projections alpha test

[seandepagnier]

git clone github.com/seandepagnier/OpenCPN -b projections

1. raster charts in quilted mode use per-chart coordinates (without reprojection support switching on/off quilting you might notice tracks shift relative to the chart as quilted mode was inaccurate)
2. charts with different projections can be in the same quilt (eg: mercator and transverse mercator)
3. mercator, polar, and spherical projections supported by pressing '1', '2', '3'
4. hardware accelerated panning in course up mode
5. optimized and improved efficiency in several ways

Please advise of any possible reversions. I intend to integrate this effort similarly to the optimizing work last year. I will be adding support routines for plugins next.

The linkage on Linux is a bit broken due to missing X11 and GL dependencies (already handled in master, so I just attach a brutal patch for anybody not wanting to wait for the rebasing of this patchset)

FWIW, I can't see any vector charts at all with this branch and RNCs just in single chart mode. OpenGL or not. Sometimes, some vector chart artifacts get rendered for a moment, the most I have seen so far is shown on the attached screenshot. Do you have any special debugging requirements?

Pavel,

Thanks for the feedback.

I don't understand how it can compile fine for me without your small patch.

Are you using cm93 or other vector charts? Does the world background chart work? Could you try again I just pushed a few fixes. what geographic location are your charts? Do the different projections work at all using 1, 2, 3 or right click menu?

I merged with master branch now, should be working better than ever, but no quilts in dc mode. Maybe I should just handle them the way they were before which is unfortunate.

Sean...
Seems you did not push the master merged code to github.
Further test:

• basemap - always works
• vector charts - never work (CM93 or NOAA ENCs), regardless of projection, OpenGL and quilting setting, the best I can ever see is what I posted above.
• raster charts (NOAA RNCs) - never work in quilting mode. Do work in single chart mode, regardless of projection or OpenGL setting
• switching projection in DC mode is broken (see the screenshot attached)

My experience:

• No troubles compiling in openSUSE 13.2.
• Charts look “grayscale” (at least in non-OpenGL mode).
• Chart outlines move “out-of-sync” with chart content — like in old videogames with parallax layers.
• No graticules — just lines of longitude.

PS. Where do I get North Pole vector charts?

I got confused and merged with my own master branch (which has lots of other changes) I reverted this and merged now instead with upstream/master

I made a couple of changes after testing more charts last night. Basically some charts use clockwise coordinates and others use counterclockwise, so both should work now.

Thanks for the list. I need to disable projection switching in dc mode as it can not work without an extra conversion routine and even then would be very slow. Currently quilted mode in dc is also broken as I search for the best way to fix it.. everything else should work.

I just verified I can quilt polyconic charts with mercator and even skewed mercator charts correctly.

Since am using polygons not rectangles for quilting, I found skewed charts, if there are several in a quilt take only 3ms, before took 10ms to quilt, so 2-3x faster, but with many (15-20) charts in the quilt, if all rectangles, before it took only 2ms to compose, but now 3-4ms, however there are plenty of ways to improve this and eventually it can be faster than it is now.

Please pull and try now. I merged with master and tested with:
us raster, new zealand raster, google earth kap us enc and cm93 charts

Pavel,
your change to sentence.cpp in the dashboard plugin broke wx-2.8 do we support wx-2.8 still?

RNCs seem to work fine for me now.
CM93 result in just grey screen, except in elliptic projection, where the attached psychedelic effect is observed.
ENCs now consistently show cell borders and the light artifacts as shown on my first screenshot, but nothing else.

We try, fixed in master now.

[seandepagnier]

Pavel,

I have updated the branch a bit more. It should support a few additional projections as well as fix some more issues.

I can't understand what the problem with vector charts is, but t must have something to do with the regions. It doesn't work in single chart or quilted mode correct? What about the case where raster and vectors are both visible in the same quilt? I think it must have something to do with how the extents for your vector charts are being computed. Perhaps you can step throught glChartCanvas::RenderCharts and print the regions, eg:

(gdb) call region.Print()
(gdb) call backgroundRegion.Print()

Or else just put the code to print the region and recompile and see if the region passed to Current_Ch->RenderRegionViewOnGL( *m_pcontext, vp, region ); is empty or not. If not I would have to step in there and try to find out why it isn't rendering, but for some reason it works for me which is frustrating.


As an interesting note, I have found the polyconic projection used in opencpn does not match the polyconic projection used by the actual us bsb raster charts. If it did, then the chart would display as a perfect rectangle when this projection is used. This is somewhat of a bug in opencpn (and always has been) as the coordinates (although fairly accurate because of the polynominal interpolation) are incorrect for these charts. Maybe we should think of a way to fix it. Obviously polyconic can mean infinite different possible projections as the cone may intersect the earth at any of 1 or 2 possible latitudes.

Does not compile now:

georef.cpp:726:12: error: ‘pole’ was not declared in this scope
     *lat = pole - atan(d) * 2 / DEGREE;

Indeed:

void fromSTEREO(double x, double y, double lat0, double lon0, double *lat, double *lon)
{
    const double z = WGS84_semimajor_axis_meters * mercator_k0;
    double xn = x/z;
    double yn = -y/z;
    double d = sqrt(xn*xn + yn*yn);
    if(lat0 < 0) // south polar (negative root and correct branch from cosine)
        d = -d, yn = -yn;

    *lat = pole - atan(d) * 2 / DEGREE;

    double theta = atan2(xn, yn);
    *lon = theta / DEGREE + lon0;
}

[seandepagnier]

I fixed some things and added gnomonic projections. It is interesting because in this projection all great circles are straight lines on the screen. Should compile.

I am halfway through optimizing the region algorithm but not yet finished... Then there is the case of no-opengl quilts, which I think I will simply handle the old way which is unfortunate, but may explore other possibilities. Finally, it is possible to optimize the quilting calculations considerably, as well as perform them in a background thread which would probably help a bit on slower arm processors that have plenty of cores.

What about vector charts? Can anyone see them?

To be clear, the goal isn't about supporting many more projections (which is nice but maybe will be exposed to users via a plugin) but more about improving the accuracy of displayed charts, allowing quilts to combine charts of different projections and improving performance.

[seandepagnier]

Pavel,

I fixed a bunch of issues with the regions.. the vector charts should work a lot better now, the only remaining issue for me is panning is not hardware accelerated as well as it should be.


Another issue I uncovered is, opencpn assumes cm93 covers everything which is wrong from 40 east to 120 east north of 40. Because of this assumption, there are charts in russian waters for higher level of detail in this region which are only possible to view in single chart mode.
