8i Coding Challenge

Description

This program is a GUI that will take in a raw PNG bayered image, debayer that image and extract the foreground image based on a comparison with a 'clean plate' image.

Raw PNG bayered image:

Debayered image:

Foreground extracted image (tolerance at ~80%):

How to build

In a directory of your choosing, extract the source code to a new directory:

unzip 8iCodeChallenge-master.zip

Create the ninja makefiles necessary to bulid the project using cmake:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G Ninja ../8iCodeChallenge-master

Build the program:

cmake --build . -- -v

Running

Simply call the 8i program in the commandline:

./8i

Todo

• Image rotation
• Image zoom
• Make the GUI less awful looking...
• More extensive error checking

Bugs

• When an image is debayered and extracted the first time, the foreground will have a tolerance of 0... So a terrible foreground will be requested to be saved.
• Perhaps needs to add some signal handling or a proper exit routine as the program segfaults on exit 🙃
