Xvideo -

XVideo is a widely used video codec that has played a significant role in shaping the digital video landscape. Its high-quality video, low computational complexity, and open-source nature have made it a popular choice for various applications, including video streaming, video conferencing, and video editing. As video technology continues to evolve, XVideo is likely to remain a relevant and widely used codec for years to come.

The world of video technology has undergone significant transformations since the early days of analog video. With the advent of digital technology, video encoding and decoding have become increasingly sophisticated, enabling faster, more efficient, and higher-quality video transmission. One crucial development in this field is XVideo, a video codec (coder-decoder) that has played a vital role in shaping the digital video landscape. XVideo

XVideo is a hybrid codec that uses a combination of intra-frame and inter-frame compression techniques. The codec operates on a frame-by-frame basis, using a combination of DCT, quantization, and motion compensation to compress each frame. XVideo is a widely used video codec that

The development of XVideo began in the early 2000s, when a group of engineers and researchers sought to create an open-source alternative to proprietary video codecs. The project was initially called "Xvid," and it was released under the GNU General Public License (GPL). The codec quickly gained popularity due to its high performance, low computational complexity, and open-source nature. The world of video technology has undergone significant

XVideo, also known as Xvid, is an open-source video codec that was first introduced in 2002. It is a software-based video codec that uses a combination of techniques, including discrete cosine transform (DCT), quantization, and motion compensation, to compress and decompress digital video. XVideo is designed to provide high-quality video at low bitrates, making it an ideal solution for various applications, including video streaming, video conferencing, and video editing.

Over the years, XVideo has undergone significant updates and improvements, with new features and enhancements being added regularly. In 2004, the codec was renamed to XVideo, and it has since become one of the most widely used video codecs in the world.

GNSS-SDRLIB: Open Source GNSS Software Defined Radio Library (SDR working with RTKLIB)

Google play: RTKGPS+ (Android frontend of RTKLIB)

Overview

RTKLIB is an open source program package for standard and precise positioning with GNSS (global navigation satellite system). RTKLIB consists of a portable program library and several APs (application programs) utilizing the library. The features of RTKLIB are:

(1) It supports standard and precise positioning algorithms with:
GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, QZSS, BeiDou and SBAS
(2) It supports various positioning modes with GNSS for both real-time and post-processing:
Single, DGPS/DGNSS, Kinematic, Static, Moving-Baseline, Fixed, PPP-Kinematic, PPP-Staticand PPP-Fixed
(3) It supports many standard formats and protocols for GNSS:
RINEX 2.10, 2.11, 2.12 OBS/NAV/GNAV/HNAV/LNAV/QNAV, RINEX 3.00, 3.01, 3.02 OBS/NAV, RINEX 3.02 CLK, RTCM ver.2.3, RTCM ver.3.1 (with amendment 1-5), ver.3.2, BINEX, NTRIP 1.0, RTCA/DO-229C, NMEA 0183, SP3-c, ANTEX 1.4, IONEX 1.0, NGS PCV and EMS 2.0 (refer the Manual for details)
(4) It supports several GNSS receivers' proprietary messages:
NovAtel: OEM4/V/6, OEM3, OEMStar, Superstar II, Hemisphere: Eclipse, Crescent, u-blox: LEA-4T/5T/6T, SkyTraq: S1315F, JAVAD: GRIL/GREIS, Furuno: GW-10 II/III and NVS NV08C BINR (refer the Manual for details)
(6) It supports external communication via:
Serial, TCP/IP, NTRIP, local log file (record and playback) and FTP/HTTP (automatic download)
(7) It provides many library functions and APIs for GNSS data processing:
Satellite and navigation system functions, matrix and vector functions, time and string functions, coordinates transformation, input and output functions, debug trace functions, platform dependent functions, positioning models, atmosphere models, antenna models, earth tides models, geoid models, datum transformation, RINEX functions, ephemeris and clock functions, precise ephemeris and clock functions, receiver raw data functions, RTCM functions, solution functions, Google Earth KML converter, SBAS functions, options functions, stream data input and output functions, integer ambiguity resolution, standard positioning, precise positioning, post-processing positioning, stream server functions, RTK server functions, downloader functions
(8) It includes the following GUI and CUI APs:
Function GUI AP CUI AP Notes
(a) AP Launcher RTKLAUNCH -
(b) Real-Time Positioning RTKNAVI RTKRCV
(c) Communication Server STRSVR STR2STR
(d) Post-Processing Analysis RTKPOST RNX2RTKP
(e) RINEX Converter RTKCONV CONVBIN
(f) Plot Solutions and Observation Data RTKPLOT -
(g) Downloader of GNSS Data RTKGET -
(h) NTRIP Browser SRCTBLBROWS -
(9) All of the executable binary APs for Windows are included in the package as well as whole source programs of the library and the APs.

System Requirement

The executable binary GUI and CUI APs included in the package require Microsoft Windows environment. On the other OS or environment, you have to compile and build CUI APs by yourself.
All of the library functions and APIs were written in ANSI C (C89). The library internally uses winsock and WIN32 thread for Windows with the compiler option -DWIN32 and the standard socket and pthread (POSIX thread) for Linux/UNIX without any option. By setting the compiler option -DLAPACK or -DMKL, the library uses LAPACK/BLAS or Intel MKL for fast matrix computation.
The CUI APs were written in ANSI C. The library and CUI APs can be built on many environments like gcc on Linux. The GUI APs were written in C++ and utilize Embarcadero/Borland VCL (visual component library) for GUI toolkits. All of the executable binary APs in the package were built by Embarcadero C++ builder XE2 Starter Edition on Windows 7. The executable GUI APs were tested on Windows 7 (64bit). The CUI APs were also built and tested on Ubuntu 11.04 Linux and x86 CPU.
Notes: Previous versions of RTKLIB until ver. 2.4.1 were built by a free edition of Borland C++ (Turbo C++ 2006). Turbo C++, however, is no longer supported in ver. 2.4.2 because of a type incompatibility problem of GUI strings between ver.2.4.2 and the previous ones.
