From f184ef0afbe49f77074d778ff8864fea4445dfff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "alexei.dolgolyov" Date: Tue, 12 May 2026 15:05:52 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] perf(capture): vectorize hot paths and fix engine bugs MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit - WGC: replace per-frame ~30 MB BGRA->RGB fancy-index allocation with cv2.cvtColor into a 3-slot pre-allocated RGB pool. Use gc.collect(0) on cleanup instead of full GC to avoid multi-hundred-ms stalls. - MSS: switch from screenshot.rgb (pure-Python BGRA->RGB rebuild) to screenshot.raw + cv2.cvtColor into a pooled buffer. Add cheap 256-byte hash-based change detection so idle frames return None — matches DXcam/BetterCam semantics. - DXcam/BetterCam: fix silent factory leak — Python name-mangling rewrote self._dxcam.__factory to _DXcamCaptureStream__factory inside the class body, so cleanup never reached the real attribute. Use getattr with string literal to bypass mangling. - calculate_dominant_color: replace np.random.choice(replace=False) (full sort) with np.random.randint, and np.unique(axis=0) (lexsort) with packed-RGB np.bincount. ~10x faster on dominant mode. - calibration._map_edge_average: switch cached scratch buffers from float64 to float32. Halves memory bandwidth on the dominant reduction path; range-safe up to 8K screens. - All engines: per-frame DEBUG logs use structlog kwarg style instead of f-strings to avoid per-frame string allocation. --- .../src/ledgrab/core/capture/calibration.py | 25 ++++--- .../ledgrab/core/capture/screen_capture.py | 44 ++++++------ .../core/capture_engines/bettercam_engine.py | 34 ++++++---- .../core/capture_engines/dxcam_engine.py | 34 ++++++---- .../core/capture_engines/mss_engine.py | 68 +++++++++++++++++-- .../core/capture_engines/wgc_engine.py | 57 ++++++++++++++-- 6 files changed, 192 insertions(+), 70 deletions(-) diff --git a/server/src/ledgrab/core/capture/calibration.py b/server/src/ledgrab/core/capture/calibration.py index d783134..1233158 100644 --- a/server/src/ledgrab/core/capture/calibration.py +++ b/server/src/ledgrab/core/capture/calibration.py @@ -443,7 +443,10 @@ class PixelMapper: axis = 1 edge_len = edge_pixels.shape[0] - # Lazy-init / resize per-edge scratch buffers + # Lazy-init / resize per-edge scratch buffers. + # float32 is sufficient: max cumsum value is edge_len * 255 (≈2M @ 8K + # screens) which fits exactly in float32's 24-bit mantissa.
