Detailed Description

Algorithm for live streams: merges ImageStreamData and TrackingStreamData from connected Stream instances into an internal buffer on stream threads, then promotes to a live TrackedSharedImageSet when the host calls compute().

Recording the stream to disk is unrelated to this class.

You may construct this class directly for the default live output type, or subclass to change that type, how data is published to the live output, when refresh runs, or to use an optional background worker. If the constructor requests a background worker, this class prepares an extra buffer for results produced off the UI thread; filling that buffer is up to subclasses—this implementation does not write it.

LiveStreamProcessingAlgorithm alg(std::vector<Stream*>{ imageStream, trackingStream });
alg.createLiveContainer();
alg.start();
// Connect Algorithm::signalOutputChanged so the main thread calls compute() when data changes (as controllers do).
alg.compute();
OwningDataList out = alg.takeOutput();
Wrapper class to store a list of owned Data instances.
Definition OwningDataList.h:24

Packet types other than image or tracking are skipped. Algorithm::signalOutputChanged indicates the live output may be stale; run compute() on the main thread before relying on what is on screen.

Intended for live imaging together with tracking. Other kinds of stream content need a different entry point unless you extend how packets are handled.

Data from the streams is merged on those threads into an internal buffer. When the live picture should catch up, run compute() on the main thread so the TrackedSharedImageSet matches that merged state.

With no background worker, compute() copies from that buffer into the live output. With a background worker, heavier work can finish in a separate buffer first, and compute() then copies from there; subclasses supply what appears in that second buffer. Tracking-only changes still ask for a UI refresh; new images are what prompts the background worker to run again.

Note
For customization, see createLiveContainer(), compute(), moveBufferedDataToLiveContainer(), onNewImagesArrived(), and backgroundThreadProcessData().
