Data Structure Documentation

◆ VPIKeypoint

struct VPIKeypoint

Stores a keypoint coordinate.

The coordinate is relative to the top-left corner of an image.

Definition at line 273 of file Types.h.

+ Collaboration diagram for VPIKeypoint:
Data Fields
float x Keypoint's x coordinate.
float y Keypoint's y coordinate.

◆ VPIHomographyTransform2D

struct VPIHomographyTransform2D

Stores a generic 2D homography transform.

When only scale and translation transformation is needed, these parameters must be arranged in the matrix as follows:

\[ \begin{bmatrix} s_x & 0 & p_x \\ 0 & s_y & p_y \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \]

Scaling \((s_x,s_y)\) is relative to the center of the patch, position \((p_x,p_y)\) is relative to the top-left of the image.

In the general case, given an homogeneous 2D point \(P(x,y,1)\) and the matrix \(M^{3x3}\), the Euclidean 2D point \(O(x,y)\) is defined as

\begin{align} T &= M \cdot P \\ O &= (T_x/T_z, T_y/T_z) \end{align}

Definition at line 303 of file Types.h.

+ Collaboration diagram for VPIHomographyTransform2D:
Data Fields
float mat3[3][3] 3x3 homogeneous matrix that defines the homography.

◆ VPIBoundingBox

struct VPIBoundingBox

Stores a generic 2D bounding box.

Although this structure can store a 2D bounding box transformed by any homography, most of the time it stores an axis-aligned bounding box. To retrieve it, do the following:

float x = xform.mat3[0][2];
float y = xform.mat3[1][2];
float w = width * xform.mat3[0][0];
float h = height * xform.mat3[1][1];
float width
Bounding box width.
Definition: Types.h:326
float height
Bounding box height.
Definition: Types.h:327
VPIHomographyTransform2D xform
Defines the bounding box top left corner and its homography.
Definition: Types.h:325
float mat3[3][3]
3x3 homogeneous matrix that defines the homography.
Definition: Types.h:305

Definition at line 323 of file Types.h.

+ Collaboration diagram for VPIBoundingBox:
Data Fields
float height Bounding box height.
float width Bounding box width.
VPIHomographyTransform2D xform Defines the bounding box top left corner and its homography.

Macro Definition Documentation

◆ VPI_TERMINATION_CRITERIA_ITERATIONS

#define VPI_TERMINATION_CRITERIA_ITERATIONS   (1u << 0)

#include <vpi/Types.h>

Defines the termination criteria macros.

Termination based on maximum number of iterations.

Definition at line 404 of file Types.h.

Enumeration Type Documentation

◆ VPIBorderExtension

#include <vpi/Types.h>

Image border extension specify how pixel values outside of the image domain should be constructed.

Enumerator
VPI_BORDER_ZERO 

All pixels outside the image are considered to be zero.

VPI_BORDER_CLAMP 

Border pixels are repeated indefinitely.

VPI_BORDER_REFLECT 

edcba|abcde|edcba

VPI_BORDER_MIRROR 

dedcb|abcde|dcbab

Definition at line 235 of file Types.h.

◆ VPIEventState

#include <vpi/Types.h>

Defines the states of the event.

Enumerator
VPI_EVENT_STATE_NOT_SIGNALED 

Event is not signaled yet.

VPI_EVENT_STATE_SIGNALED 

Event has been signaled.

Definition at line 461 of file Types.h.

◆ VPIInterpolationType

#include <vpi/Interpolation.h>

Interpolation types supported by several algorithms.

Enumerator
VPI_INTERP_NEAREST 

Nearest neighbor interpolation.

\[ P(x,y) = \mathit{in}[\lfloor x+0.5 \rfloor, \lfloor y+0.5 \rfloor] \]

VPI_INTERP_LINEAR 

Linear interpolation.

Interpolation weights are defined as:

\begin{align*} w_0(t)& \triangleq t-\lfloor t \rfloor \\ w_1(t)& \triangleq 1 - w_0(t) \\ \end{align*}

Bilinear-interpolated value is given by the formula below:

\[ P(x,y) = \sum_{p=0}^1 \sum_{q=0}^1 \mathit{in}[\lfloor x \rfloor+p, \lfloor y \rfloor+q]w_p(x)w_q(y) \]

VPI_INTERP_CATMULL_ROM 

Catmull-Rom cubic interpolation.

Catmull-Rom interpolation weights with \(A=-0.5\) are defined as follows:

\begin{eqnarray*} w_0(t) &\triangleq& A(t+1)^3 &-& 5A(t+1)^2 &+& 8A(t+1) &-& 4A \\ w_1(t) &\triangleq& (A+2)t^3 &-& (A+3)t^2 &\nonumber& &+& 1 \\ w_2(t) &\triangleq& (A+2)(1-t)^3 &-& (A+3)(1-t)^2 &\nonumber& &+& 1 \\ w_3(t) &\triangleq& \rlap{1 - w_0(t) - w_1(t) - w_2(t) } \end{eqnarray*}

Bicubic-interpolated value is given by the formula below:

\[ P(x,y) = \sum_{p=-1}^2 \sum_{q=-1}^2 \mathit{in}[\lfloor x \rfloor+p, \lfloor y \rfloor+q]w_p(x)w_q(y) \]

Definition at line 69 of file Interpolation.h.

◆ VPILockMode

#include <vpi/Types.h>

Defines the lock modes used by memory lock functions.

Enumerator
VPI_LOCK_READ 

Lock memory only for reading.

Writing to the memory when locking for reading leads to undefined behavior.

VPI_LOCK_WRITE 

Lock memory only for writing.

Reading to the memory when locking for reading leads to undefined behavior. It is expected that the whole memory is written to. If there are regions not written, it might not be updated correctly during unlock. In this case, it's better to use VPI_LOCK_READ_WRITE.

It might be slightly efficient to lock only for writing, specially when performing non-shared memory mapping.

VPI_LOCK_READ_WRITE 

Lock memory for reading and writing.

Definition at line 379 of file Types.h.

◆ VPIOpticalFlowQuality

#include <vpi/Types.h>

Defines the quality of the optical flow algorithm.

Enumerator
VPI_OPTICAL_FLOW_QUALITY_LOW 

Fast but low quality optical flow implementation.

VPI_OPTICAL_FLOW_QUALITY_MEDIUM 

Speed and quality in between of VPI_OPTICAL_FLOW_QUALITY_LOW and VPI_OPTICAL_FLOW_QUALITY_HIGH.

VPI_OPTICAL_FLOW_QUALITY_HIGH 

Slow but high quality optical flow implementation.

Definition at line 363 of file Types.h.
