/* $Id$ */ oct.2009 [ ] remove last outlet of [#] when it's irrelevant, and don't have a $2 in that case, and don't check type of r in that case. [x] rename "cv." prefix to "cv/#" [ ] matju: anyway, in #-help.pd, object [doc/numop] is still error [ ] [@convolve] and stuff can't handle [args] that come out as grid literals and have to become setter messages. PFOAC/BNL 2009 [ ] randomise positions and send offsetted text after choosing a position [ ] store bboxes [ ] [#interval_overlap] [ ] script python 0.9.5 [ ] bug in line rendering causes one pixel to be off by one pixel at the end of many linesegments. ([#draw_polygon] with hpgl) [ ] put_at is lacking some checks for number-of-dims, causing segfault. [ ] strange problem with [#import] when input size doesn't match output size and object is recreated [ ] reintroduce set_mode(0) [ ] get rid of architecture.html [ ] support "get" in abstractions [ ] fix [nbx]<->[hsl] relationship in [#camera] [ ] bugs roman [ ] add claude's fixes [ ] other gf mails in inbox [ ] #line_to_polygon is buggy [ ] #draw_polygon init_lines() not sufficiently called [ ] regular dc1394 options [ ] irregular dc1394 options: white_shading, white_balance trigger_mode? trigger, trigger_delay [ ] Accumulation of Background Statistics [x] correction/détection de translations dans l'image (avec fft et #remap_image). [ ] cvEstimateRigidTransform [ ] compenser pour les ajustements progressifs ou soudains de luminosite [x] ajouter detection et correction d'interference par fft [ ] cvEllipse [ ] cvApproxPoly pour un seul poly à la fois [ ] cvMeanShift (?) [ ] cvCamShift (?) Ça s'utilise presque comme MeanShift, sauf que ça requiert un autre type non-grid. Celui-ci peut être représenté comme une grid de 5 éléments pour faire plus facile (contrairement à cvHistogram, qui contient une grid ND mais a besoin de quelques fields de plus que ça). [ ] cvCalcBackProject (?) [ ] cvCalcHist, cvCreateHist. [ ] on doit aussi commencer à rajouter des types non-grid. Le premier sera CvHistogram et est requis pour tous les objets dont le nom contient "Hist". [ ] SnakeImage (what is the concept of 'energy', squared luminosity?) J'aurais supposé que oui, mais c'est juste trois mesures reliées à trois forces qui "shapent" la courbe: espacement égal des points, réduction des angles, et correspondance avec l'image même (qui doit normalement être un edge-detect d'une image plus vieille). [ ] cvOpticalFlow whatever version [ ] [cv.split] [ ] reestablish 'gzfile' feature in a better way. (gzfile is disabled for now) [ ] ... [ ] [fps]: translate into pd: "publish if fps>0.001" (to remove outliers) [ ] conversion from float to int is inconsistent: when to round and when to trunc? [ ] reimplement negative indices in [listelement] and [listsublist] [ ] with pwc, 720x480 crashes [ ] fix SDL modifiers [ ] fix quoting in [display] soon: * remove reference.*ml * videodev.c should be upgraded to V4L2 asap. +-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+------- Common Video Framework : [ ] a common library for all video IO (cameras, files, web), which is the project of Thomas H and Johannes. [ ] a six-way converter for GEM/PDP/GridFlow. There are already converters between GEM and PDP and between GEM and GridFlow but there is none between PDP and GridFlow and then some things could be easier to install and run in a cross-platform way. [ ] a way to make GEM/PDP/GF conversions *implicitly* instead of having objects for that. [ ] threads for video? [ ] GEM geos vs 3DP: how do they compare? [ ] is there anything else deserving to be unified between the video plugins? [ ] videojack [ ] http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/ [ ] distinguish between C++ types Grid* and GridFlow* [ ] make [#draw_points] [#draw_rect] [#edit_polygon] [ ] Salsaman recommends supporting Videojack because of unicap support which means getting DV support for free. [ ] look at camorama [ ] OpenCV [ ] Generic Image Library: http://opensource.adobe.com/gil/html/giltutorial.html [ ] [for] has a bug in "from". [ ] #out x11 doesn't accept 0-sized grids [ ] #print doesn't accept 0-sized grids [ ] #inner doesnt support seeds of size>1, and isn't vecop-compatible, and ... [ ] #inner could optimise permutation matrices? ClaudiusMaximus matju: [#draw_image] inlet 0 method "op " is undocumented, but very useful :) ClaudiusMaximus matju: [unix_time] is maldocumented, outlet 0 is a grid Dim[28](uint8), not a symbol [ ] update doc [ ] claude wants http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham_scan malloc alignment = 4 mod 8 (en utilisant valgrind) ClaudiusMaximus matju: feature request: [#store4], behaves like store but accepts grids of floats as coordinates and interpolate using 4-point interpolation, eg, right inlet -> (3 3 f # 0 0 0 1 1 1 2 4 8), left inlet -> (1 # 0.5) outputs (0.5 0.5 0.5) (or whatever the interpolation would really be), left inlet (2 # 1.5 1.5) outputs (3) http://oprofile.sourceforge.net/about/ also: qprofile, amd profiler, opreport -cl --demangle=smart [ ] -ftree-vectorizer-verbose [ ] try removing or modifying -falign on PPC/OSX [ ] encoding of quicktime RGBA only works with [#cast b] (is that still true?) [ ] reading tux.tga is completely broken [ ] install of libquicktime is very wrong on my system (is it 0.9.8?) [ ] make example on separable convkernels [ ] add concepts of hot inlet and conf inlet at the code level [ ] [display] should use clocks to update tk less often [ ] [display] leaks in server ? [ ] deprecation warnings [ ] Add a video latency patch (in examples) [ ] Numop: warn on misalignment [ ] remove GridInlet* ?

