- add MATLAB write
- sink.c, sinkdisc.c, sinkmemory.c all define this function:
static int
sink_progress( void *a )
{
Sink *sink = (Sink *) a;
VIPS_DEBUG_MSG( "sink_progress: %d x %d\n",
sink->tile_width, sink->tile_height );
/* Trigger any eval callbacks on our source image and
* check for errors.
*/
vips_image_eval( sink->im,
sink->tile_width, sink->tile_height );
if( vips_image_get_kill( im ) )
return( -1 );
return( 0 );
}
how dumb, common this up somehow
sink.c is the replacement for im_iterate()
- need a way to make the vips.1 etc. man pages
gtk has things like docs/reference/gtk/gtk-update-icon-cache.xml and man
pages are made from that with xslt
- get rid of a lot of the command-line programs, who wants to write a man page
for batch_image_convert etc yuk
- can we make man pages for the API as well? probably not from googling a bit
- use g_mmap() or whatever it's called ... or perhaps they don't have all
these options
- use |_O_TEMPORARY to open()'s mode on Windows for tmpfiles to increase the
chances we actually delete
see http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-gnulib@gnu.org/msg05730.html
- lab [100,0,0] -> srgb [255, 255, 254]? how odd
- im_conv()/im_morph() could have more than 10 programs? try 20 and see if we
still have a speedup
make a base class for vector area operations with a matrix with three vfuncs
for init / generate code for one element / end and a gslist of programs, use
that as the base for morph and conv
wait for vipsobject for this
- why is im_setupout() necessary for WIO output? couldn't writeline call it if
it's not been called?
equally, could pincheck/poutcheck/outcheck be made optional?
im_region_create() could call pincheck for you, for example
though would this cause problems with threading? we need to incheck
from the main thread, not from a worker during pipeline build
open_lazy does a pincheck to rewind the disc conversion, but that could be
removed
incheck is necessary to make ->data valid I suppose, though perhaps
IM_IMAGE_ADDR() could call it for you
- perhaps replace all these with a single call:
int im_setup( IMAGE *im, VipsStyle style );
typedef enum VipsStyle {
VIPS_STYLE_PARTIAL,
VIPS_STYLE_WHOLE
};
and set read or write with:
int im_inputs( IMAGE *im, ... )
int im_output( IMAGE *im, ... )
this is all done for us by the new vips8 API though, don't bother changing
this now
- perspective transform with a matrix ... base it on the Lenz transformer, but
partial
- maybe im_draw_smudge() is too slow :-( also, we had a sanity failure with
it, argh
make a region, prepare to that, copy back over the image?
- use D65 in cmsCreateLab4Profile() ? not sure
- im_divide() can /0 for complex
- unlink temps earlier on *nix systems
the file is created by setupout, which is called just before generate or
writeline, so perhaps unlink on evalstart?
no, on a rewind we need to be able to close and reopen, argh
- tools subdirs are now pretty stupid :-( just have a single dir
- test
python setup.py build_ext
python setup.py build
python setup.py install

ie. vimagemodule.so can't find libvipsCC.so I guess? or perhaps the compiler

- convert_saveable for other writers: tiff, ppm, csv, rad etc.
- expose more of the tone funcs in nip2
- quite a few hist operations have no GUI ... lhisteq, for example? or
histspec?
- rename header, edvips as vipsheader, vipsedit
maybe have back compat links?
- should im_rwcheck() copy to disc?
maybe im_rwcheck_disc() copies to im->filename and maps that
rather awkward to do atm with the way check.c is structured
- what does G_UNLIKELY() do? can we use it?
- rename vipsCC in SWIG as pyvips?
- look into G_GNUC_DEPRECATED for back compat in vips8
- use
http://library.gnome.org/devel/glib/stable/glib-Byte-Order-Macros.html
for swapping ... they are asm macros so we should see a speedup
- can we use conv_sep to speed up the memuse benchmarks?
- check mosaic1, global_balance, similarity etc. use of im__affine
how can we move them to im_affinei ?
- doc strings would be nice, read the SWIG notes on this
- bilateral filtering, see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilateral_filter
http://www.shellandslate.com/fastmedian.html
http://people.csail.mit.edu/sparis/bf_course/
also a mail from Martin Breidt has links to several fast free C
implementations
- try making vips_add(), an operator as a class
- need a section for vipsobject in the tutorial
also a manpage?
not really stable yet :( don't document
- how to expose things like snohalo1's "blur" parameter to
C++/Python?
can we write a find-by-nickname function? eg.
