Re: ImageUnit needs to know exact dimensions of image

I think you probably need to transform the point into the coordinate space of the sampler. This post by John Harper has a good summary of the coordinate spaces:

Hello there,

I'm trying to write an ImageUnit which depends on the size of the image.

At first I tried around with the QuartzComposer Kernel Filter to write the core function.

There everything works fine. I was using "samplerSize( scrImage );" to get the correct dimensions for the filter.

Then I wrapped an ImageUnit around that and tested it against Core Image Fun House.

There the results highly depend on the image size.

If the image is small enough to fit into the screen then it looks as expected.

If not then the filter uses somehow wrong parameters. It looks like the samplerSize returns the dimensions of the window of the scaled down image but applies the filter to the full sized image.

The result is that the center of  my filter moves into the lower left corner and does no longer result in a centric distortion.

How can I pass the dimensions to the CIKernel ?

I Tried an extent.size.width but it does not work. The ImageUnitAnalyzer fails and Core Image Fun House does not show any effect but the Console.log shows :

17.02.08 15:53:41 Core Image Fun House[2203] CoreImageUnitsFilter: CoreImageUnitsFilter: nil value for argument #2 (Width) 

piece of code:

- (CIImage *)outputImage

{

    float radius = 0.0f;

    CISampler *src;

    

    src = "">CISampler samplerWithImage:inputImage];

    return [self apply:_kwasiImageUnitsFilterKernel, src,

        [NSNumber numberWithFloat: [inputAmount floatValue]],

[inputImage extent].size.width, [inputImage extent].size.height, nil];

}

Thanks in advance,

Michael
