From linus.sherrill at kitware.com Thu Jul 28 12:00:39 2016 From: linus.sherrill at kitware.com (Linus Sherrill) Date: Thu, 28 Jul 2016 12:00:39 -0400 Subject: [Kwiver-users] New KWIVER master Message-ID: 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. - Vital provides support for configuration file management, logging, core data structures, abstract algorithm APIs and some generally useful utilities. - Arrows provides a collection of plugins that implements those APIs, often using external projects (OpenCV, VXL, Caffe, etc.). - Sprokit provides the stream processing architecture for combining those components together into a pipeline for process video or other streaming data. 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. 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. -Linus -- *Linus Sherrill - *Staff R&D Engineer Kitware, Inc. 28 Corporate Drive Clifton Park, NY 12065-8662 E: linus.sherrill at kitware.com P: 518.881.4400 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
