From nikom@merl.com Mon, 04 Oct 1999 11:43:21 -0400 Date: Mon, 04 Oct 1999 11:43:21 -0400 From: Jacob Nikom nikom@merl.com Subject: Question about compression algorithm Thank you for pointing me to the right source. I have read the material but still have some questions. Measuring the number of bytes which camera sends, I found that it differs between frames obviously due to compression. According to the compression algorithm if the pixel did not change between frames (with some threshold) its difference value is 0. Nevertheless, the camera still has to send this pixel to the host, otherwise you loose the location of this zero pixel. Does it mean that the compression algorithm works only by compressing the dynamic range of the pixels, not their spatial information? Also, is this way of compression common for all CCD and/or CMOS sensors? Is there any "standard" set of commands for CMOS sensors or every company like Photobit or VLSI Vision produces its own "silicon vision machine"?

No, you can index the pixels that change and send only those.

I was able to install ppcuscpia driver run all Linux WebCam II software successfully on my another Linux machine - Pentium III. I thought the move to laptop is going to be very smooth - wrong! The laptop system successfully runs NT4.0 and Linux 6.0. After some tweaking with parallel port and external keyboard socket I succeeded with running WebCamII and ISpy on NT using Creative Labs' NT driver. However, when I tried to install ppcuscpia driver I got problems. I used depmod -a and modprobe commands to download the driver on my desktop (insmod could not locate all symbols) Here, on laptop it reported: device is busy. If I remove parport_probe and parport_pc modules it cannot resolve all symbols, but does not report about busy device. In both cases the drive is not loaded. Do you have any ideas?

I will make a clean patch later today. This e-mail is just here to stop all the DMA-coders all over the world from further wasting their time. ;) I hoped that DMA will increase frame-rate and thruput. But sad enough that is not the case. That seems to be caused by some not yet tracked down problem. I suspect the handshake or the camera setup. In any case, what will DMA do/not do? - reduces CPU-load on my machine (PII/330) from 60% to 10% for CIF/uncompressed operation :-) - if someone is bored enough to code it decoding and datatransfer could now be parallelized, this might increase frame rate on slow CPUs - is written with documentation about one specific io-chip. I have no idea if it works for other chip-sets as well. Actually, I have no idea what chip-set my computer uses. ;) - is maybe Intel-specific, the code might not even compile on other architectures. But since I have no access to such beasts I have no idea. - is not tested with regard to SMP. It will likely crash those boxes or at least annihilate performance. I would be interested in some tests with slower machines. So if you happen to own that 486 or 90Mhz Pentium give it a try and let me know.

If you promise to test the dma-version and tell me where I can get the mcam-software I will help. ;) The cpia-0.2.3 test-client using DMA was running at my working place (knfs, e-mail, www, kernel-compilation, ...) for about 6 hours without any problem. There was no remarkable performance loss (linux 2.2.12, PII330, 128M) except the slight irritation always looking at the own face. About the v4l-status: I have a running version (polling and not interrupt driven but it DMA-based) that needs some cleanup. Since it still kills the kernel during device-close in some circumstances (if the close is due to a sigint of the user-space process it stalls the machine, a sigterm is no problem -> anyone knows what to look for?) I will not release it immediatly. Also there are some cleanups in the v4l-api necessary. That stuff is so badly documented that I have to write the driver after the applications and not after the specification. So if there is any v4l-application that should run tell me now. -Peter ------------------------------- Email: Peter.Pregler@risc.uni-linz.ac.at WWW: http://www.risc.uni-linz.ac.at/people/ppregler ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this mailinglist, send the line "unsubscribe vision-webcam" in the body of a message to "majordomo@errors.no".

There is also no v4l2 driver yet. And as far as I am concerned I will only write one if I need it personally. That may be tomorrow or in ten years.

It is based on the client example code in the driver. I have refrained from mentioning it, because it seems that using the driver directly (as opposed to using the v4l interface) was not recommended. It can also set (and read) brigthness, contrast and saturation. (It is to be used as a "survaliance" application, but I am having problems with the EDP mode on the IBM machine that I have as target. On my test machine, it works perfect. ) If you are interessted in the source, write me. It is my intention to mail it to the driver maintainers, when I had burnt it in some more.

