Project Description

Spatial Pixel Mapper is a desktop application for 3D spatial mapping of individually addressable LEDs. Using a pair of

stereo cameras and WLED-compatible controllers, it automatically scans each LED one by one, detects its position in both camera views, and triangulates its precise 3D location in space. The app features automatic WLED device

discovery, per-port LED range selection, adaptive speed and brightness testing to optimize for your specific setup, and a multi-scan workflow that lets you capture from different angles and merge the results into a single unified point cloud. A built-in refine tab provides tools for cleaning up outliers, editing points, and visualizing your mapped installation in an interactive 3D viewer with slice-plane inspection. Once finalized, the completed spatial map can be exported for use in LED mapping and visualization software like Resolume and MadMapper, turning any freeform LED installation — whether it's wrapped around a sculpture, strung across a ceiling, or shaped into a sphere — into a

precisely mapped 3D pixel canvas ready for spatial video and generative content.

Current Capabilities

1. Precision Vision & Calibration System

High-Speed Stereo Capture: Optimized dual-camera pipeline supporting synchronized, high-frame-rate monitoring for real-time spatial tracking.
Intelligent Guided Calibration: A step-by-step wizard that ensures sub-pixel accuracy. It includes automatic pattern detection and visual quality feedback to ensure your hardware is perfectly aligned before you begin.
Hardware Identity Protection: Built-in safeguards that monitor camera configurations to prevent data errors caused by hardware swaps or accidental cable changes.

2. Advanced Spatial Mapping (The Scanning Engine)

Automated LED Discovery: Instant network discovery and control for hardware controllers, allowing for seamless integration with your existing LED setups.
Sub-Pixel "Hotspot" Detection: An advanced light-sensing engine that ignores glare and diffusion to find the exact center of every LED with mathematical precision.
Real-Time 3D Orchestration: A fully automated scanning loop that isolates individual LEDs from background light, triangulating their exact position in 3D space while you watch the map build in real-time.
Confidence Scoring: Every mapped point is assigned a quality score, giving you instant visual feedback on the reliability of your scan data.

3. Professional 3D Visualization & Interaction

Interactive 3D Workspace: A fluid, high-performance viewer featuring orbit, pan, and zoom controls, allowing you to inspect your installation from any angle.
Cross-Section Analysis: Adjustable "Slice Planes" that allow you to cut through your 3D model to inspect specific layers or internal alignments of complex volumetric displays.
Live Sequence Preview: Visualized "pathway" lines that show the physical data flow of your LEDs, making it easy to spot wiring or indexing errors.

4. Data Refinement & Multi-Scan Merging

Intelligent Cleanup Tools: A suite of "Refine" tools including linear interpolation to fill gaps, jitter reduction for smoother lines, and automated outlier snapping to fix misplaced points.
Multi-Session Alignment: Capabilities to merge multiple scans of a single large-scale installation using advanced alignment algorithms, allowing you to map massive projects in manageable sections.
Manual Transform Gizmo: Full manual control over point clouds with a professional "Move/Rotate/Scale" interface, including a comprehensive Undo/Redo system.

5. Workflow & Integration

Per-Port Granular Selection: A dedicated selection interface that reads your hardware's specific wiring. You can choose to scan individual ports, specific ranges, or the entire project with live visual confirmation.
Bulletproof Session Management: A 4-layer redundant save system with auto-backups and crash recovery, ensuring your scan data is never lost.
Universal Export Pipeline: Support for all major industry standards, including Madrix, Resolume, WLED, and ELM, with customizable DMX universe and channel mapping.
Adaptive Performance Testing: Built-in benchmarking that tests your network and hardware environment to recommend the fastest stable scanning speed for your specific location.

Summary of the New 5-Step Workflow

The application has been streamlined into a logical, high-efficiency pipeline:

Setup: Configure hardware and verify camera sightlines.
Select: Choose exactly which LED strings or ports to map with live feedback.
Scan: Watch the 3D point cloud generate automatically in real-time.
Refine: Polish the data, fill gaps, and smooth out the geometry.
Combine: Bring together multiple sessions into one massive, unified installation map.

2D Android Mapping Application and Editor

Features

This 2D LED Mapper is a mobile Android app for mapping the physical 2D positions of individually addressable LED strips, Currently driven by an inexpensive W LED controller. It automatically discovers WLED devices on your network, then uses your phone's camera to scan each LED one-by-one — lighting them up via the WLED artnet and detecting their position in the camera frame using real-time computer vision (VisionCamera + FastOpenCV). Multiple scans and be stitched together in a workspace viewer with automatic alignment, letting you map large installations in overlapping sections. The workspace provides a full suite of non-destructive correction tools: interpolation fills gaps in detection, straighten snaps jittery points onto best-fit lines, spacing lock smooths out outlier positions, and a select mode lets you drag-select groups of LEDs to move, evenly

space, or straighten specific sections. A probe tool lights up LEDs on the physical strip to verify positions match reality. All corrections are reversible through an effects stack. The final mapped layout and be exported for use in LED animation software Not limited to but including Resolume, Madrix, ELM, and WLED, turning a physical layout into a precisely mapped pixel canvas.

LED Performance Controller

This 3D LED Effect Generator is a professional-grade, real-time LED show control applicatio. It features a dual-deck mixing system with a crossfader and 10 blend modes, allowing seamless blending between 68+ built-in visual effects — ranging from classics like rainbow waves and strobes to advanced 3D volumetric effects like DNA helix, vortex, aurora, and even custom GLSL shaders. A 27-effect output FX chain provides post-processingincluding trails, pixelation, axis mirroring, and beat flash. The app is deeply music-reactive, with real-time audio frequency analysis, beat detection, tap tempo, per-effect BPM sync, and full Ableton Link integration. Comprehensive MIDI control with learn mode supports mapping any controller to effect parameters, crossfader, BPM, palette colors, and more. Video clips can be played back from files or captured live via Spout, with frame-accurate in/out points, speed control, and BPM-synced playback. A show sequencer enables timeline-based automation with cued effect changes, crossfader moves, and BPM shifts. Presets are organized in an 8x6 grid browser with unlimited pages, and full show files persist every aspect of a session. Output is transmitted over industry-standard sACN and Art-Net DMX protocols, with a real-time Three.js 3D point-cloud visualizer providing live preview. The entire system runs at 60Hz on dedicated worker threads for reliable, low-latency performance in live installations and performances.
