Re: YUV Overlay

Hi, can you paste a complete example please? Maybe with a link to a test
video file.

What I would try first is SDL's latest release, which is 2.540 or so.

Cheers, FROGGS

 One thing that seems odd to me in the Perl docs is:

 Not to be deterred, I wrote this code:

 my $pixels = $overlay-pixels;
 $$pixels[0] = $last_vid_frame[0];

 SDL::Video::unlock_YUV_overlay( $overlay );

 SDL::Video::update_rects( $sdl, $bg_rect );
 SDL::Video::display_YUV_overlay( $sdl, $bg_rect );

 When I run this, I get an error about not being able to find the
 pitches() method against the class SDL::Overlay.  Eh?  (Same thing
 happens for the pixels() method if I put that call first.) I can call
 width() and format() and such just fine on that object.

 If needed, I can handle the overlay entirely at the C level.  I may
 end up doing that anyway; the C array that comes out of ffmpeg is
 being transformed into a Perl array-of-arrays, which is going to be an
 expensive operation to do for 720p at 30 fps in realtime. But I'd like
 to try this at the Perl level for now.

 I might also have to convert the output from ffmpeg using
 sws_scale().  It's coming out in YUV420P mode, and I'm using YV12 to
 init the overlay. But I'd like to get the above working before messing
 with that.

Can we run this with out needing ARDdrone?

 I'll try to come up with a more concise example later this evening.

Re: YUV Overlay

2013-07-24 Thread tmurray
Yes.  For my own testing purposes, it's not always convenient to 
connect to the ARDrone, so I overrode much of the behavior in Mock 
classes.


For decoding the video stream to a file, you can do:

$ uav_video_dump --in t_data/ardrone_video_stream_dump.bin --out 
/tmp/ardrone_video_stream_dump.h264


And then play the out file in a mplayer or vlc.  Mplayer might need you 
to manually set the -fps option (set to 25, I think), or it will 
mangle the output.


Playing the video in real time should work with:

$ uav_video_display --in t_data/ardrone_video_stream_dump.bin

Which should pop up the SDL window, and then dump a bunch of error 
messages to the console. This is the one I'm trying to get working here.

Timm

Re: YUV Overlay

2013-07-24 Thread tmurray

I've made a simplified, standalone example:

http://pastebin.com/dPPNc8VL

The big array at the top is a single YUV420P frame.  Expected behavior 
is to display that frame in a window for 5 seconds, and then quit.  If I 
comment out the overlay handling, it displays a green background.


I've verified that I'm running SDL 2.540.
