Hey folks!

BAndiT1983: I run my code successfully on the beta firmware :)
11:17
BAndiT1983
very good, have you succeeded to extract the output back to your host machine?
11:18
TofuLynx
Nope. The tftp server just rejects the put or curl actions
11:18
BAndiT1983
what is the error message?
11:21
BAndiT1983
have you looked at the docs? -> https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/TFTP
11:23
Bertl
I wouldn't exptect the QEMU tftp server to support put requests
11:23
Bertl
after all, it is designed to boot systems not to exchange data
11:24
Bertl
looking at the code, this is easily confirmed:
11:24
Bertl
* tftp.c - a simple, read-only tftp server for qemu
11:26
BAndiT1983
if tftp is working, so must the network also, or not?
11:26
Bertl
yes, to some degree
11:27
Bertl
i.e. the connection between the virtual network card and the qemu network stack has to work for this
11:28
Bertl
but was the qemu TFTP confirmed working already? i.e. can you access a TFTP served file with the tftp get request?

Hi all
11:37
supragya
Seems like TofuLynx too had problems installing beta software
11:37
supragya
did any conclusion was reached?
11:37
supragya
(rip my grammar)
11:37
TofuLynx
Bertl: so if I modify the tftp.c I would make a tfto server that accepts put requests?
11:38
TofuLynx
Yeah, install the old version, with the old Kernel, the newer Kernel still has issues
11:38
supragya
were you successful in installing old kernel?
11:38
TofuLynx
Yeah
11:39
supragya
Hmm, have to look into it... link perhaps?
11:39
TofuLynx
Without problems at all
11:39
TofuLynx
Let me check
11:40
supragya
BandiT, my C++ challenge was completed a week ago... or maybe beofore that... I was trying to get beta softwar to work... but it was ready..
11:40
supragya
Bertl gave a few suggestion then
11:40
supragya
worked on it
11:41
supragya
should i push the software on git... and then can you give feedback?
11:41
BAndiT1983
i know, Bertl sent me the link, have to add it to the c++ challenge task, so we can review it
11:41
TofuLynx
https://github.com/apertus-open-source-cinema/axiom-beta-qemu/blob/4334f25641b66013b49ab199e0ce75252bdd49aa/README.md
11:41
TofuLynx
Here is it supragya :)
11:41
supragya
Thank you TofuLynx
11:42
BAndiT1983
you can push it git, review will be done as soon as someone has time, have to finish some personal stuff before that
11:43
supragya
Bandit, sure... but if there is not hurry, i would like to work on different types of debayering before then, have makefile created and tests made (Bertl asked me these would be better)
11:43
TofuLynx
BAndiT1983: how do you know I run it on the beta firmware?
11:43
BAndiT1983
?
11:44
supragya
Tofulynx, can you provide me with commit number
11:45
TofuLynx
What do you mean?
11:46
supragya
nvm, got it
11:47
supragya
Bandit, I ran OC, it is surprisingly blank, am i going wrong somewhere?
11:48
BAndiT1983
blank? there are 3-4 applications, partially with features (see screenshots in wiki or lab)
11:48
TofuLynx
I will have to check OC too, I am interested in the different debayering methods task too
11:49
supragya
What are you planning to work on Tofulynx?
11:49
supragya
I was trying to work on OC debayering
11:49
TofuLynx
The same as you plan, I think xD
11:49
TofuLynx
The different raw debayering methods for OpenCine
11:53
TofuLynx
Were you successful with the old Kernel?

TofuLynx

11:55
TofuLynx
joined the channel
12:01
Bertl
TofuLynx: there is no real point in modifying the tftp server in QEMU, there are easier ways to exchange data with the host
12:01
supragya
Sorry was away
12:01
TofuLynx
for example, by connecting the qemu to the internet?
12:01
supragya
Bertl, what is this discussion about tftp server? axion-beta-software related?
12:02
Bertl
TofuLynx: well yes, local network, virtual harddisk, serial port, etc
12:02
TofuLynx
it is about the axiom beta firmware, to test the code on the firmware you can use a tftp server to get files from the Host
12:02
TofuLynx
but not to put files on the Host, unfortunately.
12:03
supragya
This beta firmware, the new one or old one ?
12:03
TofuLynx
I would assume both, but I only know about the old
12:04
supragya
were you successful in running it on old firmware?
12:04
TofuLynx
yeah
12:05
supragya
that cpp one?
12:05
TofuLynx
what do you mean?
12:06
supragya
I am asking, were you successful in running the debayering program on old firmware?
12:06
TofuLynx
yeah I were
12:07
supragya
k
12:07
supragya
so you are looking at multiple proposals here at [apertus] or debayering in OpenCine?
12:08
TofuLynx
I am mainly interested on T722 OpenCine: Raw Image Debayering Methods
12:09
supragya
nice!
12:09
TofuLynx
And you?
12:11
supragya
Well, to be frank I am not sure
12:11
supragya
I would like to work on OpenCine more than any hardware related things but really need to look
12:12
TofuLynx
I understand
12:12
TofuLynx
Wishes of the best luck for you!

