• Enhance text image in x264encoding

  23 août 2016, par useprxf

  I’m making use of x264 for remote desktop streaming. The goal is to achieve both low bitrate and high video quality within the computation budget. The current parameter set I used almost achieve this goal, but it fails in handling images with many texts (e.g. browsing websites schene). The text in image is blurred and affects the user experience.

  I think it’s the quantization in x264 that causes this. The quantization after DCT transform will eliminate high frequency sinals which mainly correspond to texts in image.

  So, my question is how to do improve the text quality in x264 encoding ?

  My idea : when the bitrate stays at a low level for a period of time,

  1. set crf to be 0 (lossless) ;
  2. encode current frame as an IDR frame and then send it ;
  3. recover the crf.

  Also, a flag should be used to prevent resending when bitrate keeps low for a long time. I haven’t try this method since I don’t know how to mark a frame as an IDR frame manully and then encode it.

• Software for intelligent video overlaying and tranformation [on hold]

  29 juin 2017, par raccounts

  I am looking for some software that will enable me to intelligently overlay video.

  Basically, I have 12 or so clips that all capture the same movement (a 360 orbit), but they all have minute differences as the videos were captured over the period of a year.

  Due to their differences, cutting between them is jarring. In order to align them, I have to scale, rotate, and warp the image so that the transition is decent.

  What’s some software that can automate this ?

  Would a 3D tracker be able to accomplish this ? I tried looking into AviSynth and Fusion, an accompanying plugin. Is FFMpeg the ticket ?

  Thank you in advance.

• Help us Reset The Net today on June 5th

  5 juin 2014, par Piwik Core Team — Community, Meta

  This blog post explains why the Piwik project is joining ResetTheNet online protest and how you can help make a difference against mass surveillance. It also includes an infographic and links to useful resources which may be of interest to you.

  Snowden revelations, a year ago today

  On June 5, 2013 the Guardian newspaper published the first of Edward Snowden’s astounding revelations. It was the first of a continuous stream of stories that pointed out what we’ve suspected for a long time : that the world’s digital communications are being continuously spied upon by nation states with precious little oversight.

  Unfortunately, mass surveillance is affecting the internet heavily. The Internet is a powerful force that can promote democracy, innovation, and creativity, but it’s being subverted as a tool for government spying. That is why Piwik has decided to join Reset The Net.

  June 5, 2014 marks a new year : a year that will not just be about listening to the inside story of mass surveillance, but a new year of fighting back !

  How do I protect myself and others ?

  Reset the Net is asking everyone to help by installing free software tools that are designed to protect your privacy on a computer or a mobile device.

  Reset the Net is also calling on websites and developers to add surveillance resistant features such as HTTPS and forward secrecy.

  Message from Edward Snowden

  Evan from FFTF sent us this message from Edward Snowden and we thought we would share it with you :

  One year ago, we learned that the internet is under surveillance, and our activities are being monitored to create permanent records of our private lives — no matter how innocent or ordinary those lives might be.

  Today, we can begin the work of effectively shutting down the collection of our online communications, even if the US Congress fails to do the same. That’s why I’m asking you to join me on June 5th for Reset the Net, when people and companies all over the world will come together to implement the technological solutions that can put an end to the mass surveillance programs of any government. This is the beginning of a moment where we the people begin to protect our universal human rights with the laws of nature rather than the laws of nations.

  We have the technology, and adopting encryption is the first effective step that everyone can take to end mass surveillance. That’s why I am excited for Reset the Net — it will mark the moment when we turn political expression into practical action, and protect ourselves on a large scale.

  Join us on June 5th, and don’t ask for your privacy. Take it back.