GType vips_get_type (const char *base, const char *nickname)
then
vips_get_type ("VipsInterpolator", "bicubic")
would get us the GType for VipsInterpolatorBicubic
- we shouldn't need to call im_invalidate() in gtkdisp4 :( how can we fix
this?
- we should wrap the format API, also im_render*(), see gtkdisp.cc for sample
code
- have a base VObject class and put the ref stuff in there ... share between
VMask, VDisplay, VImage
- need an im_init_world() for C++ which does cmd-line args too, so C++ progs
can get --vips-progress and stuff automatically
- more cleanups to the handling of vips format images, esp. we have vips write
spread across many files atm
- could remove a lot of crappy old API
- try
libsrc/convolution$ grep -l offsets *.c
could we do the don't calc offsets thing unless bpl; changes thing in more
places?
- unsharp should work on GREY16? should be easy to add GREY16->LABS
no, labs is signed short, ranges are all differrent, and the scaling will be
wrong anyway
correct: import with ICC to labs, then process, then export to RGB, take
green?
yuk, can we add a 16bit path to vips's lab <--> rgb converter?
use TIFF RGB16 as the 16bit RGB target
im_XYZ2disp() would be easy to 16bit ... just need the 1,500 element table
table->t_Yr2r[i] expanded
im_disp2XYZ() uses im_col_rgb2XYZ() in a loop ... again, need
the 1,500 element table table->t_r2Yr[i] expanded
usually these three tables (t_r2Yr, t_g2Yg, t_b2Yb) will be identical, can
we common them up? same for t_Yr2r etc.
how big should the table be for 16 bits? 256 times larger? too big!
we really just need a LUT for pow() with the right exponent, eg. 2.4 for
sRGBs, and one for 1/2.4 ... see what calcul_tables does:
table->t_r2Yr[i] = yo + a * pow( i * table->ristep / f + c, ga );
see
- test maxpos_avg, quite a few changes
- HAVE_HYPOT could define a hypot() macro?
- im_exr2vips can now use c++ api
see TODO notes in openexr read (though they all need more openexr C API)
consider openexr write
- python startup fails with plugins in vipslib:
Fatal Python error: can't initialise module vips
plugin: unable to open plugin "/home/john/vips/lib/resample.plg"
plugin: /home/john/vips/lib/resample.plg: undefined symbol: im_start_one
do we need to build plugins with -rpath etc. and more libs?
or do we need to make sure our python modules export all their im_ symbols?
check:
http://www.swig.org/Doc1.3/SWIGDocumentation.html#Python_nn8
http://docs.python.org/dist/dist.html
- write our own python extension to call a vips operation by name
result = vips_call ("name", args)
then call that from VImage_method
- do we really need VImage_method? Can't we write
__getattr__ (self, name) = lambda (obj_to_call, arguments):
or something like that?
- TIFF load/save should use meta system for unknown tags
- balance should use new meta stuff
- magick2vips should spot ICC profiles and attach them as meta
- also png2vips?
- magick should set some header field for n_frames and frame_height? see also
analyze
- im_csv2vips() could use "-" for filename to mean stdin
but then we'd have to read to a malloced buffer of some sort rather than an
image, since we might need to grow it during the read, since we couldn't
then seek
- add erode/dilate 3x3 special case using a 512-bit LUT
... nope, actually slower :-( we end up doing an inner loop like
for( i = 0; i < 9; i++ )
bits |= (p[o[i]] != 0) << i;
which is horrible. Maybe if we had a one band true 1 bit image it'd be
quicker since we could get bits out in parallel and wouldn't have to worry
about converting non-zero to 1
could have a Coding type for bitpack? eg. relational produces a bitpack
image by default, boolean & morph can work on bitpack etc
maybe something for vips8 ... we could have a flag on operations for the
coding types they can accept, and if they are passed other type, they are
automatically converted
- non-linear sharpen: replace each pixel by the lightest or darkest neighbour
depending on which is closer in value
- can wrap other inplace funcs which use ink now we have vector_to_ink() in
inplace_dispatch.c
see also comments in nip2 TODO ... we could auto-wrap in vips_call.c
cleaner!