BAndiT1983
most stuff for the beta i'm testing under manjaro, as it is archlinux derivative
12:21
supragya
i too have manjaro
12:21
supragya
Bandit, after building OC
12:21
supragya
i get only single exec... ProcessingText
12:21
BAndiT1983
there should be 2 more, at least
12:21
BAndiT1983
OCBackup and OCLauncher
12:22
supragya
well, no
12:22
supragya
i dont have them
12:22
supragya
used Qt gui and cli both
12:23
BAndiT1983
in qtcreator you have to select other project, so it can build them
12:23
TofuLynx
left the channel
12:23
BAndiT1983
it's in the bottom left area, above the hammer or similar
12:23
TofuLynx
joined the channel
12:25
supragya
I am doing as given in Build from command line at https://wiki.apertus.org/index.php/OpenCine.Build_Instructions, still the same
12:25
supragya
not using qtcreator
12:25
BAndiT1983
hm, then i'M wondering why it just gives you processingtest
12:26
BAndiT1983
will try it later on a fresh linuxmint vm, to ensure it still works, but was adjusting OC some time ago, had no problems
12:26
supragya
these were what built in cli:
12:26
supragya
[ 6%] Built target MemoryPool
12:26
supragya
[ 6%] Built target xxhash
12:26
supragya
[ 8%] Built target OCcore_autogen
12:26
supragya
[ 54%] Built target OCcore
12:26
supragya
[ 56%] Built target OCui_autogen
12:26
supragya
[ 82%] Built target OCui
12:26
supragya
[ 84%] Built target ProcessingTest_autogen
12:26
BAndiT1983
check my last commits, hope i haven't deactivated stuff by mistake
12:26
supragya
[100%] Built target ProcessingTest
12:27
supragya
lemme do that quick
12:27
Bertl
supragya: no, the tftp was just QEMU related
12:28
supragya
BAndiT1983: i guess there is some problem (maybe) on commit https://github.com/apertus-open-source-cinema/opencine/commit/c85b9d118579e3f725910387aa972affe2b2947d
12:29
supragya
much is commented out which looks like is the culprit
12:30
BAndiT1983
ah, so i've uploaded my test version without reverting this 2 lines
12:30
BAndiT1983
my bad, sorry, was improving processingtest for gsoc a bit and then forgot about this
12:32
supragya
i tried uncommenting them for cmakelist, no success... something bigger going on
12:32
supragya
can you do this so i can try tinkering with OC code?
12:36
BAndiT1983
you have to re-run cmake
12:36
BAndiT1983
nothing bigger, this 2 lines are the problem
12:36
BAndiT1983
they are including the projects into build
12:37
BAndiT1983
and if you run cmake again, then it should find it, then make and you should be good to go
12:37
supragya
there are some serious issues with OCui
12:39
BAndiT1983
which ones? i don't have time at the moment to take a deeper look, have to fix stuff elsewhere
12:39
supragya
sorry, my bad
12:39
supragya
it was a cache problem (feel stupid now)
13:01
supragya
BAndiT1983: I ran OCBackup, OC to me feels like a bunch of placeholders, what all can be done on it right now?
13:02
BAndiT1983
it can transfer data from a drive to defined place, thumbnails must be broken, because i've deactivated FFMPEG for now
13:02
BAndiT1983
don't know the state at the moment, have to take a look later
13:03
BAndiT1983
FFMPEG was deactivated by me, because there were build problems on windows
13:04
TofuLynx
Can you explain what is FFMPEG?
13:04
supragya
FFMPEG is a library
13:05
TofuLynx
What does it do?
13:05
supragya
for MPEG and video related things...
13:05
supragya
like LodePNG for pictures
13:05
BAndiT1983
used it to get preview for mov files
13:06
supragya
can add Destination folders but no source, no removable device seen no folder... how to add them?
13:07
supragya
software seems in it's too new a phase... am i wrong?
13:08
BAndiT1983
??
13:08
BAndiT1983
you have to insert virtually or real an sd-card or similar
13:09
BAndiT1983
the software works, it'S not polished and has not that many bells and whistles, but works
13:09
BAndiT1983
or where did the screenshots in wiki and lab came from??
13:09
supragya
does it only work with sd card?
13:10
BAndiT1983
it works with removable drives, at least it was the filter for it
13:10
BAndiT1983
you can also create a virtual cd and mount it, my linux did it natively
13:10
BAndiT1983
but i've used linuxmint then
13:11
BAndiT1983
i have gathered examples from apertus blog and "burned" them to an iso file, then mounted it by double-clicking
13:11
BAndiT1983
OCbackup seen the changes and shown it in the list at top-left corner
13:13
supragya
OCBackup is not the main application, is it? How can i access the editor
13:15
BAndiT1983
which editor? ocbackup is a module, the biggest one, compared by implemented stuff
13:18
supragya
I am talking about the images on https://www.apertus.org/opencine
13:18
supragya
does not look like OCBackup
13:19
BAndiT1983
this are mock-ups, which were created long before OC was started for real
13:20
supragya
this aws what i was asking :)
13:20
BAndiT1983
and i've joined the project when i'Ve seen them and wanted to implement this software
13:20
supragya
not implemented as of now right?
13:20
BAndiT1983
no, we have focussed on backup feature first, but processingtest was meant as predecessor to the grading software
13:20
BAndiT1983
a playground for visual stuff, i you want to call that so
13:22
supragya
TY for info, can you elaborate on https://lab.apertus.org/T763
13:23
BAndiT1983
vapoursynth is a successor to avisynth, this are frame server, where you use scripts to process video clips, decode, encode etc.
13:24
BAndiT1983
