Detailed Description

A set of functions performing compositing for a set of input frames.

The following diagram depicts the call flow within the compositor. Typically, an application uses one of the entry functions assembleFrames() or assembleFramesUnsorted(), but the various lower-level functions are still useful for advanced tasks, e.g., mergeFramesCPU() to perform compositing on the CPU into a main memory buffer.

static void eq::Compositor::assembleFrame	(	const Frame *	frame,
		Channel *	channel
	)		[static]

Assemble a frame into the frame buffer using the default algorithm.

Version:

1.0

Referenced by eVolve::Channel::frameAssemble().

Here is the caller graph for this function:

static uint32_t eq::Compositor::assembleFrames	(	const Frames &	frames,
		Channel *	channel,
		util::Accum *	accum
	)		[static]

Assemble all frames in an arbitrary order using the fastest implemented algorithm on the given channel.

Parameters:

frames	the frames to assemble.
channel	the destination channel.
accum	the accumulation buffer.

Returns:

the number of different subpixel steps assembled.

Version:

1.0

Referenced by eqPly::Channel::frameAssemble().

Here is the caller graph for this function:

static uint32_t eq::Compositor::assembleFramesCPU	(	const Frames &	frames,
		Channel *	channel,
		const bool	blendAlpha = false
	)		[static]

Assemble all frames in the given order in a memory buffer using the CPU before assembling the result on the given channel.

If alpha-blending is enabled, the images are blended into the intermediate image in main memory as if using: glBlendFuncSeparate( GL_ONE, GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL_ZERO, GL_SRC_ALPHA ) The resulting image is composited using glBlendFunc( GL_ONE, GL_SRC_ALPHA ) into the current framebuffer.

Parameters:

frames	the frames to assemble.
channel	the destination channel.
blendAlpha	blend color-only images if they have an alpha channel

Returns:

the number of different subpixel steps assembled (0 or 1).

Version:

1.0

static uint32_t eq::Compositor::assembleFramesSorted	(	const Frames &	frames,
		Channel *	channel,
		util::Accum *	accum,
		const bool	blendAlpha = false
	)		[static]

Assemble all frames in the given order using the fastest implemented algorithm on the given channel.

For alpha-blending see comment for assembleFramesCPU().

Parameters:

frames	the frames to assemble.
channel	the destination channel.
accum	the accumulation buffer.
blendAlpha	blend color-only images if they have an alpha channel

Returns:

the number of different subpixel steps assembled.

Version:

1.0

Referenced by eVolve::Channel::frameAssemble().

Here is the caller graph for this function:

static uint32_t eq::Compositor::assembleFramesUnsorted	(	const Frames &	frames,
		Channel *	channel,
		util::Accum *	accum
	)		[static]

Assemble all frames in the order they become available directly on the given channel.

Parameters:

frames	the frames to assemble.
channel	the destination channel.
accum	the accumulation buffer.

Returns:

the number of different subpixel steps assembled.

Version:

1.0

static void eq::Compositor::assembleImage	(	const Image *	image,
		const ImageOp &	operation
	)		[static]

Assemble an image into the frame buffer.

Parameters:

image	the input image.
operation	an ImageOp struct describing the operation.

static void eq::Compositor::assembleImage2D	(	const Image *	image,
		const ImageOp &	op
	)		[static]

Start a tile-based assembly of the image color attachment.

static void eq::Compositor::assembleImageDB	(	const Image *	image,
		const ImageOp &	op
	)		[static]

Start a Z-based assembly of the image color and depth attachment.

static void eq::Compositor::clearStencilBuffer

(

const ImageOp &

operation

)

[static]

Clear the stencil buffer after a pixel compound recomposition.

Parameters:

operation

the assembly parameters.

static const Image* eq::Compositor::mergeFramesCPU	(	const Frames &	frames,
		const bool	blendAlpha = false,
		const uint32_t	timeout = EQ_TIMEOUT_INDEFINITE
	)		[static]

Merge the provided frames in the given order into one image in main memory.

The returned image does not have to be freed. The compositor maintains one image per thread, that is, the returned image is valid until the next usage of the compositor in the current thread.

Version:

1.0

static bool eq::Compositor::mergeFramesCPU	(	const Frames &	frames,
		const bool	blendAlpha,
		void *	colorBuffer,
		const uint32_t	colorBufferSize,
		void *	depthBuffer,
		const uint32_t	depthBufferSize,
		PixelViewport &	outPVP,
		const uint32_t	timeout = EQ_TIMEOUT_INDEFINITE
	)		[static]

Merge the provided frames into one main memory buffer.

The callee has to allocate and clear (if needed) the output buffers to hold the necessary data. All input images have to use the same format and type, which will also be the output format. The depth buffer and depth buffer size may be 0, if the images contain no depth information.

The output pixel viewport receives the image size and offset wrt the destination channel.

Returns:

true if the compositing was successful, false otherwise, e.g., a buffer is too small.

Version:

1.0

static void eq::Compositor::setupAssemblyState	(	const PixelViewport &	pvp,
		const GLEWContext *	gl
	)		[static]

Setup the OpenGL state.

Parameters:

pvp	the current pixel viewport.
gl	the OpenGL function table

static void eq::Compositor::setupStencilBuffer	(	const Image *	image,
		const ImageOp &	operation
	)		[static]

Setup the stencil buffer for a pixel compound recomposition.

Parameters:

image	the image to be assembled.
operation	the assembly parameters.
