Oh great and wise sages of the CPAN wisdom, I'd like some feedback and advice for naming some modules I am contemplating.
Image::Stereo::MPO Image::Stereo::JPS Image::Stereo::JPG These would be modules used for basic manipulation of stereographic JPEG-based images. Here's a bit of background for the interested. MPO -- Multi-Picture Format Digital 3D cameras (yes, there are such things) most commonly store L/R images as a pair of JPEG files in a container file with the extension ".MPO". The container file also contains additional meta data, beyond the standard JPEG fields, that describes relationships between the images. (Actually, to be more accurate, MPO files can store any number of related images, such as for panoramics. But in practice, in the wild, MPO files contain stereographic pairs.) JPS -- JPEG Stereo Format Another older format for stereographic pairs has an extension of ".JPS". This is a JPEG file with the R/L images 'glued' together side-by-side and some additional meta data (EXIF). JPG And L/R stereo pairs are often just combined into a single JPEG file without any special meta data and may be in a side-by-side or under-over format. A common thing to want to do is to take L/R stereo pair of JPEG files and combine them into a single MPO or JPS file, and likewise take an MPO or JPS file and split it out into two separate JPEG files. That's what these modules will do. OK -- probably more than you wanted to know. As for the module names, stereographic images are commonly referred to as 3D images, but there are other associations for the term, plus I'm guessing that "::3D::" would be a no-no for CPAN module naming. Stereographic images are also shorthanded as just "stereo" which is a more reasonable name length. ...BC -- -------------------------------[ bill.co...@alumni.unh.edu ]-- Bill Costa New Hampshire, USA http://pubpages.unh.edu/~wfc WORK: +1-603-862-3056 HOME: +1-603-435-8526 ------------------------[ No good deed...