for software which does not support raw videos or for example MagicLantern, we wanted to provide a plugin for vapoursynth, so we can access OC as data handler
13:24
TofuLynx
So like a video editor?
13:24
BAndiT1983
this would allow to load avi files in an editor, without it knowing that the data is coming from OC
13:24
BAndiT1983
it's more a small IDE with CLI, you use mainly scripts
13:25
TofuLynx
Interesting
13:26
TofuLynx
Can you elaborate an example of what I would use VapourSynth for?
13:28
BAndiT1983
sorry, no time to do it at the momen, please google for it, have to finish important stuff, just looking in IRC a bit
13:30
BAndiT1983
for avisynth,predecessor -> http://avisynth.nl/index.php/Script_examples
13:32
supragya
TofuLynx: seems to me that it works as follows:
13:32
supragya
just like you used lodepng's encode to encode png
13:33
supragya
from a vector
13:33
supragya
think of a vieo editor software using vapoursynt
13:34
TofuLynx
Wow
13:34
TofuLynx
It seems awesome
13:34
TofuLynx
Using "code" to edit
13:34
supragya
it acts as a library/plugin for that software... the trick is to add to the vapoursynth thingy, OC's capability
13:34
supragya
so that the editor uses vapoursynth, but vapursynth for some functions uses OC
13:34
supragya
BAndiT1983: correct me if wrong
13:36
TofuLynx
Thanks for the explanation supragya
13:36
BAndiT1983
no, it isn't working asa plugin
13:38
BAndiT1983
e.g. you create an AVI file with vapoursynth, it's a container for the data
13:38
BAndiT1983
the application, which is not working with RAW data usually, opens that file, and vapoursynth reacts to the requests for frames and so on
13:39
BAndiT1983
it's seamless for the application, and you can process the data in between, e.g. in OC or vapoursynth, before pushing it to the final editor
13:39
BAndiT1983
so it would be: OCcore -> VP plugin -> VP frame server -> video editor
13:41
supragya
so vapoursynth is something like live connection that exists in Adobe CC?
13:41
BAndiT1983
can be, i don't know adobe products that well
13:41
supragya
if two files are open in Adobe AE and PR and one updates, so the changes are reflected in another?
13:41
BAndiT1983
no
13:41
supragya
:(
13:42
BAndiT1983
vapoursynth provides a file, which looks like simple video file
13:43
BAndiT1983
you load it in the application, it also thinks it's a normal video file
13:43
BAndiT1983
when the application requests data from it, frames, audio data etc., VP provides it, from different sources, in our case it should be OCcore lib, which will be accessed thorugh VP pplugin
13:43
supragya
are you talking of it being mainly a frameserver?
13:43
BAndiT1983
yes
13:44
BAndiT1983
i've mentioned it already above
13:44
supragya
TofuLynx: http://avisynth.nl/index.php/Frameserver
13:44
supragya
that is it's main job
13:44
supragya
?
13:44
TofuLynx
I'm understanding it now!
13:45
TofuLynx
But doesn't it take too much computational power?
13:46
BAndiT1983
don't think so, but tests have to be done
13:46
BAndiT1983
we can also send just partial data, you remember our talk about half size or even quarter, similar to after effects preview?
13:46
TofuLynx
Ok, seems like a memory optimization problem?
13:46
supragya
i guess it should take more computational power than it being simple file in first place
13:46
TofuLynx
Yeah I do
13:47
BAndiT1983
in theory, the data is already loaded through OCcore, just the transfer is expensive, in my opinion
13:47
TofuLynx
Expensive to main memory or disk?
13:47
BAndiT1983
we can accelerate stuff through opencl, cuda, shaders or openmp, so the ball is on our site how we do it
13:47
BAndiT1983
it's more of RAM story
13:48
TofuLynx
Ok :)
13:48
supragya
https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/dynamic-link.html, similar to this BAndiT1983?
13:48
BAndiT1983
this is different story, it's about how to gather different compositions in AE together, as they can be heavy on memory and CPU
13:48
BAndiT1983
we are talking about simple frame server first
13:49
BAndiT1983
so we don't have to write our own one, we would use VP
13:49
BAndiT1983
idea came from MagicLantern forum, but their solution was a bit too cumbersome
13:49
TofuLynx
Makes sense
13:49
TofuLynx
And VP is open-source too, right?
13:50
supragya
yeah
13:50
BAndiT1983
yes
13:50
BAndiT1983
https://github.com/vapoursynth/vapoursynth
13:50
TofuLynx
Cool!
13:51
BAndiT1983
but we don't have to modify it, just to write a plugin, is not very difficult, tried it before, as preparation for that task
13:51
supragya
TofuLynx: http://www.vapoursynth.com/doc/api/vapoursynth.h.html#writing-plugins
13:51
TofuLynx
Ok!
13:51
BAndiT1983
yes, this are the docs
13:52
TofuLynx
supragya: thanks!
13:52
BAndiT1983
you can take a look at that plugin, so you know how to start ->
13:52
BAndiT1983
https://github.com/dubhater/vapoursynth-damb
13:52
TofuLynx
Seems well documented too
13:52
BAndiT1983
but the structure is a bit questionable there
13:54
supragya
In our case, where could we find OC decoding in codebase? pointer?
13:55
TofuLynx
BAndiT1983: this probably isn't your area, but axiom beta camera can do the processing in the fpga right? Like a phone
13:55
BAndiT1983
it does high-frequency stuff in fpga
13:55
BAndiT1983
Bertl is the expert
13:56
BAndiT1983
processingtest shows the methods, which are used for loading and decoding
13:56
TofuLynx
Hmm ok! :)
13:56
BAndiT1983
also linear debayering
14:00
supragya
Bye! and thanks BAndit1983 TofuLynx, gtg
14:00
BAndiT1983
no problem

