Beta

This FileTools beta adds the "Kineme File Info" patch.

The File Info patch can tell you if a file exists, what kind of file it is (file, directory, symlink, etc), how big it is, when it was created, and when it was last modified. This information is helpful for intelligent caching systems.

Will probably freak out in Tiger if you feed it a non-absolute, non-~ filename.

This GLTools beta introduces the glOrtho patch.

Iterators are the worst way to make sphere-grids :) Half of them are inexplicably missing too for the screenshot. Probably due to system load or something. But you get the idea.

Here's a port of the Image Downloader (Blocking) patch to Leopard (nothing significant has change in the Tiger build).

Though a different plugin bundle is required, this should be composition-compatible (the same composition should work on Tiger and on Leopard).

No known issues, aside from the Intel GMA 950 not supporting textures larger than 2048x2048 (but this is also a problem with the built-in Image Downloader patch).

This is the initial beta release of our OpenCV Plugin.

There are some performance improvements over the previous Alpha, as well as some functionality improvements and bug fixes.

It's now possible to control how QC images are flipped when converting to OpenCV.

You can also add additional points to the optical flow patch without destroying its previous input. Currently, I do this with the Structure Maker patch (because it's already written), but if y'all think an OpenCV-Specific patch would be appropriate, I can make that too.

The OpenCV Camera input was disabled (It's impossibly slow on Intel macs, and it hangs on ppc macs). Placing such a patch in your composition will not do anything.

Added cvFindChessboardCorners -- this is a prerequisite for camera undistortion (unavailable currently), orientation (also unavailable), and perhaps POSIT stuff too (unavailable). If you're familiar with the OpenCV API, or know how to turn a collection of Chessboard Corners into a useful structure for other OpenCV functions, please let me know (I'm struggling a bit to figure out how it works.. the cv demos that use these function just produce garbage for me)

PPC may have some colorspace issues (blue/red tints), please let me know and supply examples so I can test better.

This is a 32-bit only plugin for now, so it won't work in 64-bit applications/runtimes.

Both provided demos require the GLTools plugin, and benefit from the YUV Colorspace plugin. The VideoTrack demo also requires the Structure Maker Plugin for live input. These dependencies are just because I was lazy and didn't feel like swapping everything out to QC-built-in stuff.

Face detection kind of works, but it's so slow you have to use swear words to describe it ;) It's also a bit wonky sometimes, even with identical input to the demos... still looking into that.

This beta cleans up the User Interface a bit, and adds support for Skipping unplugged inputs.

If possible, could someone test this on Tiger and see if it functions as expected? If so, it's probably ready for an initial public release.
