XVision Software
Availability
XVision is available for noncommercial use
here.
If you actively use or extend the package, please send a note to
CIPS since we like to keep a
list of users. This helps us to justify the effort in releasing developed software, and
lets us update you on future releases. It is also useful for us to know who is doing what
with xvision, so that we can collaborate with others to extend the xvision package.
Software Release Notes
-Version 2.0-lite (released 01/18/02)-
The latest Version is adapted to the new Linux architecture and it should
compile on 2.4.x systems (see INSTALL file in the distribution). It includes Ieee1394 extension for Firewire Digital Cameras (not camcorders) now.
-Version 1.3a (released 12/10/97)-
This version is currently being used at Yale on a PC running Linux, two SGI machines
running Irix, and numerous Sun Sparcstations running Solaris 2.x. It includes more bug fixes,
a number of test programs, and a templated class for image storage. The test programs
demonstrate functional Line, Corner, Blob, and SSD tracking. Contour tracking is not
demonstrated, although it was working at a previous point in time. NT users: we are in
the process of porting this release to the NT operating system, so check back soon.
-Version 1.2b (released 1/24/97)-
This is an update of an "unofficial" release, 1.2a. The differences between the latter and
the former are mostly small bug fixes, a variety of cleanups, and some additional device
support including MPEG and Sun Camera. The major differences over 1.02b are the following:
- A reorganization of the software tree.
- A revamping of the way the software is configured to make it easier to run on different platforms.
- The addition of color support.,
- The addition of a blob tracking package.
- A variety of video support extensions.
- The incorporation of automatic time-history support for feature state.
- The incorporation of a variety of devices for Linux.
- The on-going creation of class-by-class,
online documentation set which gives an overview of all of the components that make up XVision.
This should be complete by Version 1.3.
-Version 1.02b (released 10/95)-
Tracking.1.02b.tar.Z(300kb) was released in October, 1995. It has been successfully compiled
and executed on Sun Sparcstations running SunOS 4.1.x or Solaris 2.x. and on SGI Indigos
running IRIX 5.3. The documentation
might help a little, but is out of date. Though nominally still a beta version, Tracking.1.02b should
be less buggy than the older version, Tracking.1.00a.tar.Z(1.0Mb).
Documentation
The most recent paper
documenting the XVision package is out of date, but might help you get started. We are
also buliding HTML documentation which you can
view online. Keep checking in for improvements.
Demo Programs
There are currently seven demonstration programs which are included with the full software release.
Commented source code for these programs can be viewed online, and precompiled binaries can be
downloaded here.
