49.5. Warp IP Software API

The Warp IP software is implemented in C and C++. This topic describes the API functions in the code and provides code examples.
Figure 129. Warp software architecture

The software includes:

  • intel_vvp_warp_driver
  • intel_vvp_warp_data
  • intel_vvp_warp_mesh

The intel_vvp_warp_driver is the warp IP driver. It provides API for initializing, configuring, and controlling the Warp IP, warp video channel management, and using debug features.

The intel_vvp_warp_data is the software component that generates mesh, cache, and filter coefficient data required by the warp IP. Place generated data in a region of RAM accessed by the warp IP. This location and other necessary parameters are passed to the warp driver.

This component requires transformation mesh in a predefined format as the main input data. It also requires some IP parameters e.g. number of available engines, processing block dimensions, block cache size.

The intel_vvp_warp_mesh is the software component that generates warp meshes for common affine transformations such as translation, rotation, zoom; perspective transformations e.g. keystone and radial distortion (fisheye) and arbitrary warps defined by a set of curves. Meshes are generated in the format required by the intel_vvp_warp_data interface.

You can use this reference software in a number of real-world applications. However, in some more complex cases you might want to use external software to generate transformation mesh. For example, when projecting image onto a complex surface.

You can deploy the software on a Nios II based system. However, because of computational intensity of the mesh and data generating components, Intel recommends an SoC with a dedicated CPU such as an Intel Arria 10 SX device.

 intel_vvp_warp_mesh 
 
   
This reference software component allows you to generate sample warp meshes for common affine transformations, perspective transformations, radial distortion compensation and arbitrary transforms defined by a set of curves. 
 
   
The main object of the component is WarpConfigurator. The  WarpConfigurator  provides the following three types of warp configurations that the host application can use independently.: 
 
   
 
   

    Figure 130. Fixed warp 
 In the fixed warp configuration a set of affine transformations such as translation, rotation, scaling, perspective correction as well as radial distortion (fisheye) compensation are configured individually using corresponding API calls. 
 
    
 
      
    
 
   
 
   

    Figure 131. 4x corner warp 
In the 4x corner configuration affine and perspective transformations are defined using four points positioned in or around the screen area; This configuration also allows to apply radial distortion compensation. 
 
    
 
      
    
 
   
 
   

    Figure 132. Arbitrary warp 
 Arbitrary transformation is defined by a set of curves controlled by a fixed number of control points (knots). 
 
    
 
      
    
 
   
 
   
Warp meshes are tied to a specific input and output video resolution. The user must set these accordingly before generating a mesh. 
 
   
Offset, sizes and positions are accepted as absolute values in pixels. To allow for sub-pixel precision floating-point type is used. Internally these parameters normalized to the [0..1] range using current output resolution and kept in this form. The warp automatically fits into the new output resolution if it changes.
