Microservice to transform an input image in (A)RGB/(A)BGR format to I420

This repository provides source code to transform an input image in (A)RGB/(A)BGR format residing in a shared memory to an image in I420 residing in a new shared memory suitable for subsequent video compression.

Dependencies

You need a C++14-compliant compiler to compile this project.

The following dependency is part of the source distribution:

• libcluon -

The following dependency is downloaded and installed during the Docker-ized build:

• libyuv - - Google Patent License Conditions

Usage

To run this microservice using docker-compose, you can simply add the following section to your docker-compose.yml:

version: '2' # Must be present exactly once at the beginning of the docker-compose.yml file
services:    # Must be present exactly once at the beginning of the docker-compose.yml file
    argb2i420:
        image: chalmersrevere/argb2i420-multi:v0.0.1
        restart: on-failure
        ipc: "host"
        volumes:
        - /tmp:/tmp
        environment:
        - DISPLAY=${DISPLAY}
        command: "--in=img.argb --width=640 --height=480 --argb --out=imgout.i420"

As this microservice is connecting to an existing shared memory to read the (A)RGB/(A)BGR image for transform it into a new shared memory area using SysV IPC, the docker-compose.yml file specifies the use of ipc:host. The folder /tmp is shared into the Docker container to provide tokens describing the shared memory areas. The parameters to the application are:

• --in: Name of the shared memory area containing the (A)RBG/(A)BGR image
• --out: Name of the shared memory area to be created for the I420 image
• --width: Width of the input image
• --height: Height of the input image
• --argb: Format of the input image (choose exactly one!)
• --rgb: Format of the input image (choose exactly one!)
• --abgr: Format of the input image (choose exactly one!)
• --bgr: Format of the input image (choose exactly one!)
• --verbose: Display decoding information and render the image to screen (requires X11; run xhost + to allow access to you X11 server)

Build from sources on the example of Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

To build this software, you need cmake, C++14 or newer, libyuv, libvpx, and make. Having these preconditions, just run cmake and make as follows:

mkdir build && cd build
cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make && make test && make install