I guess the camera is in a undefined state. Is the problem persistent until you unload the module or do things work after another call? There is some reset-camera code in the main.cc. Can you try that out? If not the problem is in the driver close-device code. -Peter ------------------------------- Even the thought that a ship was waiting to take him back to Earth did not wipe out the sense of loss he felt at that moment. ------------------------------- Email: Peter.Pregler@risc.uni-linz.ac.at Peter Pregler / RISC, University of Linz, Austria ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this mailinglist, send the line "unsubscribe vision-webcam" in the body of a message to "majordomo@errors.no".

The problem is that the interface (syntax _AND_ semantics) is not stable. There is no intention to take care of any backward compatibility (see the change between 0.2.1 and 0.2.2). That is the sole reason for 'not recommended'. About v4l: there are certain things one just cannot do with the v4l-interface (one has to misuse unspecified flags to implement things like aperture/gain/compression control) since it is tailored after the bttv-driver. Therefore the API is very limited which was, IIRC, one of the main reasons to specify v4l2. So unless someone writes the v4l2 API there is good reason to use the native cpia-interface. But only if you need the full functionality to control the camera. > It can also set (and read) brigthness, contrast and saturation.

On my test machine, it > works perfect. ) Could you be a bit more elaborate on this. Do you suppose the problem is in the ECP-driver or in your application? Setting brightness, contrast, compression does work well on the fly in my v4l-code. For setting the image size you will have to switch off streaming first. Otherwise it has no effect. -Peter ------------------------------- Even the thought that a ship was waiting to take him back to Earth did not wipe out the sense of loss he felt at that moment. ------------------------------- Email: Peter.Pregler@risc.uni-linz.ac.at Peter Pregler / RISC, University of Linz, Austria ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this mailinglist, send the line "unsubscribe vision-webcam" in the body of a message to "majordomo@errors.no".

The software provided reset code did not work. And I have progressed enough that I now have a file. Although I now have a new problem... (of course) I am using 2 diffrent image decoding samples but neither of them seam to work. I have included both below with examples of the images they produce. ***********Number 1*********** fprintf(fptr, "P6\n%i %i\n255\n", xsize, ysize); for (x = 0; x < xsize; x++) { for (y = 0; y < ysize; y++) { fprintf (fptr, "%c%c%c", inbuffer[0], inbuffer[1], inbuffer[2]); inbuffer += 4; } } ***********Number 2*********** fprintf(fptr, "P6\n%i %i\n255\n", xsize, ysize); for(i = 0; i < rgb_size; i += 3) { fwrite(inbuffer + i + 2, 1, 1, fptr); fwrite(inbuffer + i + 1, 1, 1, fptr); fwrite(inbuffer + i, 1, 1, fptr); } grrrrr....

The software provided reset code did not work. I noticed that yesterday evening while debugging the v4l-module. I have a look at that. > grrrrr....

Oh well I guess I can help you with that. ;) I have w3cam (a v4l-webcam) running with my driver. The w3cam also includes a utility called vidcat and I can do a 'vidcat -f jpeg -s 352x240|xv -' without a problem. Guess that is what you need. Have a look at http://lugburz.risc.uni-linz.ac.at/ for my test-setup. I have no idea if it is stable. But on the localhost it is working well. I will let it run and if things look stable enough I will release the first v4l-driver before weekend. About your decoding stuff: looks like you mix up image formats (bytes per pixel, width, height). -Peter ------------------------------- Email: Peter.Pregler@risc.uni-linz.ac.at WWW: http://www.risc.uni-linz.ac.at/people/ppregler ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this mailinglist, send the line "unsubscribe vision-webcam" in the body of a message to "majordomo@errors.no".

The problem is either in the (linux kernel?) ECP driver or the (more likely) hardware; no matter how I set the bios, the parallelport keeps coming up as "SPP" in /proc/parport/0/hardware (before loading the cpia module). This is redhat 6.0; kernel 2.2.5-15 So, I need either new kernel or new hardware (I am looking at the last bit). I am a bit pressed for time, but I will let you know when and if I get it to work.

