==Misc Scripts==
 
 
Note: Some of the instructions we have prepared are written in a way they can also be followed by people without advanced technical knowledge. If you  are more of a "techie", please keep this in mind and skip or ignore the  steps or passages which deal with information you already know.
 
==Getting Started==
 
===Prep your AXIOM Beta camera for use===
# Use a micro-USB cable to connect the camera's MicroZed development board (USB UART) to a computer. The MicroZed board is the backmost, red PCB. (There is another micro-USB socket on the Power Board, but that is the JTAG Interface.)
# Connect the ethernet port on the MicroZed to an ethernet port on your computer. You might have to use an ethernet adapter on newer, smaller machines which come without a native ethernet port.
# Connect the AC adapter to the camera's Power Board. (The power cord plugs into an adapter that connects to the Power Board; to power the camera off at a later point, you need not disconnect the adapter from the board but can just unplug the cord from the adapter.)

===Prep your computer for use with your camera===
To communicate with your AXIOM Beta camera, you will send it instructions via your computer's command line.
 
In case you have not worked with a shell (console, terminal) much or ever before, we have prepared detailed instructions to help you get you set up. The steps which need to be taken to prepare your machine sometimes differ between operating systems, so pick the ones that are applicable to you(r system).
 
Note that dollar signs <code>$</code> placed in front of commands are not meant to be typed in but denote the command line prompt (a signal indicating the computer is ready for user input). It is used in documentation to differentiate between commands and output resulting from commands. The prompt might look different on your machine (e.g. an angled bracket <code>></code>) and be preceded by your user name, computer name or the name of the directory which you are currently inside.
 
====USB to UART drivers====
For the USB connection to work, you will need drivers for bridging USB to UART (USB to serial). They [https://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/USBtoUARTBridgeVCPDrivers.aspx can be downloaded] from e.g. Silicon Labs' website – pick the software provided for your OS and install it.
 
====Serial console====
The tool we recommend for connecting to the AXIOM Beta camera via serial port with Mac OS X or Linux is [http://linux.die.net/man/1/minicom minicom]; for connections from Windows machines, we have used [http://www.putty.org Putty].
 
[[/Mac OS X setup/]]<br>
[[/Linux setup/]]
 
[[/minicom configuration/]] instructions (Mac and Linux)
 
===Serial connection (via USB)===
While the AXIOM Beta can be connected to via USB UART (USB to serial), a serial connection is not the preferred way to communicate with the camera but rather in place for monitoring purposes.
 
However, a serial connection is needed to set up communication via ethernet/LAN (the better suited way to talk to the camera): as the Beta only allows for secure ethernet connections, you will have to connect to the camera via serial port first and copy over your SSH key.
 
 
Once the Beta is connected and powered on (and you installed the necessary drivers), it gets listed as a USB device in the <code>/dev</code> directory of your file system, e.g.<br>
<code>/dev/ttyUSB0</code> (on Linux)<br>or<br>
<code>/dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART</code><br>
<code>/dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART</code> (on Mac).
 
 
You can use use a command such as:
<pre>$ ls -al /dev | grep -i usb</pre>
to list all USB devices currently connected to your machine.
 
 
==== Connecting using screen ====
To connect to the camera, use the command:
screen file_path 115200
 
e.g. (depending on your operating system):
screen /dev/ttyttyUSB0 115200
screen /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART 115200
 
You might have to run the command with superuser rights, i.e.:
sudo screen /dev/ttyttyUSB0 115200
 
 
On successful connection, you will be prompted to enter user credentials needed for logging into the camera.<br>
If your terminal remains blank, try pressing enter.
 
The default credentials are:
user: root
password: beta
 
 
====Disconnect from the camera====
To disconnect from the camera again, use:
exit
The result will be a logout message followed by a new login prompt. To suspend or quit your <code>screen</code> session (and return to your regular terminal window) use one of the following commands:
CTRL+a CTRL+z
CTRL+a CTRL+\
 
===Ethernet connection (using SSH)===
 
To access the AXIOM Beta via Ethernet – which is the preferred way to communicate with it and will also work remotely, from a machine which is not directly connected to the camera – authentication via SSH is required.
 
