Abstract and partial transformations
|

</title>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Add a generic 2D transformation class, supporting partial transformations.
|
||||
<ul><li> 'partial transformation', as used here, means that it is expected that some
|
||||
points will fail to map.
|
||||
</li></ul>
|
||||
</li><li> Add a partial 2D transformation class with constructor taking as arguments
|
||||
a pair of 3D projective transformations and a 3D model.

Irani-Peleg for 3D models
|
||||
</title>
|
||||
<ul><li> Modify existing Irani-Peleg code to use generic (partial) 2D transformations.
|
||||
<ul><li> in combination with the above, this should allow the algorithm to operate
|
||||
on 3D models.

Focus bracketing for depth-of-field expansion
|
||||
</title>
|
||||
<ul><li> Add facilities for handling depth-of-field and focus bracketing in input
|
||||
image sets, as suggested by Viktors Rotanovs and Gregory Maxwell. This
|
||||
change will likely involve:
|
||||
<ul><li> using the 3D model for depth data, as suggested by Gregory Maxwell
|
||||
</li><li> using user-provided (file-scoped) focus details to determine depth of field
|
||||
</li><li> using variable PSF in the Irani-Peleg algorithm, as suggested by Gregory
|
||||
Maxwell
|
||||
</li><li> developing an approach to handle the incremental (non-Irani-Peleg) case.

Output image characteristics

(e.g., gamma) and channel offsets within a pixel.

Output devices
|

</title>
|

<ul><li>Add support for specifying output devices, such as LCD monitors, to
|
||||
allow shorthand customization of exposure (e.g., gamma) and other
|
||||
characteristics, such as channel offset in the case of LCD screens for sub-pixel
|

anti-aliasing.

Weight and certainty upper bounds
|
||||
</title>
|
||||
<ul><li>Add support for specifying weight and certainty upper bounds for
|
||||
rendering, either as an absolute constraint or relative to average
|
||||
weights, so that the overall contributions to an output pixel (or channel) are
|
||||
constrained by weight.

Time locality
|
||||
</title>
|
||||
<ul><li>In combination with weight and certainty upper bounds, time locality could be
|
||||
used to determine which frames are used to generate an output pixel. As a
|
||||
special case of this, video stream processing could favor frames
|
||||
having the smallest time difference from the target frame.

Documentation

</title>
|

<ul><li> Generate correctly indented book-level tables of contents when rendering

the complete set of manuals.

guide.
|

</li><li> Remedy meaningless page numbers for book title pages in the set
|
||||
ToC.
|
||||
</li><li>Complete migration of existing documentation from the localhost sub-directory,
|
||||
removing superfluous license terms in the footers.
|
||||
</li><li>Centralize licensing and authorship information (e.g., there should be only
|
||||
one COPYING file and only one AUTHORS file).
|
||||
</li><li>Include license and copyright terms for the doc tree Makefile
|
||||
as copyright notices in the AUTHORS and/or COPYING files (or equivalent).
|
||||
</li><li>Complete the documentation.
|
||||
</li><li>Revise the user manual for new features and syntax.
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Document new scoping operators {}, [], and [<>].
|
||||
</li><li>Document other changes in UI, including regularization of syntax.
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>in particular, commas can no longer appear in single-argument options
|
||||
when using assignment-delimited syntax; use space-delimited syntax
|
||||
instead. This behavior is inconsistent with 0.8.4.

Complete Package
|
||||
</title>
|
||||
<ul><li> Investigate options for distributing a 'complete' package including full
|
||||
revision history, pre-built documentation (if the ordinary distribution does
|
||||
not include this), and, possibly, example image sets. Direct download,
|
||||
bittorrent and CD are the most prominent candidates for distribution.
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li> In the case of CD distribution, information should probably be added to the
|
||||
manuals regarding how to update CD-provided program source.

Windows Package
|
||||
</title>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li> Investigate options for creating and distributing a combined source and
|
||||
binary Windows package containing sufficient software to ensure support for
|
||||
common image types (e.g., by statically linking with libraries for opening
|
||||
JPEG and PNG files). BitTorrent and CD are the most obvious candidates for
|
||||
distribution.
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li> This package could build on the package described above, as a 'for Windows'
|
||||
variant or some such.
|
||||
</li><li> This package could make use of an application such as InstallJammer
|
||||
or Nullsoft Scriptable Install System for installation.
