ocsenave@264: * JMonkeyEngine natively supports multiple views of the same world.
ocsenave@264:
rlm@212: Vision is one of the most important senses for humans, so I need to
rlm@212: build a simulated sense of vision for my AI. I will do this with
rlm@306: simulated eyes. Each eye can be independently moved and should see its
rlm@212: own version of the world depending on where it is.
rlm@212:
rlm@306: Making these simulated eyes a reality is simple because jMonkeyEngine
rlm@306: already contains extensive support for multiple views of the same 3D
rlm@218: simulated world. The reason jMonkeyEngine has this support is because
rlm@218: the support is necessary to create games with split-screen
rlm@218: views. Multiple views are also used to create efficient
rlm@212: pseudo-reflections by rendering the scene from a certain perspective
rlm@212: and then projecting it back onto a surface in the 3D world.
rlm@212:
rlm@218: #+caption: jMonkeyEngine supports multiple views to enable split-screen games, like GoldenEye, which was one of the first games to use split-screen views.

ocsenave@264: ** =ViewPorts=, =SceneProcessors=, and the =RenderManager=.
rlm@306: # =ViewPorts= are cameras; =RenderManger= takes snapshots each frame.
ocsenave@264: #* A Brief Description of jMonkeyEngine's Rendering Pipeline
rlm@212:
rlm@213: jMonkeyEngine allows you to create a =ViewPort=, which represents a
rlm@213: view of the simulated world. You can create as many of these as you
rlm@213: want. Every frame, the =RenderManager= iterates through each
rlm@213: =ViewPort=, rendering the scene in the GPU. For each =ViewPort= there
rlm@213: is a =FrameBuffer= which represents the rendered image in the GPU.
rlm@151:
rlm@306: #+caption: =ViewPorts= are cameras in the world. During each frame, the =RenderManager= records a snapshot of what each view is currently seeing; these snapshots are =FrameBuffer= objects.
ocsenave@265: #+ATTR_HTML: width="400"
ocsenave@272: [[../images/diagram_rendermanager2.png]]
ocsenave@262:
rlm@213: Each =ViewPort= can have any number of attached =SceneProcessor=
rlm@213: objects, which are called every time a new frame is rendered. A
rlm@306: =SceneProcessor= receives its =ViewPort's= =FrameBuffer= and can do
rlm@219: whatever it wants to the data. Often this consists of invoking GPU
rlm@219: specific operations on the rendered image. The =SceneProcessor= can
rlm@219: also copy the GPU image data to RAM and process it with the CPU.
rlm@151:
ocsenave@264: ** From Views to Vision
ocsenave@264: # Appropriating Views for Vision.
rlm@151:
ocsenave@264: Each eye in the simulated creature needs its own =ViewPort= so that
rlm@213: it can see the world from its own perspective. To this =ViewPort=, I
rlm@306: add a =SceneProcessor= that feeds the visual data to any arbitrary
rlm@213: continuation function for further processing. That continuation
rlm@213: function may perform both CPU and GPU operations on the data. To make
rlm@213: this easy for the continuation function, the =SceneProcessor=
rlm@306: maintains appropriately sized buffers in RAM to hold the data. It does
rlm@218: not do any copying from the GPU to the CPU itself because it is a slow
rlm@218: operation.

rlm@214: Here, the camera is created based on metadata on the eye-node and
rlm@273: attached to the nearest physical object with =bind-sense=
rlm@214: ** The Retina
rlm@214:
rlm@214: An eye is a surface (the retina) which contains many discrete sensors
rlm@470: to detect light. These sensors can have different light-sensing
rlm@470: properties. In humans, each discrete sensor is sensitive to red, blue,
rlm@470: green, or gray. These different types of sensors can have different
rlm@470: spatial distributions along the retina. In humans, there is a fovea in
rlm@470: the center of the retina which has a very high density of color
rlm@470: sensors, and a blind spot which has no sensors at all. Sensor density
rlm@470: decreases in proportion to distance from the fovea.
rlm@214:
rlm@214: I want to be able to model any retinal configuration, so my eye-nodes
rlm@214: in blender contain metadata pointing to images that describe the
rlm@306: precise position of the individual sensors using white pixels. The
rlm@306: meta-data also describes the precise sensitivity to light that the
rlm@214: sensors described in the image have. An eye can contain any number of
rlm@214: these images. For example, the metadata for an eye might look like
rlm@214: this:
rlm@214:
rlm@214: #+begin_src clojure
rlm@214: {0xFF0000 "Models/test-creature/retina-small.png"}
rlm@214: #+end_src
rlm@214:
rlm@214: #+caption: The retinal profile image "Models/test-creature/retina-small.png". White pixels are photo-sensitive elements. The distribution of white pixels is denser in the middle and falls off at the edges and is inspired by the human retina.
rlm@214: [[../assets/Models/test-creature/retina-small.png]]
rlm@214:
rlm@214: Together, the number 0xFF0000 and the image image above describe the
rlm@214: placement of red-sensitive sensory elements.
rlm@214:
rlm@214: Meta-data to very crudely approximate a human eye might be something
rlm@214: like this:
rlm@214:
rlm@214: #+begin_src clojure
rlm@214: (let [retinal-profile "Models/test-creature/retina-small.png"]
rlm@214: {0xFF0000 retinal-profile
rlm@214: 0x00FF00 retinal-profile
rlm@214: 0x0000FF retinal-profile
rlm@214: 0xFFFFFF retinal-profile})
rlm@214: #+end_src
rlm@214:
rlm@214: The numbers that serve as keys in the map determine a sensor's
rlm@214: relative sensitivity to the channels red, green, and blue. These
rlm@218: sensitivity values are packed into an integer in the order =|_|R|G|B|=
rlm@218: in 8-bit fields. The RGB values of a pixel in the image are added
rlm@306: together with these sensitivities as linear weights. Therefore,
rlm@214: 0xFF0000 means sensitive to red only while 0xFFFFFF means sensitive to
rlm@214: all colors equally (gray).
rlm@214:
rlm@306: For convenience I've defined a few symbols for the more common
rlm@214: sensitivity values.
