Projects and proposals

There are three major projects:

1. C++ core functions
2. GUI development in Python, using TraitsUI and PyQt
3. New algorithms and extensions (use any platform - Matlab, Python or C++)

Goals to consider

1. Remain cross-platform
2. Maximize processing efficiency
3. Minimize number of required libraries

1. C++ core functions project:

1. URAPIV-C++ tests and debugging (starting from the source tarball _0.1)

2. GUI development in Python, using TraitsUI and PyQt

1. Develop GUI using TraitsUI, identical to Qt GUI from URAPIV-C++ (see the snapshot and /PyQT branch)

2. Develop Python callback functions (using PyPIV functions as a basis)

3. Develop Python-C++ bindings to allow use of URAPIV-C++ core functions from the GUI

3. New algorithms and extensions (use any platform - Matlab, Python or C++)

General Processing Preparations

1. Multi-threading support

• Multi-core machines
• Allow for distributed processing on a network

2. Image masking

• Line and arc based image masking
• "Snap" CAD-like drawing for image masking

Processing Schemes

1. Image deformation

• 1st order
• 2nd order

2. Direct correlation

3. Rectangular grid

• Function that does 2D-FFT on rectangular domain
• Function that does 2D correlation on rectangular domain based on 2D-FFT
• connect your function to the GUI (see project above)

Input/Output

1. HDF5 output (and input for vector display)

2. Cross-platform image pair extraction from common video formats
