[vtkusers] vtkImageData Reflection

[Cameron Lowell Palmer]

OK, so I’m taking your advice and putting things back the way they were.

I spent 45+ minutes trying to figure out how to make vtkImageData reflect using vtkImageFlip. So I gave up and just used the Accelerate Framework in iOS to get the job done which was trivial. Would be nice if someone could give an example that works within the context of VES, because the example I found was making calls into VTK actors and mappers that aren’t available (in an obvious way) to VES.

                void *rawPixelData = malloc(videoFrame.totalBytes);
        vImage_Buffer mirrorImageBuffer;
        mirrorImageBuffer.width = videoFrame.width;
        mirrorImageBuffer.height = videoFrame.height;
        mirrorImageBuffer.rowBytes = videoFrame.bytesPerRow;
        mirrorImageBuffer.data = rawPixelData;
        vImageVerticalReflect_ARGB8888(&rgbaImageBuffer, &mirrorImageBuffer, kvImageDoNotTile);

…

        free(rawPixelData);

My thought was that within the vesKiwiImagePlaneDataRepresentation you could just flip the image in setImageData, but I felt to do it there I would be down to manipulating the shader per usual and I’m loath to do that.

I don't know if that's a supremely bad idea, but it may make life complicated if you want to display anything else besides the image :-)

It might be safest to just flip the image with the vtkImageFlip filter or flip the order of pixels in the incoming image yourself.

On a scale of 1 to supremely bad idea, how about flipping the location of the camera and view up?

I did precisely that by making the camera face the positive z-axis, this also required me to flip the Y-Axis by changing the view up. I thought the issue was that the camera facing the negative z-axis and therefore was seeing the backside of the image.

Cameron,

It looks like your camera's convention for image origin and VTK's disagree. You could correct it in the display by scaling the reversed axis of the actor that displays the image by -1, or you can flip the data after import with a vtkImageFlip filiter.

HTH,
Cory

When receiving a camera frame I’m converting to vtkImageData like this:

    auto imageImport = vtkSmartPointer<vtkImageImport>::New();
    imageImport->SetDataSpacing(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f);
    imageImport->SetDataOrigin(0.f, 0.f, 0.f);
    imageImport->SetWholeExtent(0.f, videoFrame.width - 1.f, 0.f, videoFrame.height - 1.f, 0.f, 0.f);
    imageImport->SetDataExtentToWholeExtent();
    imageImport->SetDataScalarTypeToUnsignedChar();
    imageImport->SetNumberOfScalarComponents(4);
    imageImport->SetImportVoidPointer(videoFrame.rawPixelData);
    imageImport->Update();

    vtkSmartPointer<vtkImageData> imageData = imageImport->GetOutput();

It works, but adding this to an image plane the image is mirrored across the Y-axis (right-left). Am I doing this image conversion correctly?
