gstreamer/ext/tarkin/TODO
Wim Taymans 57ce0321c8 Added a tarkin encoder/decoder plugin.
Original commit message from CVS:
Added a tarkin encoder/decoder plugin.

I moved the tarking CVS code in here temporarily until they have a
library (hence this plugin is in ext)

test with:

./gst-launch filesrc location=/opt/data/shihad.mpg ! mpegdemux video_00! { queue ! mpeg2dec ! colorspace ! tarkinenc bitrate=3000 ! disksink location=out.ogg }

./gst-launch filesrc location=out.ogg ! tarkindec ! colorspace ! xvideosink

Most important things:
- the entropy coder, replace static huffman
- clean up the pnsr tools
- write docs and do some performance analysis, compare to other codecs
- think about a multiresolution multidimensional motion flow detection scheme,
Marco posted a good paper comparing different algorithms to do this
Open bugs and stuff required to fix them:
- wavelet xform bug at short rows, see workaround in wavelet_xform.c
- (4,x) and (x,4) wavelet implementations have a bug which causes round-off
errors in the two least significand bits
Wavelet-related TODO's:
- remove unecessairy copying in inverse xform
- improve truncation table setup
- try other approaches to encode coefficients, jack was talking about VQ
and reuse vorbis code
- write avitotarkin/quicktimetotarkin/mpegtotarkin/player/recorder
(a libsndfile/libaudiofile/libao alike video library would be great !)
- profile
- add special transform functions for large strides to prevent cache misses
- mmx/3dnow/sse/altivec
Other:
- u and v buffers could get quarter size already at color conversion
this would speed up the whole algorithm; perhaps this should get
configurable
- fast internal 16bitY/U/V->15/16bitRGB for display could make sense
- the wavelet codec could be used for still image compression too
(we just have to define a file format with all goodies you can imagine;)
- to make it perfect someone has to write a good bilevel compressor and
mask seperation algorithm
