Decapod - 0.5y Deliverable
No longer updated
This document has been deprecated
Intro
The 0.5y deliverable is slated for late 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 user interface. The UI of this deliverable is a stripped down version of the Detailed View and some extra functionality for demonstration purposes (i.e. the Before and After image correction comparison).
Scope
The 0.5y demo will be a single camera setup performing perspective correction 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. More information about the scope of this project is available in the and the Decapod Workflow.
Wireframe
Early Decapod 0.3 Deliverable Wireframe illustrates visually the kinds of interactions that will be possible in the 0.5y deliverable.
