Usage

Add to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
oximedia-align = "0.1.6"

Audio-Based Synchronization

use oximedia_align::temporal::{AudioSync, SyncConfig};

let config = SyncConfig {
    sample_rate: 48000,
    window_size: 480000,  // 10 seconds
    max_offset: 240000,   // ±5 seconds
};

let sync = AudioSync::new(config);
let offset = sync.find_offset(&audio1, &audio2)?;
println!("Offset: {} samples ({:.2} ms)",
    offset.samples,
    offset.to_milliseconds(48000)
);

Homography Estimation

use oximedia_align::spatial::{HomographyEstimator, RansacConfig};
use oximedia_align::features::{OrbDetector, FeatureMatcher};

let orb = OrbDetector::new(500);
let (kp1, desc1) = orb.detect_and_compute(&img1, width, height)?;
let (kp2, desc2) = orb.detect_and_compute(&img2, width, height)?;

let matcher = FeatureMatcher::default();
let matches = matcher.match_features(&kp1, &desc1, &kp2, &desc2);

let estimator = HomographyEstimator::new(RansacConfig::default());
let (homography, inliers) = estimator.estimate(&matches)?;

Lens Distortion Correction

use oximedia_align::distortion::{
    CameraIntrinsics, BrownConradyDistortion,
    CameraModel, DistortionModel, ImageUndistorter
};

let intrinsics = CameraIntrinsics::new(1000.0, 1000.0, 640.0, 480.0);
let distortion = BrownConradyDistortion::new(0.1, 0.01, 0.001, 0.0, 0.0);
let camera = CameraModel::new(intrinsics, DistortionModel::BrownConrady(distortion));
let undistorter = ImageUndistorter::new(camera, 1280, 960);
let corrected = undistorter.undistort(&distorted_image, 3)?;

Rolling Shutter Correction

use oximedia_align::rolling_shutter::{
    RollingShutterParams, RollingShutterCorrector, ReadoutDirection
};

let params = RollingShutterParams::new(
    0.033,  // 33ms readout time
    30.0,   // 30 fps
    ReadoutDirection::TopToBottom
);
let corrector = RollingShutterCorrector::new(params);
let corrected = corrector.estimate_and_correct(&frame1, &frame2, width, height)?;
