VFilter C++ interface library

v1.1.4

Overview

VFilter C++ library provides interface as well defines data structures for various video filters implementations. The VFilter interface represents video filter module which has video frames as input and output. The VFilter.h file contains declaration of data structures: VFilterCommand enum, VFilterParam enum, VFilterParams class and VFilter class declaration. The library depends on Frame library (describes data structures for video frames, source code included, Apache 2.0 license) and ConfigReader library (provides methods to read/write JSON config files, source code included, Apache 2.0 license). The library uses C++17 standard, compatiple with Linux and Windows and doesn't have third-party dependencies to be installed in OS. The library is licensed under the Apache 2.0 license.

The VFilter interface class declared in VFilter.h file. Class declaration:

namespace cr
{
namespace video
{
/// Video filter interface class.
class VFilter
{
public:

    /// Class destructor.
    virtual ~VFilter();

    /// Get the version of the VFilter class.
    static std::string getVersion();

    /// Initialize video filter.
    virtual bool initVFilter(VFilterParams& params) = 0;

    static int decodeCommand(uint8_t* data, int size, VFilterParam& paramId,
                                    VFilterCommand& commandId, float& value);

    /// Decode and execute command.
    virtual bool decodeAndExecuteCommand(uint8_t* data, int size) = 0;
};
}
}

getVersion method

The getVersion() static method returns string of current class version. Method declaration:

static std::string getVersion();

Method can be used without VFilter class instance:

std::cout << "VFilter version: " << cr::video::VFilter::getVersion();

Console output:

VFilter class version: 1.1.4

initVFilter method

The initVFilter(...) method initializes video filter but set of parameters. Particular video filter class should initialize only supported parameters from VFilterParams class. Method declaration:

virtual bool initVFilter(VFilterParams& params) = 0;

Parameter	Value
params	VFilterParams class object. Particular video filter class may not support all params listed in VFilterParams class. If video filter doesn't support particular params, those params should have default values.

Returns: TRUE if the video filter initialized or FALSE if not.

setParam method

The setParam (...) method sets new parameters value. VFilter based library should provide thread-safe setParam(...) method call. This means that the setParam(...) method can be safely called from any thread. Method declaration:

virtual bool setParam(VFilterParam id, float value) = 0;

Parameter	Description
id	Parameter ID according to VFilterParam enum.
value	Parameter value. Value depends on parameter ID.

Returns: TRUE if the parameter was set or FALSE if not.

getParam method

The getParam(...) method returns parameter value. VFilter based library should provide thread-safe getParam(...) method call. This means that the getParam(...) method can be safely called from any thread. Method declaration:

virtual float getParam(VFilterParam id) = 0;

Parameter	Description
id	Parameter ID according to VFilterParam enum.

Returns: parameter value or -1 if the parameters doesn't exist (not supported in particular implementation).

getParams method

The getParams(...) method is designed to obtain all video filter params. VFilter based library should provide thread-safe getParams(...) method call. This means that the getParams(...) method can be safely called from any thread. Method declaration:

virtual void getParams(VFilterParams& params) = 0;

Parameter	Description
params	Reference to VFilterParams object to store params.

executeCommand method

The executeCommand(...) method executes video filter action command. VFilter based library should provide thread-safe executeCommand(...) method call. This means that the executeCommand(...) method can be safely called from any thread. Method declaration:

virtual bool executeCommand(VFilterCommand id) = 0;

Parameter	Description
id	Command ID according to VFilterCommand enum.

Returns: TRUE if the command executed or FALSE if not.

processFrame method

The processFrame(...) method designed to process frame. VFilter based library should provide thread-safe processFrame(...) method call. This means that the processFrame(...) method can be safely called from any thread. Method declaration:

virtual bool processFrame(cr::video::Frame& frame) = 0;

Parameter	Description
frame	Frame object for processing (input and result frame). Particular video filter implementation must keep original video frame resolution (width and height), sourceId and frameId fields.

