Overview

GPUImage 3 is the third generation of the GPUImage framework, an open source project for performing GPU-accelerated image and video processing on Mac and iOS. The original GPUImage framework was written in Objective-C and targeted Mac and iOS, the second iteration rewritten in Swift using OpenGL to target Mac, iOS, and Linux, and now this third generation is redesigned to use Metal in place of OpenGL.

The objective of the framework is to make it as easy as possible to set up and perform realtime video processing or machine vision against image or video sources. Previous iterations of this framework wrapped OpenGL (ES), hiding much of the boilerplate code required to render images on the GPU using custom vertex and fragment shaders. This version of the framework replaces OpenGL (ES) with Metal. Largely driven by Apple's deprecation of OpenGL (ES) on their platforms in favor of Metal, it will allow for exploring performance optimizations over OpenGL and a tighter integration with Metal-based frameworks and operations.

The API is a clone of that used in GPUImage 2, and is intended to be a drop-in replacement for that version of the framework. Swapping between Metal and OpenGL versions of the framework should be as simple as changing which framework your application is linked against. A few low-level interfaces, such as those around texture input and output, will necessarily be Metal- or OpenGL-specific, but everything else is designed to be compatible between the two.

As of this point, we are not approving enhancement requests from outside contributors. We are actively working to port all of the functionality between this version of GPUImage and previous versions. Once this task has been completed we will be happy to take community contributions.

Technical requirements

  • Swift 5.5
  • Xcode 13.0 or higher on Mac or iOS
  • iOS: 10.0 or higher
  • OSX: 10.13 or higher

General architecture

The framework relies on the concept of a processing pipeline, where image sources are targeted at image consumers, and so on down the line until images are output to the screen, to image files, to raw data, or to recorded movies. Cameras, movies, still images, and raw data can be inputs into this pipeline. Arbitrarily complex processing operations can be built from a combination of a series of smaller operations.

This is an object-oriented framework, with classes that encapsulate inputs, processing operations, and outputs. The processing operations use Metal vertex and fragment shaders to perform their image manipulations on the GPU.

Examples for usage of the framework in common applications are shown below.

Using GPUImage in a Mac or iOS application

GPUImage is provided as a Swift package. To add it to your Mac or iOS application, go to your project settings, choose Package Dependencies, and click the plus button. Enter this repository's URL in the upper-right and hit enter. GPUImage will appear as a package dependency of your project.

In any of your Swift files that reference GPUImage classes, simply add

import GPUImage

and you should be ready to go.

Note that you may need to build your project once to parse and build the GPUImage framework in order for Xcode to stop warning you about the framework and its classes being missing.

Performing common tasks

Filtering live video

To filter live video from a Mac or iOS camera, you can write code like the following:

do {
    camera = try Camera(sessionPreset:.vga640x480)
    filter = SaturationAdjustment()
    camera --> filter --> renderView
    camera.startCapture()
} catch {
    fatalError("Could not initialize rendering pipeline: \(error)")
}

where renderView is an instance of RenderView that you've placed somewhere in your view hierarchy. The above instantiates a 640x480 camera instance, creates a saturation filter, and directs camera frames to be processed through the saturation filter on their way to the screen. startCapture() initiates the camera capture process.

The --> operator chains an image source to an image consumer, and many of these can be chained in the same line.

Writing a custom image processing operation

The framework uses a series of protocols to define types that can output images to be processed, take in an image for processing, or do both. These are the ImageSource, ImageConsumer, and ImageProcessingOperation protocols, respectively. Any type can comply to these, but typically classes are used.

Many common filters and other image processing operations can be described as subclasses of the BasicOperation class. BasicOperation provides much of the internal code required for taking in an image frame from one or more inputs, rendering a rectangular image (quad) from those inputs using a specified shader program, and providing that image to all of its targets. Variants on BasicOperation, such as TextureSamplingOperation or TwoStageOperation, provide additional information to the shader program that may be needed for certain kinds of operations.

To build a simple, one-input filter, you may not even need to create a subclass of your own. All you need to do is supply a fragment shader and the number of inputs needed when instantiating a BasicOperation:

let myFilter = BasicOperation(fragmentFunctionName:"myFilterFragmentFunction", numberOfInputs:1)

A shader program is composed of matched vertex and fragment shaders that are compiled and linked together into one program. By default, the framework uses a series of stock vertex shaders based on the number of input images feeding into an operation. Usually, all you'll need to do is provide the custom fragment shader that is used to perform your filtering or other processing.

Fragment shaders used by GPUImage look something like this:

#include <metal_stdlib>
#include "OperationShaderTypes.h"

using namespace metal;

fragment half4 passthroughFragment(SingleInputVertexIO fragmentInput [[stage_in]],
                                   texture2d<half> inputTexture [[texture(0)]])
{
    constexpr sampler quadSampler;
    half4 color = inputTexture.sample(quadSampler, fragmentInput.textureCoordinate);

    return color;
}

and are saved within .metal files that are compiled at the same time as the framework / your project.

Grouping operations

If you wish to group a series of operations into a single unit to pass around, you can create a new instance of OperationGroup. OperationGroup provides a configureGroup property that takes a closure which specifies how the group should be configured:

let boxBlur = BoxBlur()
let contrast = ContrastAdjustment()

let myGroup = OperationGroup()

myGroup.configureGroup{input, output in
    input --> self.boxBlur --> self.contrast --> output
}

Frames coming in to the OperationGroup are represented by the input in the above closure, and frames going out of the entire group by the output. After setup, myGroup in the above will appear like any other operation, even though it is composed of multiple sub-operations. This group can then be passed or worked with like a single operation.

Interacting with Metal

[TODO: Rework for Metal]

Common types

The framework uses several platform-independent types to represent common values. Generally, floating-point inputs are taken in as Floats. Sizes are specified using Size types (constructed by initializing with width and height). Colors are handled via the Color type, where you provide the normalized-to-1.0 color values for red, green, blue, and optionally alpha components.

Positions can be provided in 2-D and 3-D coordinates. If a Position is created by only specifying X and Y values, it will be handled as a 2-D point. If an optional Z coordinate is also provided, it will be dealt with as a 3-D point.

Matrices come in Matrix3x3 and Matrix4x4 varieties. These matrices can be build using a row-major array of Floats, or can be initialized from CATransform3D or CGAffineTransform structs.

Built-in operations

Operations are currently being ported over from GPUImage 2. Here are the ones that are currently functional:

Color adjustments

  • BrightnessAdjustment: Adjusts the brightness of the image. Described in detail here.

First, use your favourite photo editing application to apply a filter to lookup.png from framework/Operations/LookupImages. For this to work properly each pixel color must not depend on other pixels (e.g. blur will not work). If you need a more complex filter you can create as many lookup tables as required. Once ready, use your new lookup.png file as the basis of a PictureInput that you provide for the lookupImage property.

    • intensity: The intensity of the applied effect, from 0.0 (stock image) to 1.0 (fully applied effect).
