| villager | hmm, the performance of libavcodec's swscale stinks on the n900 | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| villager | ffmpeg's swscale, that is | 00:02 |
| *** Striki has joined #maemo-devel | 00:02 | |
| villager | hmm, what else can I use if I want to convert camera input from yuv to rgb? | 00:03 |
| villager | or I suppose it's possible that it's sdl that stinks | 00:04 |
| lcuk_ | what are you wanting for | 00:04 |
| lcuk_ | direct saving? | 00:04 |
| lcuk_ | or display | 00:04 |
| lcuk_ | and isnt there a specific gstreamer plugin for this | 00:04 |
| villager | well, I convert to rgb, then blit onto the sdl surface | 00:04 |
| villager | which I display | 00:05 |
| villager | with SDL_Flip | 00:05 |
| villager | I want to be able to scribble onto the picture before displaying it | 00:05 |
| villager | shouldn't be necessary to use gstreamer for that, should it? | 00:06 |
| lcuk_ | if you are using gstreamer to get the camera image | 00:06 |
| lcuk_ | just change the result type you want | 00:07 |
| lcuk_ | i scribble on many images | 00:07 |
| villager | I'm using v4l2 | 00:07 |
| lcuk_ | i just redraw in real time | 00:07 |
| lcuk_ | http://liqbase.net/liq.20091230_041442.user.lolcats.png | 00:07 |
| villager | so I have to stop using v4l2 and use gstreamer instead? | 00:08 |
| villager | just to get a rgb picture into a sdl surface? | 00:08 |
| villager | wish it was as fast on the device as on my pc... | 00:10 |
| lcuk_ | :) my device is fast | 00:12 |
| villager | let's see if sdl is the problem | 00:12 |
| lcuk_ | which do you have | 00:12 |
| villager | which what? | 00:13 |
| lcuk_ | maemo device | 00:13 |
| lcuk_ | and you are wanting to draw onto live video | 00:13 |
| villager | my n900? | 00:13 |
| villager | yeah | 00:13 |
| * lcuk_ nods, its hard to keep it directed at scene and work with it | 00:14 | |
| lcuk_ | so effectively useless | 00:14 |
| lcuk_ | better taking photos and drawing on them | 00:14 |
| lcuk_ | drawing over live stuff ala football commentators is something for a fixed cam | 00:14 |
| * lcuk_ learnt from experience | 00:15 | |
| villager | well, not that kind of drawing... programmatic, like those icons the camera app shows | 00:15 |
| lcuk_ | oh, ui | 00:17 |
| villager | maybe I should do the conversion straight into the main sdl screen instead of onto an offscreen surface which I blit into it | 00:18 |
| lcuk_ | reducing the layers helps :) | 00:19 |
| villager | hmm, then I have to move some of the logic around | 00:22 |
| *** VDVsx has quit IRC | 00:23 | |
| villager | that made it quite a bit better it seems | 00:30 |
| villager | hmm, perhaps part of the problem was that one of the surfaces were 24bpp and other 32bpp, which probably added conversion overhead in the blit | 00:31 |
| villager | lcuk_: oh yeah, my program also has a hotkey to pause the live video, so you can mess with (and scribble on) a stationary image for a moment, then restart the live video when done | 00:37 |
| villager | hmm, the builtin camera app is still an order of magnitude faster than my app, wonder what tricks they use... maybe they just write the icons directly onto the yuv? | 00:39 |
| villager | or is the gstreamer stuff able to do the color conversion in hardware? | 00:42 |
| *** BabelO__ has quit IRC | 00:44 | |
| villager | definitely the sws_scale that's the problem now, it's very fast if I replace it with memcpy | 00:45 |
| *** blubbi_ has quit IRC | 00:50 | |
| *** simoneb_ has quit IRC | 00:50 | |
| villager | well, fps is usable for now, I'll worry about hw acceleration later.. | 00:51 |
| *** woglinde_ has joined #maemo-devel | 00:53 | |
| lcuk_ | villager, neither, a hint would be it still being yuv ;) | 00:56 |
| lcuk_ | conversion from yuv to rgb is a VERY time consuming operation | 00:56 |
| lcuk_ | none trivial pel oriented not very optimizable high bandwidth operation | 00:57 |
| villager | lcuk_: so they do write the icons directly onto the yuv? | 00:57 |
| villager | or how do they display them? | 00:57 |
| lcuk_ | hwy not, i do | 00:57 |
| * lcuk_ does everything in yuv, why shouldnt other people | 00:57 | |
| lcuk_ | hell, mplayer puts subtitles on it | 00:57 |
| lcuk_ | afaik | 00:57 |
| villager | how do you display the yuv? is it opengl textures or something in yuv format? | 00:58 |
| lcuk_ | xvideo | 00:58 |
| lcuk_ | but you cant use sdl | 00:58 |
| lcuk_ | or even x11 rendering tools | 00:59 |
| villager | it's possible to get dialogs on top of the camera-ui display, the icons do it, I thought xvideo would make the video always topmost | 00:59 |
| *** woglinde has quit IRC | 00:59 | |
| lcuk_ | you can colorkey things if you really need, but in sdl you have already thrown away gtk style widgets | 01:00 |
| villager | so you think the camera-ui is using xvideo with color keying? | 01:01 |
| lcuk_ | heres the sort of thing i do, consider that any element in here can be moving video source http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hGUKICDeok | 01:01 |
| lcuk_ | villager, i dunno exactly, im pretty certain it uses xvideo though | 01:01 |

| SpeedEvil1 | nope | 06:52 |
| SpeedEvil1 | there is one camera interface | 06:52 |

| *** SpeedEvil1 is now known as SpeedEvil | 06:53 | |
| villager | hmm yeah | 06:54 |
| SpeedEvil | what for? | 07:07 |
| villager | at the moment it was just for fun, was going to put a live image of myself into a corner of the live video from the main camera... | 07:16 |
| SpeedEvil | ah | 07:16 |
| villager | though I was hoping that someday I could use the front camera for eye tracking... while the main display showed what the main camera saw, it could also figure out which part of the scenery I was looking at | 07:18 |
| villager | or better, which part of the ui, so I could hold the phone with both hands, and tell it to snap a picture using my eyes | 07:19 |
| villager | blink twice = take a snapshot | 07:19 |
| villager | or something | 07:20 |
| villager | would be neat | 07:20 |
| SpeedEvil | villager: yes, that would be good. | 07:22 |
| SpeedEvil | villager: however - one large problem is that the front camera is generally bad. | 07:22 |
| SpeedEvil | In not-ideal light, it's terrible. | 07:22 |
| SpeedEvil | I have questions if it's ever going to be very usable for eye tracking in any but hte most contrived situations. | 07:23 |
| SpeedEvil | For example, facing the sun, with the camera 30cm from your eye | 07:23 |
| villager | yeah, it's a little crappy | 07:25 |
| SpeedEvil | In principle the main cam can even be replaced and upgraded! Though the front one really needs it and can't. | 07:26 |