Returns: TRUE if frame processed or FALSE if not. If filter disabled the method should return TRUE without video frame processing.

setMask method

The setMask(...) method designed to set video filter mask. Method declaration:

virtual bool setMask(cr::video::Frame mask) = 0;

Parameter	Description
mask	Filter mask is Frame object with GRAY, NV12, NV21, YV12 or YU12 pixel format. Filter omits image segments, where filter mask pixel values equal 0.

Returns: TRUE if the filter mask was set or FALSE if not.

encodeSetParamCommand method

The encodeSetParamCommand(...) static method encodes command to change any VFilter parameter value remote. To control any video filter remotely, the developer has to design his own protocol and according to it encode the command and deliver it over the communication channel. To simplify this, the VFilter class contains static methods for encoding the control command. The VFilter class provides two types of commands: a parameter change command (SET_PARAM) and an action command (COMMAND). encodeSetParamCommand(...) designed to encode SET_PARAM command. Method declaration:

static void encodeSetParamCommand(uint8_t* data, int& size, VFilterParam id, float value);

Parameter	Description
data	Pointer to data buffer for encoded command. Must have size >= 11.
size	Size of encoded data. Size will be 11 bytes.
id	Parameter ID according to VFilterParam enum.
value	Parameter value.

encodeSetParamCommand(...) is static and can be used without VFilter class instance. This method used on client side (control system). Command encoding example:

// Buffer for encoded data.
uint8_t data[11];
// Size of encoded data.
int size = 0;
// Random parameter value.
float outValue = static_cast<float>(rand() % 20);
// Encode command.
VFilter::encodeSetParamCommand(data, size, VFilterParam::LEVEL, outValue);

encodeCommand method

The encodeCommand(...) static method encodes action command for VFilter remote control. To control any video filter remotely, the developer has to design his own protocol and according to it encode the command and deliver it over the communication channel. To simplify this, the VFilter class contains static methods for encoding the control command. The VFilter class provides two types of commands: a parameter change command (SET_PARAM) and an action command (COMMAND). encodeCommand(...) designed to encode COMMAND (action command). Method declaration:

static void encodeCommand(uint8_t* data, int& size, VFilterCommand id);

Parameter	Description
data	Pointer to data buffer for encoded command. Must have size >= 7.
size	Size of encoded data. Size will be 7 bytes.
id	Command ID according to VFilterCommand enum.

encodeCommand(...) is static and can be used without VFilter class instance. This method used on client side (control system). Command encoding example:

// Buffer for encoded data.
uint8_t data[7];
// Size of encoded data.
int size = 0;
// Encode command.
VFilter::encodeCommand(data, size, VFilterCommand::RESTART);

decodeCommand method

The decodeCommand(...) static method decodes command on vidoe filter side (on edge device). Method declaration:

static int decodeCommand(uint8_t* data, int size, VFilterParam& paramId, VFilterCommand& commandId, float& value);

Parameter	Description
data	Pointer to input command.
size	Size of command. Must be 11 bytes for SET_PARAM and 7 bytes for COMMAND (action command).
paramId	VFilter parameter ID according to VFilterParam enum. After decoding SET_PARAM command the method will return parameter ID.
commandId	VFilter command ID according to VFilterCommand enum. After decoding COMMAND the method will return command ID.
value	VFilter parameter value (after decoding SET_PARAM command).

Returns: 0 - in case decoding COMMAND (action command), 1 - in case decoding SET_PARAM command or -1 in case errors.

decodeAndExecuteCommand method

The decodeAndExecuteCommand(...) method decodes and executes command encoded by encodeSetParamCommand(...) and encodeCommand(...) methods on video filter side (on edge device). The particular implementation of the VFilter must provide thread-safe decodeAndExecuteCommand(...) method call. This means that the decodeAndExecuteCommand(...) method can be safely called from any thread. Method declaration:

virtual bool decodeAndExecuteCommand(uint8_t* data, int size) = 0;

Parameter	Description
data	Pointer to input command.
size	Size of command. Must be 11 bytes for SET_PARAM or 7 bytes for COMMAND.