BAndiT1983
what are you interested in?
16:05
sr6033_
I like to work with C/C++, python and JS. And I am currently working in the area of computer vision using opencv.
16:09
BAndiT1983
we have several areas where you can contribute, e.g. OpenCine, a toolsuite for RAW data backup and processing
16:09
BAndiT1983
relatively new is an automatic PCB inspection, there is a prototype which uses node.js for general data processing and python for opencv
16:10
sr6033_
Do you use github or some other version control?
16:11
BAndiT1983
yes, there is apertus area on github
16:11
BAndiT1983
https://github.com/apertus-open-source-cinema
16:16
BAndiT1983
PCB inspection is not uploaded yet, have to do some cleanup, as it consists of several parts which from different prototypes
16:16
BAndiT1983
*which are
16:18
sr6033_
okay. There are 2 ideas posted under opencine. I have gone through them.
16:21
BAndiT1983
i think you mean gsoc, as there is a separate section for opencine and it has more than 2 ;)

okay :D
16:22
sr6033_
But if i am willing to apply for gsoc, then I need to work on those 2 only, right?
16:28
se6astian
the idea page just contains some "suggested tasks"
16:28
se6astian
you can also propose a totally different idea
16:28
se6astian
or an idea that is mentioned on the lab
16:29
se6astian
the idea page should just give students some guidance what areas we are currently working on, but its by no means a "limit" of the GSoC scope
16:29
sr6033_
okay. Thank you. And I need to complete the qualification task first, right?
16:29
se6astian
correct
16:33
BAndiT1983
and you have to do the C++ challenge before applying
16:33
BAndiT1983
at least for OC tasks
16:34
sr6033_
okay. Thank you :)

