anuejn: got a reply from polyrhythm, he is using https://www.rawdigger.com/ to open the DNGs
10:24
se6astian
so I now compared how different tools handle the DNG
10:24
se6astian
here is the overview

Adobe Photoshop - opens but is completely white/grey - no actual image content
10:25
se6astian
Adobe Lightroom - same as Photoshop both use Adobe Camera Raw Importer
10:25
se6astian
RawDigger - hints of image elements visible rest looks noise/error/random
10:25
se6astian
Rawtherapee - looks the same as in adobe camera raw, just white/grey
10:25
se6astian
Darktable - yes
10:25
se6astian
screenshots of each tool at link above
10:25
se6astian
in summary darktable is the only tool that displays an actual image that is expected
10:27
BAndiT1983
nice summary!
10:31
se6astian
anuejn: I would check the metadata fields for things that might be required to interpret the raw data properly
10:31
se6astian
you can compare to the raw2dng converted axiom DNGs

charts-x1-20ms.DNG
10:31
se6astian
portrait-gainx2-offset2047-20ms-01.DNG
10:31
se6astian
both open fine in rawdigger
10:32
se6astian
whitelevel and blacklevel might be values that are essentially required
11:37
anuejn
oh interesting :)
11:38
anuejn
yeah probably only darktable is actually implementing floating point dng
11:38
anuejn
I will look into it :)
11:55
anuejn
okay so it seems that the problem is not really missing tags, since it also does not work when using the adobe dng converter before
11:55
anuejn
looks like I have to build a node for converting floating point data to uint16
12:05
anuejn
also interesting software with an interesting blog https://www.fastrawviewer.com/blog/determining-practical-dynamic-range
12:05
anuejn
sounds like a cool experiment to do with the beta
12:10
BAndiT1983
is the data originally received as floating point from the sensor?
12:15
se6astian
BAndiT1983: no, 12bit raw
12:15
se6astian
anuejn: great that we have a way forward now!
12:16
se6astian
will read blog post
12:16
BAndiT1983
then still wondering about the floating and uint16 conversion
12:22
anuejn
BAndiT1983: we are averaging a bunch of frames together to reduce the dynamic noise
12:23
anuejn
that is done in floating point
12:39
se6astian
anuejn: you saw https://www.rawdigger.com/node/268 I assume?
12:40
se6astian
"floating-point DNGs are currently not supported"
12:40
anuejn
ah no i didnt see that
12:40
anuejn
but makes perfect sense
12:46
se6astian
I just also tried in Davinci Resolve - does not throw an error when loading the file but displays it as "media offline" with wrong metadata 2048x1556 resolution for example
12:46
se6astian
added to txt file on nextcloud

se6astian
output from https://github.com/antonwolf/dng_stacker/blob/master/dng_validate.exe
12:50
anuejn
seems actually fine?
12:50
anuejn
also tried davinci for the non-float images and it worked
12:50
anuejn
seems like float support is just very poor generally
12:53
se6astian
yes, only warnings is good I would say
12:53
se6astian
yes float seems uncommon for cameras
13:04
se6astian
read the article, I would be interested in what he means by "resolution is evaluated using a semi-automatic computerized method"
13:40
se6astian
if we know that it would indeed be interesting to also try that method with the beta
15:15
anuejn
I have to admit that semi-automatic computerized method does not sound very scintific
15:15
anuejn
but yeah that is a very interesting plot
15:15
anuejn
we could also try to produce such plots for different other sensors we own and then compare

okay so I build the FP32ToUint16 Node and now I can open the DNG files in rawdigger :)
17:55
anuejn
there is some documentation here: https://github.com/apertus-open-source-cinema/axiom-recorder/blob/24c0958d1d1dee7b910ac6237a089003be116920/README.md#dng-output
17:57
anuejn
I also converted the files to dng with uint16
17:57
anuejn
the archive is currently uploading
17:57
anuejn
I converted the files with a 16x multiplier to rescale the native 12bit output of the sensor to the 16bit dng
18:05
anuejn
here are the files: https://files.niemo.de/221201_XriteSnaps_uint16_dng.zip
