Detailed Description

Generates FilterBankEvents containing PNG compressed images.

This class shares a lot of non-PNG specific code with JPEGGenerator, so you may want to replicate any changes made in that class as well.

Todo:
create a common super class with JPEGGenerator to hold common setup code

Public Types

 SRC_AUTO
 if src is not a InterleavedYUVGenerator, SRC_GREYSCALE, otherwise SRC_COLOR
 SRC_GRAYSCALE
 indicates each channel of source should be compressed individually as grayscale images
 SRC_COLOR
 indicates first channel should be in an interleaved layout which can be compressed into a "color" image
enum  src_mode_t { SRC_AUTO, SRC_GRAYSCALE, SRC_COLOR }
 defines how to interpret the source images (see srcMode and curMode) More...

Public Member Functions

 PNGGenerator (unsigned int mysid, FilterBankGenerator *fbg, EventBase::EventTypeID_t tid)
 constructor
 PNGGenerator (unsigned int mysid, PNGGenerator::src_mode_t sMode, FilterBankGenerator *fbg, EventBase::EventTypeID_t tid)
 constructor
virtual ~PNGGenerator ()
 destructor
virtual void setSourceMode (src_mode_t mode)
 set srcMode and curMode as well if mode==SRC_AUTO
virtual src_mode_t getSourceMode () const
 returns srcMode
virtual src_mode_t getCurrentSourceFormat () const
 returns curMode
virtual void processEvent (const EventBase &event)
 should receive FilterBankEvents from a RawCameraGenerator (or a subclass thereof)
virtual unsigned int getBinSize () const
 if we don't already know bytesUsed, let's assume the size will be smaller than the original uncompressed. If we fail this assumption, probably better to fail anyway.
virtual unsigned int loadBuffer (const char buf[], unsigned int len)
virtual unsigned int saveBuffer (char buf[], unsigned int len) const
 you probably don't want to be calling this to access the PNG -- use getImage() instead (saveBuffer will prepend some header information before the actual image data)
virtual unsigned int getImageSize (unsigned int layer, unsigned int chan) const
 returns the number of bytes used for the image returned by getImage() - will return 0 if the image hasn't been calculated yet (so call it after getImage())

Static Public Member Functions

static std::string getClassDescription ()
 Gives a short description of what this class of behaviors does... you should override this (but don't have to).

Static Public Attributes

static const unsigned int PNG_HEADER_PAD = 500
 add a bit to the expected size in getBinSize just to leave a little extra room for small images

Protected Member Functions

virtual void setNumImages (unsigned int nLayers, unsigned int nChannels)
 resizes the filter bank information storage area, you should override this to do your setup and call it from your constructor
virtual unsigned char * createImageCache (unsigned int layer, unsigned int chan) const
 create new image data storage area for the cache - this called by getImage() only when the corresponding entry in images is NULL
virtual void calcImage (unsigned int layer, unsigned int chan)
 should calculate new image data, called by getImage() only when imageValids indicates the image being requested is dirty (and only after getImage() has already called createImageCache())
virtual void destruct ()
 deletes the arrays

Protected Attributes

src_mode_t srcMode
 how to interpret source channel of next filter bank event
src_mode_t curMode
 how to interpret getImage's current image
unsigned int ** bytesUsed
 number of bytes used per image to actually store data;

Private Member Functions

 PNGGenerator (const PNGGenerator &fbk)
 don't call
const PNGGeneratoroperator= (const PNGGenerator &fbk)
 don't call


Member Enumeration Documentation

defines how to interpret the source images (see srcMode and curMode)

Enumerator:
SRC_AUTO  if src is not a InterleavedYUVGenerator, SRC_GREYSCALE, otherwise SRC_COLOR
SRC_GRAYSCALE  indicates each channel of source should be compressed individually as grayscale images
SRC_COLOR  indicates first channel should be in an interleaved layout which can be compressed into a "color" image

Member Function Documentation

void PNGGenerator::calcImage ( unsigned int  layer,
unsigned int  chan 
) [protected, virtual]

should calculate new image data, called by getImage() only when imageValids indicates the image being requested is dirty (and only after getImage() has already called createImageCache())

This is where you'll want to put your user-specific code for calculating the image data

Implements FilterBankGenerator.

Definition at line 183 of file PNGGenerator.cc.

unsigned char * PNGGenerator::createImageCache ( unsigned int  layer,
unsigned int  chan 
) const [protected, virtual]

create new image data storage area for the cache - this called by getImage() only when the corresponding entry in images is NULL

You should return the pointer you want stored in images to be returned by any calls to getFirstRow. Interpretation of the data it points to is dependant on the the generator which creates it

Implements FilterBankGenerator.

Definition at line 178 of file PNGGenerator.cc.

static std::string PNGGenerator::getClassDescription (  )  [inline, static]

Gives a short description of what this class of behaviors does... you should override this (but don't have to).

If you do override this, also consider overriding getDescription() to return it

Reimplemented from BehaviorBase.

Definition at line 40 of file PNGGenerator.h.

unsigned int PNGGenerator::loadBuffer ( const char  buf[],
unsigned int  len 
) [virtual]

The loadBuffer() functions of the included subclasses aren't tested, so don't assume they'll work without a little debugging...

Reimplemented from FilterBankGenerator.

Definition at line 94 of file PNGGenerator.cc.

void PNGGenerator::processEvent ( const EventBase event  )  [virtual]

should receive FilterBankEvents from a RawCameraGenerator (or a subclass thereof)

The const casts in this function are regretable but necessary since the corresponding OPEN-R functions require mutable arguments, even though they shouldn't be modifying the data

Reimplemented from FilterBankGenerator.

Definition at line 55 of file PNGGenerator.cc.

void PNGGenerator::setNumImages ( unsigned int  nLayers,
unsigned int  nChannels 
) [protected, virtual]

resizes the filter bank information storage area, you should override this to do your setup and call it from your constructor

In general, it isn't expected that FilterBankGenerator's should necessarily be dynamically resizeable (although it would be nice), which is why this isn't public. If yours is, just add some pubic accessor functions which call this. In general, the included subclasses should be able to handle being resized, but there's no reason to do so since the system won't be changing its available resolutions at run time.

The default implementation is a no-op if(numLayers==nLayers && numChannels==nChannels)

Reimplemented from FilterBankGenerator.
