Detailed Description

Container for video images.

This is the standardized method of storing one frame with video data. For planar formats, the first scanline starts at planes[0], subsequent scanlines start in intervalls of strides[0] bytes. For planar formats, planes[0] will contain the luminance channel, planes[1] contains Cb (aka U), planes[2] contains Cr (aka V).

Video frames are created with gavl_video_frame_create and destroyed with gavl_video_frame_destroy. The memory can either be allocated by gavl (with memory aligned scanlines) or by the caller.

Gavl video frames are always oriented top->bottom left->right. If you must flip frames, use the functions gavl_video_frame_copy_flip_x, gavl_video_frame_copy_flip_y or gavl_video_frame_copy_flip_xy .


Function Documentation

GAVL_PUBLIC gavl_video_frame_t* gavl_video_frame_create ( const gavl_video_format_t format  ) 

Create video frame.

Parameters:
format Format of the data to be stored in this frame or NULL

Creates a video frame for a given format and allocates buffers for the scanlines. To create a video frame from your custom memory, pass NULL for the format and you'll get an empty frame in which you can set the pointers manually. If scanlines are allocated, they are padded to that scanlines start at certain byte boundaries (currently 8).

GAVL_PUBLIC gavl_video_frame_t* gavl_video_frame_create_nopad ( const gavl_video_format_t format  ) 

Create video frame without padding.

Parameters:
format Format of the data to be stored in this frame or NULL

Same as gavl_video_frame_create but omits padding, so scanlines will always be adjacent in memory.

GAVL_PUBLIC void gavl_video_frame_destroy ( gavl_video_frame_t frame  ) 

Destroy a video frame.

Parameters:
frame A video frame

Destroys a video frame and frees all associated memory. If you used your custom memory to allocate the frame, call gavl_video_frame_null before.

GAVL_PUBLIC void gavl_video_frame_null ( gavl_video_frame_t frame  ) 

Zero all pointers in the video frame.

Parameters:
frame A video frame

Zero all pointers, so gavl_video_frame_destroy won't free them. Call this for video frames, which were created with a NULL format before destroying them.

GAVL_PUBLIC void gavl_video_frame_clear ( gavl_video_frame_t frame,
const gavl_video_format_t format 
)

Fill the frame with black color.

Parameters:
frame A video frame
format Format of the data in the frame
GAVL_PUBLIC void gavl_video_frame_fill ( gavl_video_frame_t frame,
const gavl_video_format_t format,
const float *  color 
)

Fill the frame with a user spefified color.

Parameters:
frame A video frame
format Format of the data in the frame
color Color components in RGBA format scaled 0.0 .. 1.0
GAVL_PUBLIC void gavl_video_frame_absdiff ( gavl_video_frame_t dst,
const gavl_video_frame_t src1,
const gavl_video_frame_t src2,
const gavl_video_format_t format 
)

Fill the frame with the absolute differene of 2 source frames.

Parameters:
format Format of the data in the frame
dst A video frame
src1 First source frame
src2 Second source frame

Since 1.1.1

GAVL_PUBLIC void gavl_video_frame_psnr ( double *  psnr,
const gavl_video_frame_t src1,
const gavl_video_frame_t src2,
const gavl_video_format_t format 
)

Calculate the PSNR of 2 source frames.

Parameters:
psnr Returns PSNR for all components (maximum 4)
src1 First source frame
src2 Second source frame
format Format of the data in the frame

Since 1.1.1

GAVL_PUBLIC void gavl_video_frame_copy ( const gavl_video_format_t format,
gavl_video_frame_t dst,
const gavl_video_frame_t src 
)

Copy one video frame to another.

Parameters:
format The format of the frames
dst Destination
src Source

The source and destination formats must be identical, as this routine does no format conversion. The scanlines however can be padded differently in the source and destination. This function only copies the image data. For copying the metadata (timestamp etc.) use# gavl_video_frame_copy_metadata.

GAVL_PUBLIC void gavl_video_frame_copy_plane ( const gavl_video_format_t format,
gavl_video_frame_t dst,
const gavl_video_frame_t src,
int  plane 
)

Copy a single plane from one video frame to another.