16:34
BAndiT1983
yes?
16:34
TofuLynx
Does OC have some multithreading capabilities yet?
16:36
BAndiT1983
have implemented it partially, there is still a lot to optimize, but don't focus on that first
16:37
BAndiT1983
premature optimization is root of all evil ;)

16:39
TofuLynx
in general
16:40
TofuLynx
wait
16:40
TofuLynx
Is Axiom Camera, at the end, expected to be used by simple users?
16:40
TofuLynx
like amateur users
16:41
BAndiT1983
yes
16:41
TofuLynx
ok!
16:41
BAndiT1983
we are working on a web-based UI for it, so you can control it from smartphone, tablet or laptop
16:41
TofuLynx
that seems great! and what about the output of it?
16:41
BAndiT1983
currently the camera is controlled through console, but "normal" users are not that keen to do that
16:42
BAndiT1983
which output?
16:42
TofuLynx
video and photo
16:42
BAndiT1983
it does both, HDMI is there and so on, but se6astian has more details
16:42
BAndiT1983
off for now, back later, probably

se6astian: Is axiom expected at the end to output simple png photos?
16:44
TofuLynx
and simple .h265 videos?
16:46
Bertl_oO
png maybe, h265 probably not
16:52
se6astian
currently we write still images in RAW12 format in the AXIOM Beta: https://wiki.apertus.org/index.php/RAW12
16:53
se6astian
with some additional metadata RAW12 can be converted to DNG for example, or TIFF/PNG
16:57
TofuLynx
ok!
16:58
TofuLynx
I was thinking, maybe for the basic users, in a far future,the use of a NPU on the FPGA to process images for the user in a "automatic mode"
16:58
TofuLynx
not sure how farfetchd is that idea, maybe doesnt really have a point
16:59
TofuLynx
ah, NPU I mean neural processing unit
17:00
Bertl_oO
you certainly can do that, but what would the benefit of an NPU be for the typical cinema movie maker?
17:00
TofuLynx
yeah there's really no benefit at all
17:01
Bertl_oO
note that the Beta is flexible enough to be adapted for almost any purpose as long as the hardware permits it
17:01
Bertl_oO
(and even if not, you can usually extend or adapt the hardware :)
17:02
TofuLynx
Yeah, If I had the knowledge of FPGAs and NPUs and hardware, I would try something like that, a AI Powered camera, but there's really no point in that and i am from informatics engineering xD
17:03
Bertl_oO
just find a cheap AI on a chip and make yourself a plugin or shield *G*
17:04
TofuLynx
wow xD
17:04
TofuLynx
yeah, that's a big strength of the axiom beta.

:) just wanted to know if you work on OC, or hardware so i could ask meaningful questions
18:49

in general the best approach is to just ask a question here
18:49
Bertl_oO
anybody who might be able to answer it will then reply
18:50

(often with an idication on the quality of the answer or a hint who might know more)
18:53
supragya
Okay... So i have been through OC... ran it and getting to understand the system, however any real reason why OCBackup is being made first? What about the main editor...? Any design documents?
18:54
Bertl_oO
that is something only BAndiT1983 is able to answer
18:58
supragya
He was not online... So was asking
19:09

the backup module was prioritized as it was a small scope project that could make OC a handy tool for endusers already
19:36
supragya
So does OC decode anything RN? The OCcore is pretty empty for https://lab.apertus.org/T763... Cannot find any RAW

Excuse the crude lighting, the setup was rather ghetto :P

very nice :)
19:52

i'll see if i have time for that tomorrow

21:23
TofuLynx
BAndiT1983, do you have any suggestions of anything I could learn? Maybe related to OpenCine
21:25
felix_
2 led desk lamps with a sheet of paper as difusor each, 1 mobile phone with another piece of paper as diffusor, 2 pieces of paper as background and a good camera with tripod. and then a bit post-processing with gimp. iirc DrLuke also made a photo of that setup
21:25
BAndiT1983
TofuLynx, what is your favorite area in development?
21:26
TofuLynx
Thanks felix!