If you have never created SSH keys before or need a refresher in order to create a new pair, see the How-to below.
 
[[/SSH_keys/|SSH keys How-to Mac/Linux]]
 
====Get/set IP address====
 
If your machine is running '''dhcpd''' (which you would have had to install, i.e. which is not the case by default), the AXIOM Beta will request an IP address from DHCP automatically as soon as it is connected to your machine via Ethernet cable.
 
Otherwise, you will have to set the Beta's IP address manually with the <code>ifconfig</code> command.
 
=====IP address check=====
 
While connected to the AXIOM Beta via USB, you can use the command:
<pre>$ ip a l</pre>
on the Beta to check whether it is currently assigned an IP address. Find the entry which begins with <code>eth0</code> and check if it contains a line starting with <code>inet</code> followed by an IP address. If it does, this is the IP address the Beta can be reached at.
 
Example output with no IP address assigned:
<pre>TBD</pre>
 
=====Set IP address=====
 
If the IP address check is not successful – in that it does not produce an IP address you can connect to – you will have to set your Beta's IP address manually with the <code>ifconfig</code> command.
 
While connected to the Beta, you can do that like so:
<pre>$ ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.9/24 up</pre>
 
It does not really matter which IP address you choose as long as it is one allowed for private use (e.g. addresses in the <code>192.168.x.x</code> range) and you make sure to use the <code>/24</code> prefix.
 
If you now use <code>$ ip a l</code> (again) to check for the camera's IP address, you should see the address you assigned listed after <code>inet</code>, e.g.:
 
<pre>TBD</pre>
 
====Establish a connection====
 
TBD
 
==Start the camera==
 
The init script is automatically run at startup:
./kick.sh
 
This will initialize all systems and train the sensor communication.
 
==Capture an image==
 
write the image into file: snap.raw16 plus display it with imagemagick:
ssh root@*BETA-IP* "./cmv_snap3 -e 10ms" | tee snap.raw16 | display -size 4096x3072 -depth 16 gray:-
 
same for 12bit (more efficient, same data):
ssh root@*BETA-IP* "./cmv_snap3 -2 -e 10ms" | tee snap.raw12 | display -size 4096x3072 -depth 12 gray:-
 
==Overlay Images==
clear overlay
./mimg -a -o -P 0
 
enable overlay:
gen_reg 11 0x0104F000
 
disable overlay:
gen_reg 11 0x0004F000

=Tools=
==cmv_reg==
Get and Set CMV12000 image sensor registers (CMV12000 sports 128x16 Bit registers).
 
Details are in the sensor datasheet: https://github.com/apertus-open-source-cinema/beta-hardware/tree/master/Datasheets
 
 
'''Examples:'''
 
Read register 115 (which contains the analog gain settings):
cmv_reg 115
 
Return value:
0x00
Means we are currently operating at analog gain x1 = unity gain


===Debayering===


A planned feature is to generate this FPGA code block with "dynamic reconfiguration" meaning that the actual debayering algorithm can be replaced at any time by loading a new FPGA binary block at run-time.


Set register 115 to gain x2:
This tries to simplify creating custom debayering algorithms with a script like programming language that can be translated to FPGA code and loaded into the FPGA dynamically for testing.
cmv_reg 115 1


==set_gain.sh==
===Peaking Proposal===


Set gain and related settings (ADC range and offsets).
[[Peaking]] marks high image frequency areas with colored dot overlays. These marked areas are typically the ones "in-focus" currently so this is a handy tool to see where the focus lies with screens that have lower resolution than the camera is capturing.


