struct dwImageStreamerCrossProcessModeParams

Data Fields
dwImageStreamerCrossProcessMode	mode	Operation mode of the cross-process image streamer.
const char *	parameters	Array to additional parameters provided to cross-process image streamer creation. In general, this array has a form of key/value pairs separated by commas, i.e., streamName=nvscistream_0 where nvscistream_0 represents nvscistream endpoint name corresponding to producer or consumer endpoint as per nvsciipc specifications or for deprecated EGL, i.e. mode=socket,file=/tmp/file.socket

Function Documentation

◆ dwImageStreamer_consumerReceive()

DW_API_PUBLIC dwStatus dwImageStreamer_consumerReceive	(	dwImageHandle_t *	image,
		dwTime_t const	timeoutUs,
		dwImageStreamerHandle_t const	streamer
	)

Receive a pointer to a dwImageHandle_t from the streamer, acting as a consumer.

Can wait until timeout before failing.

Parameters

[out]	image	A pointer to a dwImageHandle_t sent by the producer, not null if successfully converted.
[in]	timeoutUs	Timeout in milliseconds before interrupting the waiting for producer.
[in]	streamer	A handle to the image streamer.

Returns: DW_INVALID_ARGUMENT if the given image handle is NULL
DW_INVALID_HANDLE if the given streamer handle (consumer) is invalid, i.e. null or of wrong type
DW_TIME_OUT if times out
or DW_SUCCESS otherwise.

◆ dwImageStreamer_consumerReturn()

DW_API_PUBLIC dwStatus dwImageStreamer_consumerReturn	(	dwImageHandle_t *	image,
		dwImageStreamerHandle_t const	streamer
	)

Return the received image back to the producer.

Ownership is given back and image goes back to null

Parameters

[in]	image	A pointer to the dwImageHandle_t to return to the producer.
[in]	streamer	A handle to the image streamer.

Returns: DW_INVALID_HANDLE if the given streamer handle (consumer) is invalid, i.e. null or of wrong type
DW_INTERNAL_ERROR if the image has been received yet or an underlying error depending on the producer/consumer combination has occurred
or DW_SUCCESS otherwise.

◆ dwImageStreamer_getCUDAStream()

DW_API_PUBLIC dwStatus dwImageStreamer_getCUDAStream	(	cudaStream_t *	stream,
		dwImageStreamerHandle_t	streamer
	)

Get CUDA stream used by the image streamer.

Parameters

[out]	stream	CUDA stream used by the streamer
[in]	streamer	A handle to the image streamer.

Returns: DW_INVALID_HANDLE if the given context handle is invalid,i.e null or of wrong type
DW_NOT_SUPPORTED if the streamer does not work with CUDA images,
or DW_SUCCESS otherwise.

◆ dwImageStreamer_getOutputProperties()

DW_API_PUBLIC dwStatus dwImageStreamer_getOutputProperties	(	dwImageProperties *	props,
		dwImageStreamerHandle_t const	streamer
	)

Get image properties of the image received from the streamer.

Parameters

[out]	props	Properties of the resulting images
[in]	streamer	A handle to the image streamer.

Returns: DW_INVALID_HANDLE if the given context handle is invalid,i.e null or of wrong type
DW_SUCCESS if successful.

Note: An image streamer does not modify the pixel format or pixel type, however, meta information as well as sizes might differ. For example an image containing embedded lines, will be most probably unfolded, i.e. the datalines will become part of the image in the new domain.

◆ dwImageStreamer_initialize()

DW_API_PUBLIC dwStatus dwImageStreamer_initialize	(	dwImageStreamerHandle_t *	streamer,
		const dwImageProperties *	from,
		dwImageType	to,
		dwContextHandle_t	ctx
	)

Creates and initializes the image streamer capable of moving images between different API types.

For example an image can be moved from NvMedia API into GL textured type or from CPU memory to CUDA.

In general an image streamer does not perform any modifications on the format of the stored pixel data. However, in certain cases when going between APIs some meta information might be lost or transformed. Especially if an image contains embedded data lines, in some cases the embedded information is lost, while in others it became part of the image. To find all supported src/dst pairs as well as supported formats refer to the user guide. After successful streamer creation 'dwImageStreamer_getOutputProperties()' will return the expected properties of resulting images.

Parameters

[out]	streamer	A handle to the image streamer (if successfully initialized.)
[in]	from	The properties of the source image for streaming.
[in]	to	The type of the destination image.
[in]	ctx	The DriveWorks context.

Returns: DW_SUCCESS if the translator was created,
DW_INVALID_ARGUMENT if the given image types are invalid or the streamer pointer is null,
DW_INVALID_HANDLE if the given context handle is invalid,i.e null or of wrong type
DW_NOT_IMPLEMENTED if the desired streamer between given types is not implemented,
DW_NOT_AVAILABLE if the desired streamer between given two types is currently not available due to missing resources or non-initialized APIs,
or DW_NOT_SUPPORTED if the desired streamer cannot work with given pixel format or type.

		const dwImageProperties *	from,
		dwImageType	to,

		dwContextHandle_t	ctx
	)

Creates and initializes the image streamer capable of moving images between different API types across processes using NvSciStream.
