Viz2D

Viz2D is a 2D visualization library based on OpenCV. It features OpenGL/OpenCL/VAAPI interoperability. It should be included in OpenCV-contrib once it is ready.

Demos

The goal of the demos is to show how to use Viz2d in conjunction with interop options on Linux to create programs that run mostly (the part the matters) on the GPU. Until the necessary changes are pulled into the official repository you need to build my fork of OpenCV 4.x.

• The author of the bunny video is (c) copyright Blender Foundation | www.bigbuckbunny.org.
• The author of the dance video is GNI Dance Company (Original video)
• The author of the video used in the beauty-demo video is Kristen Leanne (Original video)

Requirements

• Support for OpenCL 1.2
• Support for cl_khr_gl_sharing and cl_intel_va_api_media_sharing OpenCL extensions.
• If you are on a recent Intel Platform (Gen8 - Gen12) you need to install an alternative compute-runtime

Dependencies

• EGL
• GLEW
• GLFW3
• nanovg
• nanogui

There are currently eight demos. The shader-demo, font-demo and optflow-demo can be compiled using emscripten but for now you have to figure out how to do it yourself :).

tetra-demo

Renders a rainbow tetrahedron on blue background using OpenGL, applies a glow effect using OpenCV (OpenCL) and encodes on the GPU (VAAPI).

video-demo

Renders a rainbow tetrahedron on top of a input-video using OpenGL, applies a glow effect using OpenCV (OpenCL) and decodes/encodes on the GPU (VAAPI).

shader-demo

Renders a mandelbrot fractal zoom. Uses shaders, OpenCL and VAAPI together.

nanovg-demo

Renders a color wheel on top of an input-video using nanovg (OpenGL), does colorspace conversions using OpenCV (OpenCL) and decodes/encodes on the GPU (VAAPI).

font-demo

Renders a Star Wars like text crawl using nanovg (OpenGL), uses OpenCV (OpenCL) for a pseudo 3D effect and encodes on the GPU (VAAPI).

optflow-demo

My take on a optical flow visualization on top of a video. Uses background subtraction (OpenCV/OpenCL) to isolate areas with motion, detects features to track (OpenCV/OpenCL), calculates the optical flow (OpenCV/OpenCL), uses nanovg for rendering (OpenGL) and post-processes the video (OpenCL). Decodes/encodes on the GPU (VAAPI).

pedestrian-demo

Pedestrian detection using HOG with a linear SVM, non-maximal suppression and tracking using KCF. Uses nanovg for rendering (OpenGL), detects using a linear SVM (OpenCV/OpenCL), filters resuls using NMS (CPU) and tracks using KCF (CPU). Decodes/encodes on the GPU (VAAPI).

beauty-demo

Face beautification using face landmark detection (OpenCV/OpenCL), nanovg (OpenGL) for drawing masks and multi-band (OpenCV/OpenCL) blending to put it all together. Note: There are sometimes little glitches because face landmark detection is not very accurate and has rather few points.