./set_gain.sh 1
'''Handy Custom Parameters:'''
./set_gain.sh 2
./set_gain.sh 3/3 # almost the same as gain 1
./set_gain.sh 3
./set_gain.sh 4


==cmv_snap3==
*color
Capture and store image snapshots and sequences.
*frequency threshold


Example:  
'''Potential Problems:'''
ssh root@cameraip "./cmv_snap3 -B0x08000000 -x -N8 -L1024 -2 -e 5ms" >/tmp/test.seq12


-B setzt die buffer base und ist im augenblick erforderlich
* there are sharper and softer lenses so the threshold depends on the glass currently used. For a sharp lens the peaking could show areas as "in-focus" if they actually aren't and for softer lenses the peaking might never show up at all because the threshold is never reached
0x08000000 bedeutet 128MB, ich hab das linux auf 128MB zusammengepfercht, damit bleibt 1024MB-128MB fuer sequenzen
bitte beachten, es gibt kein sicherheitsnetz und keine plausibilitaetschecks, d.h. wenn du addressen erreichst oder spezifizierst wo das linux laeuft, dann ist vermutlich ein reset notwendig
-x bedeutet das erste frame zu skippen (optional), da mir aufgefallen ist, dass das erste frame nach einer pause anders aussieht
-N setzt die anzahl der frames die zu capturen sind (bitte wieder beachten, wenn du ueber 0x3FFFFFFF kommst, dann ueberschreibst du den linux bereich)
-L setzt die anzahl der zeilen (nur gerade werte, max 3072)
-2 stellt auf 12bit output (einziges format das ich getestet habe :)
-e setzt die exposure wie gehabt


To split one seq12 file into multiple individual files:
===Image Blow Up / Zoom Proposal===
split -b <size> <file.seq12> <prefix>


<size> the amount of bytes of one image (4096 x number-of-lines x 12bit / 8bit)
Digital zoom into the center area of the image to check focus.  
<prefix> name
optionally add --additional-suffix=.raw12 for the proper extension
-d or --numeric-suffixes for numeric numbering of the split files


Example for 1024 lines (input file: test.seq12):
As extra feature this zoomed area could be moved around the full sensor area.
split -b 6291456 -d test.seq12 output --additional-suffix=.raw12


Example for 1080 lines (input file: test.seq12):
[[File:20140909152450-look-around.jpg | 300px]]
split -b 6635520 -d test.seq12 output --additional-suffix=.raw12


This feature is also related to the "Look Around" where the viewfinder sees a larger image area than is being output to the clean-feed.


Use imagemagick to convert raw12 file into a color preview image:
This re-sampling method to scale up/down an image in real-time can be of rather low quality (nearest neighbor/bilinear/etc.) as it is only for preview purposes.
cat test.raw12 | convert \( -size 4096x3072 -depth 12 gray:- \) \( -clone 0 -crop -1-1 \) \( -clone 0 -crop -1+0 \) \( -clone 0 -crop +0-1 \) -sample 2048x1536 \( -clone 2,3 -average \) -delete 2,3 -swap 0,1 +swap -combine test_color.png


Capture directly to DNG, without saving the raw12, in the camera:
== Clipping ==


  ./cmv_snap3 -2 -b -r -e 10ms | raw2dng snap.DNG
  scn_reg 28 0x00 # deactivate clipping<br />
scn_reg 28 0x10 # activate low clipping<br />
scn_reg 28 0x20 # activate high clipping<br />
scn_reg 28 0x30 # activate high+low clipping

I would suggest running Arch Linux on the AXIOM Beta for development purposes. If we need to shrink it down that will be quite trivial. Obviously we can take the embedded approach from there, as long as we don't fall in the trap of libc implementations with broken threading.

==Moving Image Raw Recording/Processing==
==Pattern noise correction==
 
Note: This only works with the experimental raw mode enabled on the AXIOM Beta 1080p60 (A+B Frames) and is only tested with the Atomos Shogun currently.
 