Returns: TRUE if command decoded (SET_PARAM or COMMAND) and executed (action command or set param command).

Data structures

Enum declaration:

enum class VFilterCommand
{
    /// Reset video filter algorithm.
    RESET = 1,
    /// Enable filter.
    ON,
    /// Disable filter.
    OFF
};

Table 2 - Action commands description.

Command	Description
RESET	Reset video filter algorithm.
ON	Enable video filter.
OFF	Disable video filter.

VFilterParam enum

Enum declaration:

enum class VFilterParam
{
	/// Filter mode: 0 - off (disabled), 1 - on (enabled). Depends on implementation.

	/// 0% to 100%. May have another meaning depends on implementation.
	LEVEL,
	/// Processing time in microseconds. Read only parameter.
	PROCESSING_TIME_MCSEC,
	/// Type of the filter. Depends on the implementation.
	TYPE,
	/// VFilter custom parameter. Custom parameters used when particular image 
	/// filter has specific unusual parameter.

VFilterParams class description

VFilterParams class declaration

The VFilterParams class is used to provide video filter parameters structure. Also VFilterParams provides possibility to write/read params from JSON files (JSON_READABLE macro) and provides methods to encode and decode params. VFilterParams interface class declared in VFilter.h file. Class declaration:

class VFilterParams
{
public:

    /// Filter mode: 0 - off, 1 - on. Depends on implementation.
    int mode{ 1 };
    /// Enhancement level for particular filter, as a percentage from 
    /// 0% to 100%. May have another meaning depends on implementation.
    float level{ 0 };
    /// Processing time in microseconds. Read only parameter.
    int processingTimeMcSec{ 0 };
    /// Type of the filter. Depends on the implementation.
    int type{ 0 };
    /// VFilter custom parameter. Custom parameters used when particular image 
    /// filter has specific unusual parameter.
    float custom1{ 0.0f };
    /// VFilter custom parameter. Custom parameters used when particular image 
    /// filter has specific unusual parameter.
    float custom2{ 0.0f };
    /// VFilter custom parameter. Custom parameters used when particular image 
    /// filter has specific unusual parameter.
    float custom3{ 0.0f };

    /// Macro from ConfigReader to make params readable / writable from JSON.
    JSON_READABLE(VFilterParams, mode, level, type, custom1, custom2, custom3)

    /// operator =
    VFilterParams& operator= (const VFilterParams& src);

    /// Encode (serialize) params.
    bool encode(uint8_t* data, int bufferSize, int& size,
                VFilterParamsMask* mask = nullptr);

    /// Decode (deserialize) params.
    bool decode(uint8_t* data, int dataSize);
};

Table 4 - VFilterParams class fields description which is related to VFilterParam enum description.

Field	type	Description
mode	int	Filter mode, usually 0 - off (disabled), 1 - on (enabled). Can have another meaning depends on implementation.
level	float	Enhancement level for particular filter, as a percentage in range from 0% to 100%. Can have another meaning depends on implementation. The video filter should keep this value in memory. After enable video filter this value should be implemented.
processingTimeMcSec	int	Processing time, microseconds. Read only parameter. Used to control performance of video filter.
type	int	Type of the filter. Depends on the implementation.
custom1	float	VFilter custom parameter. Custom parameters used when particular video filter has specific unusual parameter.
custom2	float	VFilter custom parameter. Custom parameters used when particular video filter has specific unusual parameter.
custom3	float	VFilter custom parameter. Custom parameters used when particular video filter has specific unusual parameter.

None: VFilterParams class fields listed in Table 4 have to reflect params set/get by methods setParam(...) and getParam(...).