[ ] look into -ftree-vectorize [ ] look at Tetra Piccolo capture cards, as well as ImpactVCB (Hauppauge) [145] "list -1"->[@import] only tells error message once every other time [144] small leak remaining in x11. may have to do with non-use of XDestroyImage. [140] is [@convolve] actually cross-convolution? that is, convolves with a mirror image of the convolution matrix. [139] [peephole] matju: if you try to move the GOPed abstraction the peepholes don't move along he :) better yet, the abstraction's bounding box's lower right corner will not move up or to the left of the low right corner of the peephole it contains. Instead it will resize itself as you move it around. [134] #import with zero size crashes? [133] numop ** can freeze GF [117] osx: [#store] crash instead of raising [107] MMX computations may be done misaligned, which may be bad. [105] when file not found, mpeg error messages are wrong, they say the filename is "". [102] osx: error: shmget failed (cannot allocate memory) in X11, for regular pictures [078] "unsupported codec" bogus errors. [025] format_grid: write test for other bpv's [030] FormatGrid: not properly tested (crashes sometimes) [031] stdout should be redirected if bridge is present [034] format/mpeg3.c,quicktime.c might cause lockup on exit [038] some seeds aren't typechecked [039] jpeg file cat crashes on second file (jpeglib buffering?)

[090] http://poynton.com/notes/colour_and_gamma/ColorFAQ.html#RTFToC30 [041] what would be a way to make GF work well with Pd's idea of a list? [045] write unit tests about required functionality [046] write unit tests about error checking [047] make system to ensure everything is working before a release. [048] potential issues between fork() and X11 ? [054] it's possible to crash by sending data in two inlets of a same object at once --- make the development process more test-driven: * file every feature request and bug report into base/test.rb so that gridflow fails those tests THEN make gridflow pass those tests. =================== Installation [ ] less compile-time checks and more run-time checks [ ] should GridFlow be bundled with some of its own dependencies? [ ] find a good profiler (not gridflow's internal...) [ ] cross-compile: http://www.libsdl.org/extras/win32/cross/ http://rooster.stanford.edu/~ben/linux/cross.php Documentation [ ] make a short feature list as a promo [ ] add credits [ ] document how to report bugs, basic troubleshooting [ ] document our distribution of the archives [ ] ascii conventions: [foo] vs "foo", etc. [ ] document internals [ ] describe indexmap in doc [ ] document backward compatibility issues [ ] architecture: class->type/shape->use->role [ ] heavily hyperlink documentation [ ] automate more parts of the documentation [ ] benchmarks (especially: simple video i/o) [ ] mimic [pdp_help_input] [pdp_help_output]: they are convenient --- remember to keep doc/help/screenshots/examples up to date Architecture [0.9] reentrancy of objects (to allow true recursion) [0.9] inlet-attrs (attrs associated to inlets) [ ] eliminate the Dim class, replacing by Grid itself (?). [ ] pull mode (functional-style) [ ] bidirectional messages (constraint/relational-style) [ ] send-reply messages (imperative-style) [ ] add reflection (#global:classes, #global:methods, ...) [ ] transmitting grids by diffs? [ ] dispatch on _#{i}_-named methods (any selector one inlet) [0.9] generalize the backstore [ ] Outlet#buffer should harmonise with the lcm of its corresponding Inlet#factor's. [ ] lazy grids: Grid#operator T* makes sure all the grid is received and Grid#range(int start, int n, T bogus) makes sure the specified part of the grid is received. [0.9] accounting: grids messages packets numbers bytes copybytes [0.9] memory profiling [ ] add a "query" class for debugging other objects? (would be able to extract extra info from each object/class) [ ] add a GridFlow::LaterException or something (which tells to retry later with the same packet because another grid reception is not completed yet.) [ ] interpret nested lists as n-dimensional. [0.9] MMX memcpy() ?

I found the video loopback device here: http://motion.sourceforge.net/vloopback/ iSight on linux : http://episteme.arstechnica.com/6/ubb.x?a=tpc&s=50009562&f=8300945231&m=40110681 needs something called 'coriander'. the person who got it working mentions libdc1394. http://www.tele.ucl.ac.be/PEOPLE/DOUXCHAMPS/ieee1394/cameras/index.html: I learn that the iSight is compliant with version 1.30 of IIDC. the docs for coriander mention that the author needed to create a major and minor device for the camera. retyping (damn pdf's) -> there are two devices to create: raw1394 and video1394 raw1394 has major 171 and minor 0 while video1394 had major 171 and minor 16 any useful info? having a camera like the iSight supported could be fantastic for video capture/detection on a laptop. Not to mention that the bttv cards are getting harder to locate -mfpmath=sse2 remember to check for volatile VALUEs if GC problems ever occur Tom Schouten wrote: " added demo/rawvideo.pf and some support scripts in bin/pf-rawvideo.* this is an example on how to use external programs for raw video input. rationale: mplayer is a very nice piece of software supporting virtually any input format/codec. since i'm not planning to waste time on integrating more input codecs in pf, the best alternative is to have mplayer (actually mencoder) or ffmpeg as a subprocess. the same will be done for recording later.
