TransformsV2

TransformsV2 is the second generation data transformation library in WhiskerToolbox, designed for high performance, type safety, and composability.

Key Goals

• Type Safety: Leveraging C++20 concepts and strong typing to prevent runtime errors where possible.
• Performance: Minimizing allocations through “Fusion” of element-wise operations.
• Flexibility: Supporting complex pipelines that can be defined at runtime (e.g., via JSON) or compile-time.
• Lifting: Automatically generalizing element-wise operations (like Mask2D -> Point2D) to work on containers (like MaskData).

• Architecture: Deep dive into how pipelines, lifting, and fusion work.
• Adding Transforms: Guide to implementing and registering new transforms.
• Tensor Inspector: Developer notes on the Tensor Inspector widget.
