculate cycle number
sigSignOld = sigSign
sigSign = np.sign(sig_arr[-1]-sig_arr[-2])
if sigSign == 1 and sigSignOld != sigSign:
timeinc[cycles] = time.time()-tic
cycles += 1
print('cycles: ', cycles, ' time inc.: ', str(timeinc[cycles-1]))
tic = time.time()
if cycles%image_cycles == 0:
if flag is True:
# The function is submitted and will be processed by a
# a thread as soon as one is available
executor.submit(imacq)
flag = False
else:
flag = True
if cycles >= max_cycles:
running = False
print('total time: ', time.time()-tic2)
fig = plt.figure()
ax = plt.axes()
plt.plot(timeinc)
基于多重处理的示例:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
import time
from multiprocessing import Process, Value, Lock
def trig_resp(running, trigger, p_count, pt, lock):
while running.value == 1: # note ".value" on each sharedctype variable

trigger.value = 0 # reset trigger
tic = time.time()
# Do a calculation that takes a significant time
n = 10000; np.ones((n, n))*np.ones((n, n))
with lock:
pt.value = time.time() - tic # calculate process time
p_count.value += 1 # count number of finished processes
return

p_count = Value('i', 0) # process counter and flag that process is done
pt = Value('d', 0.0) # process time of latest finished process
lock = Lock() # lock object used to avoid raise conditions when changing "global" values.
p_count_old = p_count.value
p1 = Process(target=trig_resp, args=(running, trigger, p_count, pt, lock))
p1.start() # Start process
# A "simulated" sinusiodal signal
array_len = 50

tic = time.time()
tic2 = tic
timeinc = np.zeros(max_cycles) # Array to keep track of time used for each main loop run
starttime = time.time()
while running.value == 1:
time.sleep(0.00001) # mimics sample time (real world signal)
t = time.time()-starttime # local time

# Keeping the latest array_len values (FIFO) of t and signal.
tim_arr[:-1] = tim_arr[1:]
tim_arr[-1] = t
sig_arr[:-1] = sig_arr[1:]
sig_arr[-1] = signal
if p_count.value == p_count_old + 1: # process have finished
print('Process counter: ', p_count.value, 'process_time: ', pt.value)
p_count_old = p_count.value
# Calculate cycle number by monotoring sign of the gradient
sigSignOld = sigSign # Keeping track of previous signal gradient sign
sigSign = np.sign(sig_arr[-1]-sig_arr[-2]) # current gradient sign
if sigSign == 1 and sigSignOld == -1: # a local minimum just happened
timeinc[cycles] = time.time()-tic
cycles += 1
print('cycles: ', cycles, ' time inc.: ', str(timeinc[cycles-1]))
tic = time.time()
flag = 1
if cycles % im_int == 0 and flag == 1:
if cycles > 0:
if trigger_count > p_count.value:
print('WARNING: Process: ', p_count.value,
'did not finish yet. Reduce freq or increase im_int')
trigger.value = 1
trigger_count += 1
print('Trigger number: ', trigger_count)
flag = 0
if cycles >= max_cycles:
running.value = 0
print('total cycle time: ', time.time()-tic2)
# Print the process time of the last run
if p_count.value < max_cycles//im_int:
if p_count.value == p_count_old + 1:
print('process counter: ', p_count.value, 'process_time: ', pt.value)
p_count_old = p_count.value
print('total process time: ', time.time()-tic2)
fig = plt.figure()
ax = plt.axes()
plt.plot(timeinc)
我在Windows 10笔记本电脑上,因此时间安排(主while循环“正在运行...:”的每个循环中的时间增量)取决于计算机上正在发生的其他事情,但是该版本基于多处理似乎不如基于线程的敏感。但是,基于多处理的解决方案不是很优雅,我怀疑可以实现相同或更好的解决方案(更简单,更不容易犯错误)的更智能解决方案(一致的时间增量和较低的CPU负载)。
非常感谢您对改进这两种解决方案的任何反馈。

您可以使用Executor。这样,您只需提交您的任务,它们就会根据您使用的执行器的类型进行处理。
我不知道您的imacq
中有什么,因此您可能不得不尝试ThreadPoolExecutor
和ProcessPoolExecutor
来找出最适合您的应用程序的一个。
示例:
import numpy as np
import time
from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor
def imacq():
print('acquiring image...')
time.sleep(1.8)
print('saved image...')
return
starttime = time.time()
sig_arr = np.zeros(100)
tim_arr = np.zeros(100)
image_cycles = 5
running = True
flag = True
with ThreadPoolExecutor() as executor:
for cycles in range(1,20):
print(cycles)
if cycles%image_cycles == 0:
if flag is True:
# The function is submitted and will be processed by a
# a thread as soon as one is available
executor.submit(imacq)
flag = False
else:
flag = True
time.sleep(0.4)

您的采集设备,数据速率和数据量的细节似乎并不十分清楚,但我的印象是,问题在于您想要尽可能快地采集一个信号并想要捕获图像并只要该信号“有趣” 就会尽快写入磁盘,但不会延迟信号的下一次采集。
因此,似乎在主信号采集过程和图像捕获过程之间需要进行最少的数据交换。恕我直言,这建议在两个进程之间进行多处理(因此没有GIL)并使用队列(没有大量数据可供腌制)。
因此,我将研究这种类型的设置:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
from multiprocessing import Process, Queue, freeze_support
def ImageCapture(queue):
while True:
# Wait till told to capture image - message could contain event reference number
item = queue.get()
if item == -1:
break
# Capture image and save to disk
def main():
# Create queue to send image capture requests on
queue = Queue(8)
# Start image acquisition process
p = Process(target=ImageCapture, args=(queue,))
p.start()
# do forever
# acquire from DAQ
# if interesting
# queue.put(event reference number or filename)
# Stop image acquisition process
queue.put(-1)
p.join()
if __name__ == "__main__":
# Some Windows thing
freeze_support()
main()
如果ImageCapture()
进程无法跟上,请启动两个或多个。
在Mac上,我测量了队列中平均邮件传递时间为32微秒,并且对100万条邮件的最大延迟为120微秒。
