The Versatile YUV file displayer
frameInspector is a tool which reads a raw YUV file (in a variety of formats) and displays it in a window.
- Reads 'YUV Split' files with separate Y/U/V files.
- Reads 'YUV Composite' files containing multiple images.
- Supports many image resolutions from QCIF -> UHD.
- Supports YUV420p and YUV420p10 (big & little endian)
- Generates frame checksum or MD5 hash for chroma and luma components.
- Save individual frames as bitmap image or separate Y/U/V components.
- Uses optimized YUV conversion routine from
ffmpegand saves YUV4MPEG frames.
frameInspector utilizes the standard 'autoconf' configuration system. Once the source-code is downloaded issue the following commands to build the project:
$> ./autogen.sh # This generates the 'configure' script.
$> ./configure # This generates the 'makefile'
$> make -j N # This builds the project with N processors
NOTE: To build using the ffmpeg associated library libswscale the configure command should include --enable-libswscale.
Now it is possible to build frameInspector using the cmake build system. This allows quick configuration and builds using the cmake tool.
$> mkdir cmake-build-debug
$> cd cmake-build-debug
$> cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..
$> make -j 4
A Code::Blocks project is also provided for those using that popular IDE.
frameInspector should be able to build on Windows and Visual Studio projects are provided. Of course the wxWidgets library must be installed and the paths adjusted in the Visual Studio project files.
frameInspector requires the following packages to be installed in order to build and run.
| Library | Description | Installation |
|---|---|---|
| wxWidgets 3.0 | GUI Toolkit | sudo apt-get install libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev |
| libgcrypt | Used for hash functions | sudo apt-get install libgcrypt11-dev |
| libswscale4 | Part of ffmpeg used for YUV conversion | sudo apt-get install libswscale-dev |
| libmjpegtools | Used to save/load yuv4mpeg format | sudo apt-get install libmjpegtools-dev |
| libpopt | Used for commandline parsing | sudo apt-get install libpopt-dev |
