What

klt::lk_point computes the bilinear weights and the clamped column/row index tables once per window (per level and iteration) instead of calling Plane::sample up to three times per window pixel.

Why

All (2r+1)^2 pixels of a window share one fractional offset. Plane::sample (f64 floor, bounds test, clamp path) was 52 % of Warp Stabilizer analysis time, floor another 8 %.

How

A small Taps table (column pairs, row pairs pre-multiplied by the width, one [f32; 2] fraction) is filled per window with the same clamping as Plane::at; bilerp is Plane::sample's exact lerp form on those indices. lk_point's signature and results are unchanged, so camtrack (which shares klt::track) gets the speed-up too.

Verification

• New test window_taps_match_per_pixel_sampling_bit_for_bit keeps the old per-pixel implementation under #[cfg(test)] and compares to_bits of the result on ~2000 start points (including outside the frame and on the borders, with guesses, two window/iteration settings).
• Warp Stabilizer analysis JSON hash identical before and after (9f4123ecced9a022, 1080p, 80 frames).
• cargo fmt --all --check, cargo clippy -p effectcraft-track --all-targets -- -D warnings, cargo test --release -p effectcraft-track pass.

Numbers

One thread, 1080p synthetic footage, base and branch alternated, 3 rounds each (identical instruction counts across rounds). Instructions include the frame generation, which is the same in both.

Walkthrough

lk_point now resolves bilinear sampling taps for tracking windows and reuses them for image and gradient samples. A test-only reference implementation and comparison test check tracked coordinates and lost-point outcomes.

Changes: KLT sampling optimization

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Resolve and reuse sampling taps crates/track/src/klt.rs	lk_point resolves clamped indices and fractional offsets, then uses bilerp for source and displaced target samples.
Compare optimized and reference tracking crates/track/src/klt.rs	A test-only lk_point_ref retains the previous sampling approach. Tests compare tracked coordinates and lost-point outcomes across varied points, guesses, and options.

Explanation

Directly linked issue #2317 has three coding requirements. All three are implemented in crates/track/src/klt.rs at the reviewed head.

(1) Per-window bilinear weights and clamped index tables. New Taps::set computes the fraction t once and fills xs/ys with clamped column pairs and row pairs pre-multiplied by p.w. It runs once per window, per level, and per iteration (the iteration call uses the shifted centre c + g + v). The clamping uses clamp(0, w-1) and clamp(0, h-1), which matches Plane::at. The fraction (c - 0.5) - floor matches Plane::sample.

(2) Integer-indexed lerps in Plane::sample's form. bilerp computes top = a + (b-a)*t[0], bot = c + (e-c)*t[0], then top + (bot-top)*t[1]. This is the same operation order as the inside path of Plane::sample with ch == 1. Gradients use the same taps on gx.data and gy.data. Both planes have the dimensions of their source level, so clamping against ia is equivalent.

(3) Bit-identical results with tests. The new test window_taps_match_per_pixel_sampling_bit_for_bit keeps lk_point_ref (the old per-pixel code, test-only) and compares to_bits of the results. It covers about 2,400 start points, including borders and out-of-frame points, two option sets, varied guesses, and matching lost-point outcomes. The test is present in the reviewed head.

The issue accepts a theoretical 1-ulp difference at power-of-two crossings. The code applies c + dx in a different order than Plane::sample, so that caveat remains. The Warp Stabilizer JSON hash and the timing figures come from the PR description. I could not verify them from the repository, so they are not counted as evidence here.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The change set, as shown by the whole-PR diff of crates/track/src/klt.rs (merge base 9919048 to head 95721b8), touches only crates/track/src/klt.rs. This matches the issue scope, which lists klt.rs only. Every hunk serves #2317:

• Taps struct and Taps::set: per-window index and fraction tables.
• bilerp: lerp used by the new sampling path.
• lk_point edits: use the taps for the intensity and gradient samples and for the iteration loop. The v1 scratch buffer is removed because it is no longer needed.
• Test-only lk_point_ref and the bit-for-bit test: the oracle that verifies the requirement.

No unrelated refactoring or behaviour change appears in the reviewed diff. I did not verify the list of changed files outside klt.rs by a whole-repository diff. The file-scope conclusion rests on the supplied change summary, which names only klt.rs, and on the issue scope.

Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Preserve sampling for multi-channel planes.

If a caller passes a multi-channel Plane to GrayPyramid::from_plane, lk_point reaches this assertion and panics in debug builds. In release builds, bilerp indexes Plane::data without the channel stride, so tracking samples the wrong values. Plane::sample used the stride. Preserve that indexing in the tap path, or enforce the one-channel requirement at the public constructor.

Notes:

• All numbers are single-thread (RAYON_NUM_THREADS=1), perf stat -e instructions:u (the PRs that quote time use the timed kernel), base and branch alternated, medians. They are kernel/stage measurements from each PR's own benchmark, not one end-to-end number for the whole tracker; the stages mostly act on different features (point tracking, Warp Stabilizer, mask tracking, Roto Brush, camera solve, effect caches), so they do not simply multiply.
• Not every PR is a speedup: Camera tracking: skip unused SVD output work in null-vector queries #2345 is a small gain and Camera tracking: validate solver input and bound workspaces #2341 costs a little on valid input in exchange for fixing the panics and NaN results from camtrack: invalid or non-finite input panics or yields NaN (bundle, select_pose, Track2D) #2330.
• The PRs touch disjoint files except where noted in their bodies (Camera tracking: avoid per-view triangulation allocations #2338/Camera tracking: keep bundle-adjustment Jacobians on the stack #2340/Camera tracking: validate solver input and bound workspaces #2341 share files and merge independently; Reuse the validated Warp Stabilizer plan on first render #2347/Reuse Warp Stabilizer and Camera Tracker analysis keys #2348 share the effects analysis cache and may need adjacent tests combined; Point tracker: refine in a 3x3 neighbourhood when the motion was small #2351 is stacked on Point tracker: candidates share one tap table, gradients only where lk_refine reads them (#2318) #2339; Camera tracking: factor narrow camera systems within their band #2342/Camera tracking: skip unused SVD output work in null-vector queries #2345/Avoid quadratic Schur assembly for long camera tracks #2346 touch camtrack/linalg.rs, umeyama from 3D rotation order, keyed Orientation, linear-to-eased keyframes and Timewarp behave as in After Effects #1876 is untouched).

Merged, thank you @vangel76! It landed on main with a batch of community PRs, after a full workspace build and test run on Windows against the refactored main (fmt, strict clippy, about 4,100 tests, layers, assets and wasm).
