yuv to rgb in OpenGL ES in iMX6

[RagFox]

I have a simple video player android application to showcase the video codec. I need hardware acceleration (using the GPU) for YUV to RGB conversion. As i searched the best way is to use OpenGL ES. Can anyone guide me where i can start with. I mean any example code specific to iMX6 using andorid APIs. I tried integrating some code in the GPU demo but that is not working as i could not find alternative to find  fbGetDisplayByIndex and fbCreateWindow. Please help

Hi,

Could you explain your use case to me? Are you doing some kind of decoding? Do you want to use a video as a texture in openGL ES?

Hi Michel,

I am demoing our video decoder's performance on iMX6 board. But the YUV to RGB conversion is reducing my FPS as it is done by CPU. In order to transfer the load of YUV to RGB conversion to GPU one can load the image into a texture, load a fragment shader performing the color conversion and draw using vertex shaders. I am looking for a sample code in iMX android to do this. I got the functions. But i don't know how to display the OpenglES frame.

Hi,

Our team in china may have sample code for that. I'll get back to you when they return from vacations next week.

Hi Michel,

Could you please let me know the availability of the sample code.

Hi,

Here is a 3D app that does YUV to RGB conversion in a shader.

Our R&D team recommends doing the YUV to RGB using the IPU CSC if you have s single layer overlay since it's done on the fly.

If you have complicated overlays go with the GPU.

Thank you Michel

Hi Michel,

Thank you for the reply. Waiting for the code. Meanwhile we are trying to integrate into VLC android app which has this feature.

Thanks,
