CCSv5.1 Image Analyzer

Alex
Expert 2430 points

The image display plug-in is rather limited as compared to the one used in CCS v.3.3.  The main roadblock is we now no longer have the ability to specify orientation.  On a more minor note, the lack of cursor modes (zoom and data) are also sorely missed.

On a HUGE plus note, I can now view images stored in Bayer format (which works out nicely since that's how our sensor sends us the data).

So two questions.

  1. Are there any plans to restore any of CCS v.3.3's functionality?
  2. If not, since I am using CCSv.5.1(M7), are there any good free eclipse plug-ins out there that will do the job.  (Requirements:  Understand Bayer and YUV data formats and allow for orientation adjustment.)

    The request to be able to use cursor for moving is already captured in a enhancement request SDSCM00020574. I am not sure when it will be implemented though.

    Regarding the ability to adjust orientation, can you elaborate on what you are asking for so I can file an enhancement request with the accurate information.

    I don't have first hand information on other image viewing plugins, but please check the Eclipse marketplace to see if there are compatible plugins.

    Regarding orientation, it would be super clear if I could post a sample image, but for NDA reasons, I can't. Basically, since memory is stored on the DSP in a linear order, and one is just telling the plug-in to map that 1-D memory space into a 2-D space (rows x columns), we need the ability to tell the plug-in which corner is stored first (at row 0, col 0).

    In my case, without getting too specific, the resulting image if drawn from left to right is actually the mirror image of what I actually processing, i.e., I need it drawn from right to left.

    Put more simply (for official "enhancement request" purposes), please add the ability to flip the image on either axis:  left/right or up/down.

    About marketplace, yeah, I already looked there, but all image related plug-ins were for displaying image files.  I need to be able to view the data in the debugger directly from DSP memory.

     

    Thanks!

    Hi Alex,

    To zoom in and out use the magnifying buttons in the view toolbar. Clicking in the image area will show you the pixel position and values. Can you explain exactly what operation you are referring to by orientation adjustment? Are you referring to the Image Origin property in CCS 3.3? 

    Regards,

    Oliver

    Yes, exactly.  I am looking for the equivalent of CCS v.3.3's "Image Origin" property.

    Regarding zooming, yes, of course the magnifying buttons zoom the image.  What's missing the ability to zoom in on an area via the mouse using a bounding rectangle.  In CCS v.3.3, that's what "Zoom Cursor" mode was for, as opposed to "Data Cursor" mode.

    Alex,

    Thanks for the clarification. I filed enhancement SDSCM00041779 for area zooming.

    Regards,