To measure the required compensations with a different recorder follow this guide: [[raw processing recorder benchmarking | this guide]]


Postprocessing software to recover the raw information (DNG sequences) is on github: https://github.com/apertus-open-source-cinema/misc-tools-utilities/tree/master/raw-via-hdmi
--rnfilter=1        : FIR filter for row noise correction from black columns<br />
 
  --rnfilter=2        : FIR filter for row noise correction from black columns and per-row median differences in green channels<br />
required packages: ffmpeg build-essentials
--fixrn            : Fix row noise by image filtering (slow, guesswork)<br />
 
--fixpn            : Fix row and column noise (SLOW, guesswork)<br />
Mac requirements for compiling: gcc4.9(via homebrew):
--fixrnt            : Temporal row noise fix (use with static backgrounds; recommended)<br />
brew install homebrew/versions/gcc49
--fixpnt            : Temporal row/column noise fix (use with static backgrounds)<br />
 
--no-blackcol-rn    : Disable row noise correction from black columns (they are still used to correct static offsets)<br />
also install ffmpeg
  --no-blackcol-ff    : Disable fixed frequency correction in black columns
 
To do all the raw processing in one single command (after ffmpeg codec copy processing):
  ./hdmi4k INPUT.MOV - | ./raw2dng --fixrnt --pgm --black=120 frame%05d.dng
 
===hdmi4k===
Converts a video file recorded in AXIOM raw to a PGM image sequence and applies the darkframe (needs to be created beforehand).
 
Currently clips must go through ffmpeg before hdmi4k can read them:
ffmpeg -i CLIP.MOV -c:v copy OUTPUT.MOV
 
To cut out a video between IN and OUT with ffmpeg but maintaing the original encoding data:
ffmpeg -i CLIP.MOV -ss IN_SECONDS -t DURATION_SECONDS -c:v copy OUTPUT.MOV

Flat field correction:
Flat field correction:
- each gain requires two reference images (N=1,2,3,4):
- darkframe-xN.pgm will be subtracted (data is x8)
- gainframe-xN.pgm will be multiplied (1.0 = 16384)
- reference images are 16-bit PGM, in the current directory.

                      - if too high, you may get pink highlights
--no-clipframe      : Disable clip frame (if clipframe-xN.pgm is present)<br />
                      - if too low, useful highlights may clip to white
--no-blackcol      : Disable black reference column subtraction: - enabled by default if a dark frame is used. - reduces row noise and black level variations<br />
--width=%d          : Set image width (default: 4096)

                      - default: autodetect from file size
--calc-gainframe    : Average a gain frame (aka flat field frame)<br />
                      - if input is stdin, default is 3072

This script can take EDLs to reduce the raw conversion/processing to the essential frames that are actually used in an edit.
This way a finished video edit can be converted to raw DNG sequences easily.

Pipe it to a Bash file to have a shell script.
Note from the programmer: This is really unsophisticated and messy. Feel free to alter and share improvements.
==Userspace==
Arch Linux comes with systemd, which has one advantage that the boot process is incredible fast. Standard tools such as sshd and dhcpcd have been preinstalled. We may need other tools such as ftp, webserver, etc.
* ftp; I would suggest vsftpd here
* webserver; I am able to modify cherokee with custom C code to directly talk to specific camera sections. Cherokee already powers the WiFi module of the GoPro.
One idea to store camera relevant parameters inside the camera and provide access from most programming languages is to use a database like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_DB

2 Image Processing Nodes

2.1 Debayering

A planned feature is to generate this FPGA code block with "dynamic reconfiguration" meaning that the actual debayering algorithm can be replaced at any time by loading a new FPGA binary block at run-time.

This tries to simplify creating custom debayering algorithms with a script like programming language that can be translated to FPGA code and loaded into the FPGA dynamically for testing.

