Intro
The 0.5y deliverable is slated for October 2009. This deliverable demonstrates a small slice of the larger Decapod workflow and the direction we are heading in the months to come. This deliverable can be seen as a first iteration on the Detailed View. The UI is similar to the Detailed View but with less features, and some extra buttons to demonstrate functionality.
The 0.5y demo will be a single camera setup performing perspective dewarping on flat pages/books, and capable of exporting to image PDF. By project end (April 2011), Decapod will use two cameras for three-dimensional dewarping and export to dynamic font generated PDF that is reflowable.
Functionality
The following is the proposed list of functionality, prioritized for development.
Priority scale: lowest - low - moderate - high - required
Required:
- Capture from single camera
- Perspective correction of single image by pressing button
- Perspective correction for all images by activating a single link prior to export to PDF
- Export all images in thumbnail sequence to PDF
- Progress bar or some sort of busy indicator during perspective correction
High:
- Compare uncorrected and corrected image
Moderate:
- Reordering thumbnails.
- Delete selected image.
Low:
- Camera zoom (if supported by the camera).
- Sliding feedback messages (simple implementation could be a fixed status message area on the UI).
Lowest:
- None