Is N something like 0x378? No, that is the dma-channel and not the io-port. In intel-land this is something between 0-7 which you normally set in the bios (or a jumper for old boards ;). As for alpha I have no idea where the association dma-channel/parport is defined. -Peter ------------------------------- Email: Peter.Pregler@risc.uni-linz.ac.at WWW: http://www.risc.uni-linz.ac.at/people/ppregler ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this mailinglist, send the line "unsubscribe vision-webcam" in the body of a message to "majordomo@errors.no".

I was able to install ppcuscpia driver run all Linux WebCam II software successfully on my another Linux machine - Pentium III. I thought the move to laptop is going to be very smooth - wrong! The laptop system successfully runs NT4.0 and Linux 6.0. After some tweaking with parallel port and external keyboard socket I succeeded with running WebCamII and ISpy on NT using Creative Labs' NT driver. However, when I tried to install ppcuscpia driver I got problems. I used depmod -a and modprobe commands to download the driver on my desktop (insmod could not locate all symbols) Here, on laptop it reported: device is busy. If I remove parport_probe and parport_pc modules it cannot resolve all symbols, but does not report about busy device. In both cases the drive is not loaded. Do you have any ideas?

I tried something similar. Have you tried doing this with an external keyboard? Does your keyboard work? In my case, I think the kernel shuts down the ps2 port to the keyboard during boot, and therefore there is no power to the camera.

I thin kyou need the parport modules. The reason you do not get device busy is probably because you never get to the stage where the module try to access the camera.

I do know of at least one type of laptop where the Creative Webcam II does not work (not under win*) because of some power issue (somehow confirmed with tech-support).

I already posted my question a couple of weeks ago and did not get any responses, so I felt like asking strange question. Now I see that other people have problems with laptops - at least I am not alone. Answer to Peter's suggestion about running WebCam on NT. Yes, I was able to run it on my laptop using Windows NT. I had some problem with NT driver installation but finally I solved it. My problem with WebCamII and Linux is that I cannot install the cpia driver - it reports that "the device is busy". I have feeling if I could install the driver, it is going to work. Actually I am not installing the latest version of the cpia driver, but the one which already worked on my desktop. Are they equivalent with different hardware? Also, ThinkPad has different way of setting up the parallel port parameters. It is doing it not through usual BIOS setting procedure which is OS independent. It does it through NT special routine. First, you have to download NT to manage your parallel port setting and after that reboot Linux. So I am not exactly sure how parallel port parameters stay during another kernel reboot. What could be different in parallel port on ThinkPad from usual parallel port? How I can verify the parallel port parameters being in Linux? Is there any way to get more information about the problem than "the device is busy"?

Yes and no. It depends on how you set up your hardware.

I don't know anything about that. Ask the linux-parport guys about that. For the Webcam I have to assume that you configured your parport correctly. > What could be different in parallel port on ThinkPad from > usual parallel port?

How to find out if your parport is configured correctly: you should get the following after doing a 'modprobe parport_probe' (under the assumption that you compiled the kernel with parport_probe support, otherwise do a 'modprobe parport_pc' and see what happens): parport0: PC-style at 0x378, dma 3 [SPP,ECP,ECPEPP,ECPPS2] parport0: detected irq 7; use procfs to enable interrupt-driven operation. parport0: read2 timeout. parport0: Multimedia device, VLSI Vision Ltd PPC2 Camera The numbers may vary. That is no harm. Important is that you have ECP-support. For the 'dma N' to appear you need some setting in your modutil package. Maybe ignore that for now. The thing will work without that too. The read2 timeout can be ignored too. -Peter ------------------------------- Email: Peter.Pregler@risc.uni-linz.ac.at WWW: http://www.risc.uni-linz.ac.at/people/ppregler ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this mailinglist, send the line "unsubscribe vision-webcam" in the body of a message to "majordomo@errors.no".

You need the kernel-headers of the actual kernel you are running to compile the module. Apparently they are not in your compile-include path (see the implicit declaration warning). -Peter ------------------------------- Email: Peter.Pregler@risc.uni-linz.ac.at WWW: http://www.risc.uni-linz.ac.at/people/ppregler ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this mailinglist, send the line "unsubscribe vision-webcam" in the body of a message to "majordomo@errors.no".