TofuLynx: https://my.mixtape.moe/qoqtbr.jpg
21:26
DrLuke
Thanks, the setup was a bit ghetto, but I tried my best with the stuff I had available :P
21:29
TofuLynx
BAndiT1983 not sure how to explain what I like, it's sort of something related to handling almost low level things, such for example multithreading and I am highly interested in parallelization, something I have never learned about yet.
21:29
TofuLynx
Maybe I will give a shoot at OpenCL cores?
21:29
TofuLynx
Wow DrLuke
21:30
TofuLynx
That setup is really improvised! Awesome!
21:30
BAndiT1983
debayering is a good area to do such stuff, you could take a look at processingtest first
21:30
TofuLynx
Ok! Will check it :D
21:31
BAndiT1983
opencl was also planned, but had no time to approach it, so you could try it
21:31
TofuLynx
You give preference to OpenCL, right?
21:31
TofuLynx
better to use OpenCL initially than CUDA cores?
21:32
TofuLynx
DrLuke, did you use an axiom beta kit to capture the photo or was other machine?
21:32
DrLuke
TofuLynx: Canon 600D
21:32
DrLuke
with kit lens
21:32
DrLuke
would've looked much neater with better glass
21:33
TofuLynx
what is kit lens?
21:33
BAndiT1983
opencl is portable and cuda is just for nvidia, although i prefer geforce usually
21:33
BAndiT1983
lens supplied with the camera
21:33
TofuLynx
Yeah well I prefer OpenCL just for the sake of being open source xD
21:33
DrLuke
TofuLynx: the lens that comes with the camera when you buy it
21:34
TofuLynx
Ah, they are usually low quality?
21:34
DrLuke
they are ok quality
21:34
TofuLynx
so simply there is just better?
21:34
DrLuke
but the high-end lens produces much sharper images, you could zoom in two or three times more before it gets blurry
21:34
TofuLynx
makes sense!
21:35
DrLuke
I always thought it's just placebo, but I've once tried a 3000€ lens on my camera and holy crap it's like a whole different camera
21:35
TofuLynx
wow xD
21:35
TofuLynx
3000€ tho
21:35
DrLuke
lol yeah
21:36

21:36
DrLuke
heh, they're cheaper now
21:36
TofuLynx
yeah
21:36
TofuLynx
it has its own tripod mount?
21:36
DrLuke
That's the kind of glass you'd buy if you made your living with photography
21:37
DrLuke
TofuLynx: yeah, the lens is much heavier than the body
21:37
TofuLynx
Understood!
21:37
TofuLynx
If I was rich... xD
21:37
DrLuke
Heh yeah... if only :P
21:39
BAndiT1983
TofuLynx, if you like, then you could research how a fast conversion of 12bit to 16bit could look like, this time 16bit, so we can expand the range
21:40
BAndiT1983
but also how to load just half the size or quarter and how the performance affected
21:40
TofuLynx
hmm
21:40
TofuLynx
what is your definition of fast?
21:41
supragya
joined the channel
21:42
TofuLynx
also, do tell me one thing
21:42
TofuLynx
the linearization process is unique by machine or is based on the sensor average?
21:43
supragya
BAndiT1983, isnt MagicLantern a firmware while OC an app?
21:43
supragya
How do you plan on making vaporsynth connect the two of them?
21:44
supragya
left the channel
21:44
supragya
joined the channel
21:47
BAndiT1983
linearization is usually based on the additional data from sensor, if i remember correctly
21:47
TofuLynx
that extra data appended from the sensor?
21:47
BAndiT1983
ML is an extension for canon firmware, they have own data format, have implemented a decoder for it in OC
21:48
BAndiT1983
image sensor has several settings, so this ones are also important when trying to get the full range of data
21:48
BAndiT1983
for example one could use look up table for performance increase
21:48
TofuLynx
such as aperture and stuff?
21:51
BAndiT1983
yes, but aperture come from lens, iirc
21:51
TofuLynx
ok! :)
21:52
supragya
So how would the thought of workflow be? Obv, ML will be frameClient through VS using OC plugin, which will decode .... ? And where will this run? In camera..? Sorry didnt actually got the full picture
21:52
BAndiT1983
ML? frame server?
21:53
BAndiT1983
ML has it's own video format
21:53
BAndiT1983
at the moment OC supports basic ML and DNG stuff
21:53
BAndiT1983
OC is for the PC, it's a suite to process data from the camera
21:53
DrLuke
BAndiT1983: Yes, aperture is a characteristic of the lens
21:56
supragya
Bandit, you told me that the objective of the occore plugin was to bring to VS something which will have OC as backend to process the RAW etc. Something like ML. I am just trying to figure what you meant.
21:57
supragya
Ml would be benefitted... You told...

