- make im__math and common up code between the trig/log funcs
- 1-bit PNG read is broken?

- im__cast_and_call() no longer does
out->Bbits = im_bits_of_fmt( out->BandFmt );
make sure we do this for each use of im__cast_and_call()
- im__cast_and_call() no longer casts input to output type, it casts inputs
up to the smallest common type
so we need to change all the buffer processors from
T op T -> T
to
T1 op T1 -> T2
done add/sub/mul, doing div
others?
- rename vipsCC in SWIG as pyvips?
- try the new liboil thing:
http://www.schleef.org/orc/
pick something like abs and time it
- gbandjoin in Python seems to be broken
a = VImage.VImage.gbandjoin ([a, a, a])
fails with a typecheck error
probably all IMAGEVEC wrappers are duff like this ... the proto should take
a std::allocator too?
- all the messages like:
(nip2:31883): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: IA__g_object_set_property:
object class `VipsInterpolateBilinear' has no property named
`sharpening'
are v. annoying, can we suppress them? don't set unless the property exists
in the vips generic property setter? or do it in nip2?
- vip2dj -rotate STILL does not always work, eg. try
/data/john/study2/small0.v ... should NOT rotate, but it does
- IMAGE->file_length should be gint64 rather than size_t?
if we make this change, need to remove extra casts from various uses
- rename "header" program? or maybe use "vips header" instead?
it's disabled on ubuntu due to a name clash
- import ~/summer-demo/summer.tif fails with "unable to read embedded
profile", is this a bug? better err msg would be good
trying to catch errors now, but is it working? not sure
- 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
WONTFIX for 7.18
================
- can we use conv_sep to speed up the memuse benchmarks?
- move im_shrink & friends to resample?
match_linear, match_linear_search?
what about im_stretch3.c, im_resize_linear
- im_render should use a hash for tile lookup ... or+shift x/y together
load wtc.jpg, rotate 42 degrees, zoom in and out quickly for a while, quit
tiles are leaked :(
does not leak if you wait for repaint to finish before zooming/unzooming
problem with waiting for paint to finish in render_kill?
- check mosaic1, global_balance, similarity etc. use of im__affine
how can we move them to im_affinei ?
- make a "deprecated" package too
- update the Portfiles on the mac and on the website from the macports ones
- radiance read/write needs docs
maybe have an im_format(3) page with all the built-in formats?
hard until we document vips_object :(
- same for matio?
- 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
also a mail from Martin Breidt has links to several fast free C
implementations
- try making vips_add(), an operator as a class
- need to write interpolate docs ... manpages and tutorial
difficult without docs for vips_object
- need a section for vipsobject in the tutorial
also a manpage?
not really stable yet :( don't document
- how to expose things like yafrsmooth's "sharpening" 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?
will im_invalidate() trash the render cache too?
- 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!
- on win32, should not write matrix files in binary mode, we want CR/LF chars
so we can load into excel etc easily
how odd, we're doing
if( !(fp = fopen( name, "w" )) ) {
shouldn't be binary ... hmm
