<div dir="ltr">We have completed the process of refactoring KWIVER. Previously KWIVER was a
"super build". That is, it used to be a light weight wrapper project designed to
pull in and build together various other open source projects that fall
under the KWIVER family of tools. The new KWIVER layout unifies
three core projects into one repository: Vital, Sprokit, and Arrows.
The separate repositories for these projects are no longer actively being used for development and will eventually be deleted.
<p>- Vital provides support for configuration file management, logging,
core data structures, abstract algorithm APIs and some generally useful utilities.</p><p>- Arrows provides a
collection of plugins that implements those APIs, often using external
projects (OpenCV, VXL, Caffe, etc.). <br></p><p>- Sprokit provides the stream
processing architecture for combining those components together into a
pipeline for process video or other streaming data.</p>
<p>Projects
that previously used vital and sprokit directly will be transitioned to
use the new KWIVER. Arrows is a subset of the MAP-Tk project, consisting
of algorithm implementations, which is
being ripped out and relocated into KWIVER. All new development on
MAP-Tk algorithms will be done in the arrows component of KWIVER.</p><p>These
projects were merged into one repository to get the benefit of an
integrated set of features and to simplify building applications against
these packages. Now there is a single integrated repository rather than
three or more that need to be coordinated. This eliminates the problems
associated with finding compatible versions of separate repositories.<span class=""><font color="#888888"><br></font></span></p><span class=""><font color="#888888"><form accept-charset="UTF-8" action="http:///Kitware/kwiver/issue_comments/232664103" method="post" target="_blank">
