Detailed Description

Algorithm used to estimate the motion vectors from previous image to current image.

Refer to Dense Optical Flow for more details and usage examples.

Function Documentation

VPIStatus vpiCreateOpticalFlowDense	(	uint64_t	backends,
		int32_t	width,
		int32_t	height,
		VPIImageFormat	inputFmt,
		VPIOpticalFlowQuality	quality,
		VPIPayload *	payload
	)

Parameters

[in]	backends	VPI backends that are eligible to execute the algorithm. Supported backends: VPI_BACKEND_NVENC Backend must be enabled in current context.
[in]	width,height	Dimensions of current and previous image. Must be >= 0.
[in]	inputFmt	Format of current and previous image. The accepted image formats are: VPI_IMAGE_FORMAT_NV12_BL VPI_IMAGE_FORMAT_NV12_ER_BL
[in]	quality	Quality of the dense optical flow algorithm.
[out]	payload	Pointer to the payload variable that receives the created handle.

Return values

VPI_IMAGE_FORMAT_INVALID	`inputFmt` is not supported.
VPI_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT	`payload` is NULL.
VPI_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT	`width` or `height` outside valid range.
VPI_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT	`backends` refers to an invalid backend.
VPI_ERROR_INVALID_OPERATION	Backend hardware not available.
VPI_ERROR_INVALID_OPERATION	Backend isn't enabled in current context.
VPI_ERROR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED	Dense Optical Flow algorithm is not supported by given backends.
VPI_ERROR_INVALID_CONTEXT	Current context is destroyed.
VPI_ERROR_OUT_OF_MEMORY	Cannot allocate required resources.
VPI_SUCCESS	Operation executed successfully.

VPIStatus vpiSubmitOpticalFlowDense	(	VPIStream	stream,
		uint64_t	backend,
		VPIPayload	payload,
		VPIImage	prevImg,
		VPIImage	curImg,
		VPIImage	mvImg
	)

Runs dense Optical Flow on two frames.

Outputs motion vectors for every 4x4 pixel block in the input image.

Parameters

[in]	stream	The stream where the operation will be queued in. Must not be NULL. Stream must have enabled the backends that will execute the algorithm.
[in]	backend	Backend that will execute the algorithm. Must be the backend specified during payload creation or 0 as a shorthand to use this backend.
[in]	payload	Payload created by vpiCreateOpticalFlowDense.
[in]	prevImg	Previous frame. Must not be NULL. Must have same format and dimensions as the one specified during payload creation. Image must have enabled the backends that will execute the algorithm.
[in]	curImg	Current frame. Must not be NULL. Must have same format and dimensions as `prevImg`. Image must have enabled the backends that will execute the algorithm.
[out]	mvImg	Motion vectors output. Must not be NULL. Image must have enabled the backends that will execute the algorithm. On NVENC, dimensions must be 1/4 of `curImg`. Supported formats: VPI_IMAGE_FORMAT_2S16_BL is supported. Motion vector is in fixed point S10.5 format.

Return values

VPI_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT	`stream` is NULL.
VPI_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT	`prevImg`, `curImg` or `mvImg` are NULL.
VPI_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT	`payload` is not generated using vpiCreateOpticalFlowDense.
VPI_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT	`prevImg` and `curImg` dimensions does not match the one associated with the `payload`.
VPI_ERROR_INVALID_IMAGE_FORMAT	`prevImg` and `curImg` format does not match the one associated with the `payload`.
VPI_ERROR_INVALID_PAYLOAD_TYPE	`payload` is invalid.
VPI_ERROR_INVALID_OPERATION	The needed backends aren't enabled in `stream`, `prevImg`, `curImg` or `mvImg`.
VPI_SUCCESS	Operation executed successfully.
