This is mainly a maintaince commit which syncs changes
between Blender and Libmv upstream also bringing new
GLog version.
This GLog version is presumably have better support of
MinGW from "the box".
This commit is also aimed to make further 3d part libs
update easier.
Also made libmv-capi use guarded objetc allocation.
Run into some suspecious cases when it was not so
clear whether memory is being freed or not.
Now we'll know for sure whether there're leaks or not :)
Having this macros in a guardedalloc header helps
using them in other areas (for now it's OCIO and libmv,
but in the future it'll be more places).
Makes code in tracking.cc much easier to understand and modify,
without worring to breck compulation with Libmv disabled.
It is still possible compilation will break due to libmv-capi
changes, but that's not happening so much often.
Also made it theraded linear solver, seems it makes
sense for iterative schur with inner iterations
enabled.
Use OpenMO's max therads called from bundler code
to detect how many threads to use. Could be changed
in a way that number of threads is passing in options
from blender side in the future.
Also removed redundant V3D definition from compiler's
flags.
With new bundle adjustment based on Ceres we don't need
SSBA library anymore. This also means we don't need ldl
library and libmv is no longer depends on colamd as well.
SSBA seemed to be working OK last time i've checked it
with MSVC and optimization enabled.
Also, we'll likely replace it with own BA soon, which
works fine with MSVC anyway.
libmv still requires optimization switched off because
of some incompatibility of SSBA and MSVC optimizer which
makes bundle adjustment work just wrong.
This shall not be an issue for Ceres and no need to
disable optimization for extern_ceres
- move object_iterators.c --> view3d_iterators. (ED_object.h had to include ED_view3d.h which isn't so nice)
- move projection functions from view3d_view.c --> view3d_project.c (view3d_view was becoming a mishmash of utility functions and operators).
- some some cmake includes as system-includes.
Currently only put sources of Ceres library into extern/libmv/third_party and
setup CMake and SCons building systems.
Integration details:
- Even CMake build files are not re-used from Ceres's trunk: they're using some
automatic stuff detection like glog, pthreads, protobuf and so and it's not
so clear how to re-use that files without modifications.
And IMO it's easier if build files are getting re-generated automatically to
match Blender-specific setup rather than keeping changes made locally in
Blender in sync when re-bundling Ceres library. Especially in case when it's
already needed to support SCons build system.
- Integrated only actual sources, all tests were stripped. Probably it'll be nice
to have them, but they'll need clear integration with current module test stuff
in Blender.
- Suitesparse was disabled. It'll help a lot having it, but there are some difficulties
making cholmod working fine on windows. Would be added in future
- collections_port.cc was also stripped. It's not used by Ceres's upstream and
it gives compilation error (undefined uint32 -- looks like namespace issue).
- Currently all schur eliminators are included. Not sure if it makes sense,
also not sure if it makes sense having them switchable on and off -- IMO better
to have single configuration which works and does not require special tweaks
after everything was set up.
To bundle updated version of Ceres:
- Go to extern/libmv/third_party/ceres folder
- Run ./bundle.sh
This will checkout fresh Ceres snapshot of Windows branch (which is currently
most interesting from integration into Blender POV), apply all patches listed
in patches/series and copy needed files into Blender's working copy. This will
also re-generate CMake/SCons build rules.
If you'll need extra files from Ceres repository which are not present in
Blender, you'll need to copy them manually and then run ./mkfiles.sh from
extern/libmv/third_party/ceres folder which will update list of files used
by Blender.
Thanks to Leir Mierle and Sameer Agarwal (and all others who helped developing
Ceres) this library and thanks to Keir Mierle with help integrating it into Blender!
It was error in CMakeLists.txt caused by automatic bundling script which
expanded variables instead of substituting them as-is.
Fixed both of bundling script and CMakeLists.txt
===========================
Commiting camera tracking integration gsoc project into trunk.
This commit includes:
- Bundled version of libmv library (with some changes against official repo,
re-sync with libmv repo a bit later)
- New datatype ID called MovieClip which is optimized to work with movie
clips (both of movie files and image sequences) and doing camera/motion
tracking operations.
- New editor called Clip Editor which is currently used for motion/tracking
stuff only, but which can be easily extended to work with masks too.
This editor supports:
* Loading movie files/image sequences
* Build proxies with different size for loaded movie clip, also supports
building undistorted proxies to increase speed of playback in
undistorted mode.
* Manual lens distortion mode calibration using grid and grease pencil
* Supervised 2D tracking using two different algorithms KLT and SAD.
* Basic algorithm for feature detection
* Camera motion solving. scene orientation
- New constraints to "link" scene objects with solved motions from clip:
* Follow Track (make object follow 2D motion of track with given name
or parent object to reconstructed 3D position of track)
* Camera Solver to make camera moving in the same way as reconstructed camera
This commit NOT includes changes from tomato branch:
- New nodes (they'll be commited as separated patch)
- Automatic image offset guessing for image input node and image editor
(need to do more tests and gather more feedback)
- Code cleanup in libmv-capi. It's not so critical cleanup, just increasing
readability and understanadability of code. Better to make this chaneg when
Keir will finish his current patch.
More details about this project can be found on this page:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Nazg-gul/GSoC-2011
Further development of small features would be done in trunk, bigger/experimental
features would first be implemented in tomato branch.