BAndiT1983: TofuLynx : I think opengl would be a better choice for debayering, because problems that map nicely to the graphics domain are generally better solved with opengl than opencl
22:09
anuejn
BAndiT1983: So can i imagine the vapoursynth frameserver as something like a fuse fs for video?
22:09
TofuLynx
anuejn, are you sure?
22:09
TofuLynx
OpenCL is supported by AMD graphics card in parallelization
22:10
DrLuke
is the bayerfilter a pixel-perfect thing?
22:10
DrLuke
(or: could someone show me what an image before debayering looks like?)
22:10
anuejn
se6astian: You commited some file with a space in the path :P. this breaks my setup :rofl:
22:11
TofuLynx
anuejn I think you're right
22:11

moreover, wouldnt it be smart do delete all the php stuff from the github repo and replace it with the stuff you put inti the dir with the evil path?
22:11
TofuLynx
"The OpenGL implementations invariably run faster even after hardcore OpenCL kernel optimization."
22:12
anuejn
DrLuke: yes it has to be done per pixel
22:12
supragya
Dr Luke, it is possible to see image before debayering... But any viewer will eventually debayer it before showing on screen
22:12

I have been researching and it seems that openGL is not suited for debayering
22:15
TofuLynx
but excelent for displaying the result
22:15
anuejn
DrLuke: there are some example debayering shaders in here: https://github.com/anuejn/batic/tree/master/examples/shaders jus coppy and paste them
22:15
DrLuke
TofuLynx: Why do you think it's unsuitable?
22:16
TofuLynx
I didn't do any profound research but i found this
22:16
TofuLynx
"OpenGL may place your video within the editing interface and make it play, but when you throw color correction onto it, CUDA or OpenCL will do the calculations to alter each pixel of the video properly."
22:17
TofuLynx
I think OpenCL is more suited as it is a Computing API, instead of a Graphics API such as OpenGL
22:17
supragya
left the channel
22:17
TofuLynx
and OpenCL is highly used for parallelization
22:18
DrLuke
opengl is optimized for pushing around pixels
22:18
anuejn
which is what we are doing
22:18
DrLuke
this is pretty classical opengl territory if you ask me
22:19
DrLuke
load raw image as texture -> sample texture multiple times per pixel to calculate final color -> render to framebuffer -> write framebuffer back to cpu
22:19
TofuLynx
and "pushing around pixels" includes the debayering process and linearization and stuff?
22:19
anuejn
jup think so, too
22:19
TofuLynx
makes sense
22:20
anuejn
DrLuke: thats exactly, what i thought / implemented
22:20
DrLuke
TofuLynx: This is no different to any of the post processing shaders that are present in any modern game engine
22:20
DrLuke
technology-wise
22:21
TofuLynx
yeah, I understand
22:21
TofuLynx
and we have the same purpose as the game engine
22:21
TofuLynx
to display it to the user as fast as possible
22:21
DrLuke
plus with this you could even debayer video in realtime if you can push the raw data into the gpu fast enough
22:21
TofuLynx
That's OpenCine's goal
22:22
DrLuke
If you need help developing that, I know some opengl :)
22:22
TofuLynx
Ok! Thanks!
22:23
TofuLynx
I will have to propose in my GSoC proposal the changing of openCL/CUDA cores to OpenGL
22:23
TofuLynx

22:26