2.2 Peaking Proposal

Peaking marks high image frequency areas with colored dot overlays. These marked areas are typically the ones "in-focus" currently so this is a handy tool to see where the focus lies with screens that have lower resolution than the camera is capturing.

Handy Custom Parameters:

  • color
  • frequency threshold

Potential Problems:

  • there are sharper and softer lenses so the threshold depends on the glass currently used. For a sharp lens the peaking could show areas as "in-focus" if they actually aren't and for softer lenses the peaking might never show up at all because the threshold is never reached

2.3 Image Blow Up / Zoom Proposal

Digital zoom into the center area of the image to check focus.

As extra feature this zoomed area could be moved around the full sensor area.

20140909152450-look-around.jpg

This feature is also related to the "Look Around" where the viewfinder sees a larger image area than is being output to the clean-feed.

This re-sampling method to scale up/down an image in real-time can be of rather low quality (nearest neighbor/bilinear/etc.) as it is only for preview purposes.

3 Clipping

scn_reg 28 0x00 # deactivate clipping

scn_reg 28 0x10 # activate low clipping

scn_reg 28 0x20 # activate high clipping

scn_reg 28 0x30 # activate high+low clipping

4 Operating System

At this moment we were able to reuse an Arch Linux image for the Zedboard on the Microzed. To do so, some software such as the FSBL and uboot were added. More information can be found here: http://stefan.konink.de/contrib/apertus/ I will commit myself on the production of a screencast of the entire bootstrap proces from the Xilinx software to booting the MicroZed.

I would suggest running Arch Linux on the AXIOM Beta for development purposes. If we need to shrink it down that will be quite trivial. Obviously we can take the embedded approach from there, as long as we don't fall in the trap of libc implementations with broken threading.

5 Pattern noise correction

--rnfilter=1        : FIR filter for row noise correction from black columns

--rnfilter=2        : FIR filter for row noise correction from black columns and per-row median differences in green channels

--fixrn             : Fix row noise by image filtering (slow, guesswork)

--fixpn             : Fix row and column noise (SLOW, guesswork)

--fixrnt            : Temporal row noise fix (use with static backgrounds; recommended)

--fixpnt            : Temporal row/column noise fix (use with static backgrounds)

--no-blackcol-rn    : Disable row noise correction from black columns (they are still used to correct static offsets)

--no-blackcol-ff    : Disable fixed frequency correction in black columns

Flat field correction: 

--dchp              : Measure hot pixels to scale dark current frame

--no-darkframe      : Disable dark frame (if darkframe-xN.pgm is present)

--no-dcnuframe      : Disable dark current frame (if dcnuframe-xN.pgm is present)

--no-gainframe      : Disable gain frame (if gainframe-xN.pgm is present)

--no-clipframe      : Disable clip frame (if clipframe-xN.pgm is present)

--no-blackcol       : Disable black reference column subtraction: - enabled by default if a dark frame is used. - reduces row noise and black level variations

--calc-darkframe    : Average a dark frame from all input files

--calc-dcnuframe    : Fit a dark frame (constant offset) and a dark current frame (exposure-dependent offset) from files with different exposures (starting point: 256 frames with exposures from 1 to 50 ms)

--calc-gainframe    : Average a gain frame (aka flat field frame)

--calc-clipframe    : Average a clip (overexposed) frame

--check-darkframe   : Check image quality indicators on a dark frame

Debug options: 

--dump-regs         : Dump sensor registers from metadata block (no output DNG)

--fixpn-dbg-denoised: Pattern noise: show denoised image

--fixpn-dbg-noise   : Pattern noise: show noise image (original - denoised)

--fixpn-dbg-mask    : Pattern noise: show masked areas (edges and highlights)

--fixpn-dbg-col     : Pattern noise: debug columns (default: rows)

--export-rownoise   : Export row noise data to octave (rownoise_data.m)

--get-pixel:%d,%d   : Extract one pixel from all input files, at given coordinates, and save it to pixel.csv, including metadata. Skips DNG output.