Parameters:
format The format of the frames
dst Destination
src Source
plane The plane to copy

Like gavl_video_frame_copy but copies only a single plane

GAVL_PUBLIC void gavl_video_frame_copy_flip_x ( const gavl_video_format_t format,
gavl_video_frame_t dst,
const gavl_video_frame_t src 
)

Copy one video frame to another with horizontal flipping.

Parameters:
format The format of the frames
dst Destination
src Source

Like gavl_video_frame_copy but flips the image horizontally

GAVL_PUBLIC void gavl_video_frame_copy_flip_y ( const gavl_video_format_t format,
gavl_video_frame_t dst,
const gavl_video_frame_t src 
)

Copy one video frame to another with vertical flipping.

Parameters:
format The format of the frames
dst Destination
src Source

Like gavl_video_frame_copy but flips the image vertically

GAVL_PUBLIC void gavl_video_frame_copy_flip_xy ( const gavl_video_format_t format,
gavl_video_frame_t dst,
const gavl_video_frame_t src 
)

Copy one video frame to another with horizontal and vertical flipping.

Parameters:
format The format of the frames
dst Destination
src Source

Like gavl_video_frame_copy but flips the image both horizontally and vertically

GAVL_PUBLIC void gavl_video_frame_copy_metadata ( gavl_video_frame_t dst,
const gavl_video_frame_t src 
)

Copy metadata of one video frame to another.

Parameters:
dst Destination
src Source

This function only copies the metadata (timestamp, duration, timecode). For copying the image data use gavl_video_frame_copy.

Since 1.1.0.

GAVL_PUBLIC void gavl_video_frame_get_subframe ( gavl_pixelformat_t  pixelformat,
const gavl_video_frame_t src,
gavl_video_frame_t dst,
gavl_rectangle_i_t src_rect 
)

Get a subframe of another frame.

Parameters:
pixelformat Pixelformat of the frames
dst Destination
src Source
src_rect Rectangular area in the source, which will be in the destination frame

This fills the pointers of dst from src such that the dst will represent the speficied rectangular area. Note that no data are copied here. This means that dst must be created with NULL as the format argument and gavl_video_frame_null must be called before destroying dst.

When dealing with chroma subsampled pixelformats, you must call gavl_rectangle_i_align on src_rect before.

GAVL_PUBLIC void gavl_video_frame_get_field ( gavl_pixelformat_t  pixelformat,
const gavl_video_frame_t src,
gavl_video_frame_t dst,
int  field 
)

Get a field from a frame.

Parameters:
pixelformat Pixelformat of the frames
dst Destination
src Source
field Field index (0 = top field, 1 = bottom field)

This fills the pointers and strides of the destination frame such that it will represent the speficied field of the source frame. Note that no data are copied here. This means that dst must be created with NULL as the format argument and gavl_video_frame_null must be called before destroying dst.

GAVL_PUBLIC void gavl_video_frame_dump ( gavl_video_frame_t frame,
const gavl_video_format_t format,
const char *  namebase 
)

Dump a video frame to files.

Parameters:
frame Video frame to dump
format Format of the video data in the frame
namebase Base for the output filenames

This is purely for debugging purposes: It dumps each plane of the frame into files <namebase>.p1, <namebase>.p2 etc

GAVL_PUBLIC void gavl_video_frame_set_strides ( gavl_video_frame_t frame,
const gavl_video_format_t format 
)

Set the strides according to the format.

Parameters:
frame Video frame
format Format of the video data in the frame

This sets the strides array according to the format under the assumption, that no padding is done.

GAVL_PUBLIC void gavl_video_frame_set_planes ( gavl_video_frame_t frame,
const gavl_video_format_t format,
uint8_t *  buffer 
)

Set the frames according to the format.

Parameters:
frame Video frame
format Format of the video data in the frame
buffer Start of the first scanline of the first plane

This sets the planes array from a raw buffer. If frame->strides[0] is zero, gavl_video_frame_set_strides is called before.
