Subject

When a GoPro camera creates a media either video or jpg, it embeds specific data in a dedicated track (called GPMF), containing many information about the context, the sensors (image, movements…), the scene (face/smile/blink detection, object tracking…), the decisions made by the camera, the parameters applied to the image, but also debug logs.

This data is then used by the Mobile App to help create automatic edits. It is also used during the development of the camera, by engineers, to analyze the defects or bugs raised by field testing.

Today we have an internal Python & HTML-based tool which extracts and displays some information contained in the media but it’s old, relies on lots of legacy, and becomes difficult to maintain and make evolve.

On the other hand, during the last two years, a new debug tool, with graphical interface was developed (called gpdev-gui), able to communicate in real time with the camera, in a very reliable way (implementation in Rust), to control and analyze many aspects of the camera.

The purpose of this internship is to implement a visualizer of GPMF data in gpdev-gui, to combine this aspect with other existing debug features in gpdev-gui.

What You Will Do

  • Analyze the GPMF format, the current tools, their legacy & the way it works
  • Study the design & architecture of the new debug tool “gpdev-gui”
  • Propose a design & development roadmap of the various GPMF data to visualize
  • Implement the solution, with proper test coverage
  • Produce design documents and code documentation
  • Bonus: add a similar feature as in html viewer, decoding the original media and synchronizing the timelines between data & video/audio