Serialize VFilter params

VFilterParams class provides method encode(...) to serialize VFilter params. Serialization of VFilterParams is necessary in case when video filter parameters have to be sent via communication channels. Method provides options to exclude particular parameters from serialization. To do this method inserts binary mask (1 byte) where each bit represents particular parameter and decode(...) method recognizes it. Method declaration:

bool encode(uint8_t* data, int bufferSize, int& size, VFilterParamsMask* mask = nullptr);

Parameter	Value
data	Pointer to data buffer. Buffer size must be >= 32 bytes.
bufferSize	Data buffer size. Buffer size must be >= 32 bytes.
size	Size of encoded data.
mask	Parameters mask - pointer to VFilterParamsMask structure. VFilterParamsMask (declared in VFilter.h file) determines flags for each field (parameter) declared in VFilterParams class. If user wants to exclude any parameters from serialization, he can put a pointer to the mask. If the user wants to exclude a particular parameter from serialization, he should set the corresponding flag in the VFilterParamsMask structure.

Returns: TRUE if params encoded (serialized) or FALSE if not (buffer size < 32).

VFilterParamsMask structure declaration:

struct VFilterParamsMask
{
    bool mode{ true };
    bool level{ true };
    bool processingTimeMcSec{ true };
    bool type{ true };
    bool custom1{ true };
    bool custom2{ true };
    bool custom3{ true };
};

Example without parameters mask:

// Prepare parameters.
cr::video::VFilterParams params;
params.level = 80.0f;

// Encode (serialize) params.
int bufferSize = 128;
uint8_t buffer[128];
int size = 0;
params.encode(buffer, bufferSize, size);

Example with parameters mask:

// Prepare parameters.
cr::video::VFilterParams params;
params.level = 80.0;

// Prepare mask.
cr::video::VFilterParams mask;
// Exclude level.
mask.level = false;

// Encode (serialize) params.
int bufferSize = 128;
uint8_t buffer[128];
int size = 0;
params1.encode(buffer, bufferSize, size, &mask);

Deserialize VFilter params

VFilterParams class provides method decode(...) to deserialize params. Deserialization of VFilterParams is necessary in case when it is needed to receive params via communication channels. Method automatically recognizes which parameters were serialized by encode(...) method. Method declaration:

bool decode(uint8_t* data, int dataSize);

Parameter	Value
data	Pointer to data buffer with serialized params.
dataSize	Size of command data.

Returns: TRUE if params decoded (deserialized) or FALSE if not.

Example:

// Prepare parameters.
cr::video::VFilterParams params1;
params1.level = 80;

// Encode (serialize) params.
int bufferSize = 128;
uint8_t buffer[128];
int size = 0;
params1.encode(buffer, bufferSize, size);

// Decode (deserialize) params.
cr::video::VFilterParams params2;
params2.decode(buffer, size);

Read params from JSON file and write to JSON file

VFilter depends on open source ConfigReader library which provides method to read params from JSON file and to write params to JSON file. Example of writing and reading params to JSON file:

// Prepare random params.
cr::video::VFilterParams params1;
params1.mode = 1;
params1.level = 10.1f;
params1.processingTimeMcSec = 10;
params1.type = 2;
params1.custom1 = 22.3;
params1.custom2 = 23.4;
params1.custom3 = 24.5;

// Save to JSON.
cr::utils::ConfigReader configReader1;
if (!configReader1.set(params1, "Params"))
    std::cout << "Can't set params" << std::endl;
if (!configReader1.writeToFile("VFilterParams.json"))
    std::cout << "Can't write to file" << std::endl;

// Read params from file.
cr::utils::ConfigReader configReader2;
if (!configReader2.readFromFile("VFilterParams.json"))
    std::cout << "Can't read from file" << std::endl;
cr::video::VFilterParams params2;
if (!configReader2.get(params2, "Params"))
    std::cout << "Can't get params" << std::endl;

VFilterParams.json will look like:

{
    "Params": {
        "custom1": 22.3,
        "custom2": 23.4,
        "custom3": 24.5,
        "level": 10.1,
        "mode": 1,
        "type": 2
    }
}

Build and connect to your project

Typical commands to build VFilter in Linux:

cd VFilter
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

If you want connect VFilter to your CMake project as source code you can make follow. For example, if your repository has structure:

CMakeLists.txt
src
    CMakeList.txt
    yourLib.h
    yourLib.cpp

Copy VFilter repository folder to 3rdparty folder of your repository. New structure of your repository:

