This adds some new functions to libimage for computing distance fields
and coordinate fields. This runs on the CPU but uses an efficient
algorithm. This will initially be leveraged by the baking pipeline to
dilate charts, but could be useful in other applications.
KtxBundle is basically an in-memory representation of a KTX file.
Our primary motivation for introducing this class is to have a
structured container for block-compressed textures.
Note that this class is defined in libimage rather than libimageio.
There are several reasons for this:
1. The texel data in a KtxBundle is not meant to be decoded by the CPU.
2. It has no dependendencies on any libraries (stb_image tinyexr etc).
3. We wish to use it with WebGL, which needs to avoid using imageio.
* Introduce mipgen frontend.
For now this is fairly simple although it does let you choose a filter.
Another cool feature is that an HTML file is generated which makes it
easy to review the generated miplevels.
This does not expose the Boundary enum to users because it has not yet
been implemented in the core Image library.
* Fix up mipgen per code review.
* Overhaul the image library, Phase I.
The preps for our upcoming mipgen command line tool by adding filtering
capabilities and unit tests for a new LinearImage class, which will
subsume Image (deprecated).
Filament's new image library is composed of three components:
- LinearImage....simple 3D tensor of floats
- ImageOps.......free functions for simple transforms
- ImageSampler...high quality filtering
The old Image class was a simple untyped data blob and is now
deprecated. The new LinearImage class is always float32, and always
stores pixels in packed scanline order. This makes it easier to
implement image-based algorithms because they can be agnostic of the
underlying format.
Remaining refactorings:
- Phase II will migrate imageio to LinearImage
- Phase III will migrate all downstream tools to LinearImage
- Phase IV will remove old the Image class
* Image library code review feedback.
