Need help on ippiCrossCorrSame_NormLevel

Dear all,

I experienced some very strange behavior when using the ippiCrossCorrSame_NormLevel() function on 4-channel image. It seems to fail to compute the correlation coefficients for the B-channel. The following is the code:

#define WIDTH 384
#define HEIGHT 288

#define TEMPLATE_WIDTH 32
#define TEMPLATE_HEIGHT 32

#define PATTERN_LEFT ((WIDTH - TEMPLATE_WIDTH) / 2)
#define PATTERN_TOP ((HEIGHT - TEMPLATE_HEIGHT) / 2)
#define PATTERN_WIDTH 32
#define PATTERN_HEIGHT 32
#define PATTERN_X (PATTERN_LEFT + PATTERN_WIDTH / 2)
#define PATTERN_Y (PATTERN_TOP + PATTERN_HEIGHT / 2)

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
int WidthStep;
IppiSize Size = {WIDTH, HEIGHT};
Ipp8u *pFrame = ippiMalloc_8u_AC4(WIDTH, HEIGHT, &WidthStep);
Ipp8u Black[3] = {0};

ippiSet_8u_AC4R(Black, pFrame, WidthStep, Size);

int TemplateWidthStep;
IppiSize TemplateSize = {TEMPLATE_WIDTH, TEMPLATE_HEIGHT};
Ipp8u *pTemplate = ippiMalloc_8u_AC4(TEMPLATE_WIDTH, TEMPLATE_HEIGHT, &TemplateWidthStep);

// generate a random pattern and assign it to the template
int i, j, k;
for (j = 0; j < TEMPLATE_HEIGHT; ++j)
{
for (i = 0; i < TEMPLATE_WIDTH; ++i)
{
for (k = 0; k < 4; ++k)
{
if (k < 3)
pTemplate[j * TemplateWidthStep + i * 4 + k] = rand() % 256;
else
pTemplate[j * TemplateWidthStep + i * 4] = 0;
}
}
}

// copy the random pattern to the middle of the image
ippiCopy_8u_AC4R(pTemplate, TemplateWidthStep, pFrame + PATTERN_TOP * WidthStep + PATTERN_LEFT * 4, WidthStep, TemplateSize);

int CorrWidthStep;
Ipp32f *pCorr = ippiMalloc_32f_AC4(WIDTH, HEIGHT, &CorrWidthStep);

IppiSize TplSize = {PATTERN_WIDTH, PATTERN_HEIGHT};
IppStatus Status = ippiCrossCorrSame_NormLevel_8u32f_AC4R(pFrame, WidthStep, Size,
pTemplate, TemplateWidthStep, TplSize,
pCorr, CorrWidthStep);

Ipp32f MaxScore_C3[3];
int Index_X[3], Index_Y[3];
ippiMaxIndx_32f_AC4R(pCorr, CorrWidthStep, Size, MaxScore_C3, Index_X, Index_Y);
double MaxScore = .0;
for (int c = 0; c < 3; ++c)
MaxScore += MaxScore_C3;
MaxScore /= 3.0;

char Temp[1024];
sprintf(Temp, "MaxScore = %.4lf at B: (%d,%d), G: (%d,%d), R: (%d,%d)", MaxScore,
Index_X[0], Index_Y[0], Index_X[1], Index_Y[1], Index_X[2], Index_Y[2]);
cout << Temp << endl;

// print the correlation coefficients at the center pixel
for (k = 0; k < 4; ++k)
cout << "k = " << k << ": " << pCorr[PATTERN_Y * (CorrWidthStep / 4) + PAT TERN_X * 4 + k] << endl;

ippiFree(pFrame);
ippiFree(pTemplate);
ippiFree(pCorr);

return 0;
}

And the result output:

MaxScore = 0.6667 at B: (0,0), G: (192,144), R: (192,144)
k = 0: 0 // correlation coefficient for B-channel (why zero?)
k = 1: 1 // correlation coefficient for G-channel
k = 2: 1 // correlation coefficient for R-channel
k = 3: 0 // alpha channel not used

I wonder if I have missed something or what.

Regards,

Milan

Hello Milan,

Our records show that there was a bug like this in previous IPP version. Did you use the latest IPP version, v5.1?

Regards,
Vladimir

Hello vdudnik,

You're right. We are still using IPP 5.0. Thanks for the confirmation of the bug.

Best regards,

Milan.