CMakeLists.txt
src
    CMakeList.txt
    yourLib.h
    yourLib.cpp
3rdparty
    VFilter

Create CMakeLists.txt file in 3rdparty folder. CMakeLists.txt should contain:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.13)

## INCLUDING SUBDIRECTORIES
## Adding subdirectories according to the 3rd-party configuration
################################################################################
if (${PARENT}_SUBMODULE_VFILTER)
    add_subdirectory(VFilter)
endif()

File 3rdparty/CMakeLists.txt adds folder VFilter to your project and excludes test application and example (VFilter class test application and example of custom VFilter class implementation) from compiling (by default example and test application excluded from compiling if VFilter included as sub-repository). Your repository new structure will be:

CMakeLists.txt
src
    CMakeList.txt
    yourLib.h
    yourLib.cpp
3rdparty
    CMakeLists.txt
    VFilter

Next you need include folder 3rdparty in main CMakeLists.txt file of your repository. Add string at the end of your main CMakeLists.txt:

add_subdirectory(3rdparty)

Next you have to include VFilter library in your src/CMakeLists.txt file:

target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} VFilter)

Done!

How to make custom implementation

The VFilter class provides only an interface, data structures, and methods for encoding and decoding commands and params. To create your own implementation of the video filter, VFilter repository has to be included in your project (see Build and connect to your project section). The catalogue example (see Library files section) includes an example of the design of the custom VFilter algorithm. All the methods of the VFilter interface class have to be included. Custom VFilter class declaration:

namespace cr
{
namespace video
{
/**
 * @brief Custom pan-tilt device controller class.
 */
class CustomVFilter : public cr::video::VFilter
{
public:

    /**
     * @brief Class constructor.
     */
    CustomVFilter();

    /**
     * @brief Class destructor.
     */
    ~CustomVFilter();

    /**
     * @brief Get the version of the PanTilt class.
     * @return A string representing the version: "Major.Minor.Patch"
     */
    static std::string getVersion();

    /**
     * @brief Initialize video filter. The particular filter should initialize
     * only supported parameters from VFilterParams class.
     * @param params Parameters class.
     * @return TRUE if the video filter is initialized or FALSE if not.
     */
    bool initVFilter(VFilterParams& params) override;

    /**

     * @param id The identifier of the library parameter.
     * @param value The value to set for the parameter.
     * @return TRUE if the parameter was successfully set, FALSE otherwise.
     */
    bool setParam(VFilterParam id, float value) override;

    /**
     * @brief Get the value of a specific library parameter.
     * @param id The identifier of the library parameter.
     * @return The value of the specified parameter.
     */
    float getParam(VFilterParam id) override;

    /**
     * @brief Get the structure containing all library parameters.
     * @param params Reference to a PanTiltParams structure.
     */
    void getParams(VFilterParams& params) override;

    /**
     * @brief Execute a CustomVFilter command.
     * @param id The identifier of the library command to be executed.
     * @return TRUE if the command was executed successfully, FALSE otherwise.
     */
    bool executeCommand(VFilterCommand id) override;

    /**
     * @brief Process frame.
     * @param frame Source video frame.
     * @return TRUE if video frame was processed or FALSE if not.
     */
    bool processFrame(cr::video::Frame& frame) override;
    
    /**
    * @brief Set filter mask. Filter omits image segments, where 
    * filter mask pixel values equal 0.
    * @param mask Filter binary mask.
    * @return TRUE if video filter mask was set or FALSE if not.
    */
    bool setMask(cr::video::Frame mask) override;

    /**
     * @brief Decode and execute command.
     * @param data Pointer to command data.
     * @param size Size of data.
     * @return 0 - command decoded, 1 - set param command decoded, -1 - error.
     */
    bool decodeAndExecuteCommand(uint8_t* data, int size) override;

private:

    /// Parameters structure (default params).
    cr::video::VFilterParams m_params;
    /// Mutex for parameters access.
    std::mutex m_paramsMutex;
    /// Mask for filter.
    cr::video::Frame m_mask;
