Re: Speed comparison with imageData 1920x1080

2017-06-28 Thread hh via use-livecode
The canvas2d dataURL-methods (and LC's base64-methods) are so far optimized that
it is even slower if one directly sends and receives arrays, I tried it.

There could be more gain (what would give a speed-up-factor of up to 500) by
using webGL, but this has issues with some 'black-listed' graphic cards. Also
this is interesting for video-postprocessing/ animations/ 3D-Rendering only.

For image processing canvas2d is fast enough and _very_ comfortable for complex
filtering by internally using Uint8ClampedArrays.
My HTML5/JS template given in the speedCcomparison stack is as simple as 
possible
so that for a LiveCoder who ever worked with imageData, to write the basic image
filters is learned in 15 minutes.

The LC Script version is, TMHO, rather fast (feel free to improve it).
The HTML5/js version could be optimized but that may be too hard for
the result ...
Thus the first HTML5/JS call is slower than the following (initiates
caching). The average speed improvement depends on your hardware, this
HTML5/JS version will be in average 20-60 times faster than LC Script.

Note. The improvement is mostly due to the fact, that HTML5/JS uses
your graphics hardware. With a decent graphic card the speed factor
is here (for less simple filters) up to 100.


Very interesting.  Thanks for posting that.

I wonder how much speed could be gained if we didn't need to do so much 
type coercion?
