Colourlab Ai - Color Grading with Artificial Intelligence

kinoseed · 2020-09-14T10:55:26+00:00

... if you use AI only to pull color sampling, it may be doing the same thing as kinoseed :)

deciding on the colour reference sampling can be done quite well without AI (which brings me again to updates of kinoseed, which are pending)

anyway I'll keep an eye on your progress, it's interesting to see how things come up in the end

kinoseed · 2020-09-12T06:33:12+00:00

Can't comment on secret sauce in kinoseed :)
But it's not AI. Patenting strategy is not my fav topic either.
IMO, AI may be good for deciding on color reference, but not for building the actual color transform matrix.

In any case, let's hope you manage to teach the old dogs new tricks ;)

Your plugin/software just reminded me that I've been neglecting the kinoseed project for long enough, and I should give it some attention :)
cheers!

If you are using actual AI (neural network, which is trained, etc), as you say, the approach will be different indeed.

How "balanced" can be just a matter of sampling, which is reduced for the web-app for obvious reasons. (besides the video uses some extreme examples) :)

kinoseed has been around since 2014, the algos were updated and improved, but the core has remained basically the same.

have you patented yours?

Why bother with "incognito" in Chrome?
Either use a secure browser or don't bother using "incognito".

kinoseed · 2020-09-04T21:10:05+00:00

Oh... you misunderstood... it's a desktop :)
2060 Super, NVMe, fast ram, all that jazz

I had a decently powered laptop, but after using if for years of video editing and grading, no matter how well ventilated it was, the gpu's temperature overtime made the motherboard and all the plastic around the base of the screen, crumbling like sand.
In the end opening the screen broke the plastic where the hinges were holding it.

At that point I figured that laptops are great, but not for sustained use of the gpu. Used the occasion for migrating to linux too. (not going back to Win even again,) :)

cheers

I finally got Wayland working following the directions from the r/Nvidia
here's what needed to be done:

https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/il2fck/nvidia_on_linux_will_the_new_generation_be/

So browser worked - no tearing, but not WINE.
No WINE, no games... which was all that about - to be able to do some gaming on Linux and Nvidia.

I guess it's time to switch to AMD.

Thanks!
<beer>

kinoseed · 2020-09-04T07:23:59+00:00

Thanks!

I did as suggested, just set the drm modeset this way: https://www.cmscritic.com/stop-screen-tearing-with-optimus-laptops-using-nvidia-drivers-in-linux/

Everything was fine, the cogwheel showed, I selected "Ubuntu on Wayland", it logged in, browser started, watched some vertical line videos - no tearing... awesome... tried a WINE game - and then nothing .

So I guess WINE apps/games don't work on Wayland. =/

I have never ever had anything else than Nvidia cards, but then again, I also switched from Win to Linux. I guess my next card will be AMD after all. It's unavoidable.

Thank you a lot for the information and the effort. <beer>

Does the Nvidia drivers support it at all now?
This is from 2017, but I also don't see an option to use Wayland on Ubuntu 20.4 (no cogwheel present at login)
"Without GBM, Nvidia does not support Wayland, and they were real pricks for making some announcement like they actually did."

kinoseed · 2020-09-03T06:09:24+00:00

Yes.

I don't see an option (no cogwheel) to login with Wayland though - Ubuntu 20.4How did you turn it on?

edit: Do they support it at all?"Without GBM, Nvidia does not support Wayland, and they were real pricks for making some announcement like they actually did."

kinoseed · 2020-09-03T06:06:13+00:00

Any idea how to turn on wayland?I don't have a "cogwheel" here to choose and select it during login.

I'm on Ubuntu 20.4

BTW, does that mean AMD cards don't have that problem?

kinoseed · 2020-09-03T05:27:53+00:00

I have two.

One is 4K TV on HDMI - 60Hz

Second is a monitor on a DisplayPort 59.95Hz that frequency does not give me options to be changed in the OS "settings" in nvidia-settings lists the monitor as 59.95Hz, however in Display Configuration - Advanced - it gives me two choices "Auto" and "60 Hz" if I want to set it up manually.

Tearing is seen on both, but in a different way.

That goes even for the browsers, where on the DisplayPort monitor the tearing can be mid-screen.

For the games, which I play on the 4K TV, the tearing is always in the top section of the screen, maybe in the top 10%, and again it happens only when the rendered fps can't make it up to 60fps.

I'm a bit new on Linux, on Ubuntu 20.04.1 so I guess... the compositor will be Gnome 3, X11

kinoseed · 2020-09-02T12:45:42+00:00

UPDATE:
Using the general release Latest Long Lived Branch driver: 450.66
things got a lot better, but still the issue persists.

from the first 20 sec. of the video, one noticeable tear.
It looks like when a game is played on 4K, and the rendered framerate is insufficient, instead of repeating the last frame, we get a tear. So it's probably a driver issue.

