[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] libavfilter image transformations

[Georg Martius]

Hi,

I am the guy who wrote the stabilizer/deshaker plugin for transcode. Daniel an 
my are going to port it to ffmpeg, hopefully ;-) First of all, thank you guys 
for the helpful comments so far.

What do you mean be 1D? 
The transforms are separable into translation, rotation and scaling, but it is 
better to combine them since interpolation is required.
Just to make sure here is how these transformations are represented, see 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformation_matrix#Other_kinds_of_transformations

p'=M p where p=(x,y,1) is the source pixel coordinate in homogeneous  
coordinates. And M is the transformation matrix:
M = [sx*cos(a), sx*sin(a), tx], [-sy*sin(a), sy*cos(a), ty],[0, 0, 1]
where sx,sy are the scaling factors (usually identical), a is the rotation 
angle and tx,ty are the translations.

>Second, can they be done in fixed-point?
Well, if 16.16 this is certainly enough.

Yeah that's true. We have to sample more pixels in this case. For our original 
purposes such zoom-values are not probable, but of course we need to fix it 
here.

So far!
