unsigned short

I use IPP for image processing, and in the most cases pixels are unsigned short (16bits).

However, several functions that I need are not implemented for unsigned short , but implemented for signed short. I mean, for example, thresholding and filteringfunctions.

Will these functionsbe implemented for unsigned shortin futureversions of IPP or thereare some CPU-related problems with unsigned shorts that make it impossible to implement functions for unsigned shorts?

Hello,

yes we extend support for Ipp16u data types within each IPP release. This takes some time, as you know, there are several thousands functions in IPP, so usually we choose most popular functions. Please submit your feature request to Intel Premier Support it will be considered at the next version planning stage.

Regards,
Vladimir
