ARToolKit/DS distribution for Win32/DirectShow

Dear Thomas,

well, this is very useful if it actually handle all of these, that would 
solve many problems on this list. When do you need to do software 
de-interlace? Is that when using a NTSC input?

thanks

Yohan

Subject:	ARToolKit/DS distribution for Win32/DirectShow
Hello everybody, As some of you may already know, I've put together a custom ARToolKit distribution (based on v2.65) that offers more flexible input-device abstraction under Microsoft Windows/DirectShow than v2.52 (official) and the AMIRE-version (2.65) by Jürgen Zauner/FH Hagenberg. Key features: (in addition to ARToolKit's standard functionality) * Input device abstraction through DirectShow: * Compressed IEEE-1394 DV formats, supported by a wide range of consumer camcorders. * Any camera/frame grabber with a device driver conforming to the WDM specification. * Asynchronous AVI file reader, supporting arbitrary video codecs. * Device/format selection through: WDM device name, frame size/rate, unique 64-bit IEEE-1394 identifier. * Automated color-space conversion (e.g. YUV to RGB) and decompression (e.g. 25MBit DVSD to RGB). * Optional software-deinterlacing, using MMX/SSE optimized code. The project is located at: http://www.ims.tuwien.ac.at/~thomas/artoolkit.php Hope this will be useful for some of you. Naturally, any comments and/or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Hi Yohan, Some form of deinterlacing is usually required when you're applying any image-processing algorithm to a non-progressive video signal on a per-frame (as opposed to per-field) basis. Here's a good overview of the interlacing, if you're interested: http://www.lukesvideo.com/interlacing.html While interlacing surely is a remnant of the analog days, it's still widely used, even in brand-new consumer miniDV camcorders, regardless of their video standard (PAL/NTSC/SECAM).