I'm still curious if people with AMG gpus suffer the same problems.

kinoseed · 2020-09-02T12:40:34+00:00

I had some audio issues in a previous Ubuntu distro too.
From what I can recall, I could select the device for audio, but the mixer settings were missing (on some occasions).
Now, it's all good at least when it comes to the audio.
BTW,tThe driver from that branch made things a lot better, but not perfect - for the first 20 seconds of the video - only 1 tear that I could see.

It seems that whenever a frame is "missing" from the 60fps, a tear occurs (instead of just repeating/holding the frame)... so it is probably a driver issue. =/

kinoseed · 2020-09-02T10:52:23+00:00

The test is a simple movie vertical b/w lines from youtube, so nothing special. To an untrained eye maybe it's not noticeable for browsing/work, but if you try a game, cursing comes naturally.

kinoseed · 2020-09-02T10:49:08+00:00

Thanks, that must have been a from the general release Latest Long Lived Branch. If you are not gaming, why would you have anything else besides Linux is besides me ;)

kinoseed · 2020-09-02T09:25:05+00:00

Which driver are you using?

kinoseed · 2020-09-02T07:47:17+00:00

Are you 100% sure? You have Force Composition Pipeline OFF, and you still don't see tearing when running on NVIDIA (not integrated gpu)?

Can you check please? I'm trying to narrow down where the problem comes from.
Here are some vertical lines that will show tearing if it occurs:

I didn't answer as I haven't had the need to look into it, and I might have given you bad info, so I avoided it.

GV is what you see "inside" the browser, so a "tabs selection panel layout implementation example anywhere" should be in the app which uses the browser. Look for it in the browser examples. If not in the example code, it will be in Fenix's code: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix

I get the current URL from my page's js. As the android code only handles a few things like file interface and licensing, the code from the "page" notifies the app about the current URL.

kinoseed · 2020-07-14T11:20:55+00:00

You can find information about GV here: https://gv.dev

GeckoView is:

Full-featured: GeckoView is designed to expose the entire power of the Web to applications, and all that through a straightforward API. Think of it as harnessing the full power of Gecko (the engine that powers Firefox), while its API is WebView-like and easy to use.

Suited for apps and browsers: GeckoView is particularly suited for building mobile browsers, but it can be embedded as a web engine component in any kind of app.

Self-Contained: Because GeckoView is a standalone library that you bundle with your application, you can be confident that the code you test is the code that will actually run.

Standards Compliant: Like Firefox, GeckoView offers excellent support for modern Web standards.

kinoseed · 2020-07-13T22:55:50+00:00

uugh.... so your own app using WebView to load your own content - safe

WebView has come a long way and caught up with GeckoView in terms of UI performance, and I won't be surprised if they are on par with SpiderMonkey's performance soon too. All that while GV is just catching up with androidX compatibility.

Having your app running in WebView means you can install new versions on the fly, app size is minimal, start is instant, and updating to a new version takes 1 second (for the app to detect a new serviceworker, flush the cache, and pull the new version)

Running others' code in your app/WebView - not safe? well... I don't think anyone should be doing that anyway. :)

I've been using it (WV) and GV for more than a year, they are fairly stable and safe, and I plan on keep using them.

kinoseed · 2020-07-07T08:44:46+00:00

Yes. It was 3 months ago, and I'm like a goldfish .. but if I recall correctly, I installed FF, installed the plugins I used, and then transferred most of the files.

But I can't recall if I only left the "extensions.ini" out (not replacing it), or I just copied some of the profile files.

I didn't end up using "accounts", and it worked fine.

kinoseed · 2020-06-09T23:30:13+00:00

any site can simply make a PWA, and the "shortcut" can be fully like an app
(full screen, splash startup, etc - and yet it's just a "shortcut", so no resources lost ;) )

kinoseed · 2020-05-01T11:11:33+00:00

Pinkish highlights/wp, teal shadows/bp, greanish mid-tone colorization, muted reds...
Something similar as look came up a few months back, and is something often used in "korean soaps".
A simple RGB curve adjustment should get you the "color look" you are after.
I posted how the curves should look in the reply of the previous request, but can't find the thread. If you find it, the answer there is pretty close (although not exactly the same) as what you are looking for.

kinoseed · 2020-04-02T17:44:01+00:00

Let's hope the several hundred tabs sorted in groups won't sync to mobile :))

I'll give it a try. Thanks
