IPP Convolution

KIM__ILTAEK — Thu, 09 Apr 2020 09:00:11 GMT

I am testing the convolution using IPP.

I also tested using MKL, but it was not as fast as I thought. However, when implemented simply with IPP, incorrect results were output.

I would like the result of the link below, but please review what's wrong.

Hi KIM, ILTAEK.

The IPP library uses a so-named "step" between lines because the processed region can be part of big image. I am attaching changes how to work with steps to get expected result.

 #include "ipp.h"
 #include <stdio.h>
void main()
{
    const int out_width = 5;
    const int out_height = 9;

    IppStatus status = ippStsNoErr;
    Ipp16s* pSrc1 = NULL, *pSrc2 = NULL, *pDst = NULL;			/* Pointers to source/destination images */
    int srcStep1 = 0, srcStep2 = 0, dstStep = 0;				/* Steps, in bytes, through the source/destination images */
    IppiSize dstSize = { out_width, out_height };				/* Size of destination ROI in pixels */
    IppiSize src1Size = { 3, 5 };								/* Size of destination ROI in pixels */
    IppiSize src2Size = { 3, 5 };								/* Size of destination ROI in pixels */
    int divisor = 1;											/* The integer value by which the computed result is divided */
    Ipp8u *pBuffer = NULL;										/* Pointer to the work buffer */
    int iTmpBufSize = 0;										/* Common work buffer size */
    int numChannels = 1;
    IppEnum funCfgFull = (IppEnum)(ippAlgAuto | ippiROIFull | ippiNormNone);

    pSrc2 = ippiMalloc_16s_C1(src2Size.width, src2Size.height, &srcStep2);
    pSrc1 = ippiMalloc_16s_C1(src1Size.width, src1Size.height, &srcStep1);
    pDst = ippiMalloc_16s_C1(dstSize.width, dstSize.height, &dstStep);
    Ipp16s img[5][3] = { {1, 1, 1},
                         {1, 0, 0},
                         {1, 1, 1},
                         {0, 0, 1},
                         {1, 1, 1} };
 do {
     status = ippiConvGetBufferSize(src1Size, src2Size, ipp16s, numChannels, funCfgFull, &iTmpBufSize);
     if (ippStsNoErr != status)
         break;

     pBuffer = ippsMalloc_8u(iTmpBufSize);
     int w, h;
     for (h = 0; h < 5; h++) {
         for (w = 0; w < 3; w++) {
             pSrc1[h*(srcStep1 / 2) + w] = img;
             pSrc2[h*(srcStep2/2)+w]     = img;
         }
     }

     status = ippiConv_16s_C1R(pSrc1, srcStep1, src1Size, pSrc2, srcStep2, src2Size, pDst, dstStep, divisor, funCfgFull, pBuffer);
     if (ippStsNoErr != status)
         break;

     for (int j = 0; j < out_height; j++) {
         for (int i = 0; i < out_width; i++) {
             printf("%d ",  pDst[i + j * (dstStep/2)]);
         }
         printf("\n");
     }
 } while (false);

 ippsFree(pBuffer);
 ippiFree(pSrc1);
 ippiFree(pSrc2);
 ippiFree(pDst);
 }

Thanks.

Kim,

please keep us informed of the performance results you will obtain.

Hi, Andrey Bakshaev

Thank your shared information. Your advice has been a great help.

Let me ask you one more question.
Actually I want to use ippiROISame option. But when ippiROISame is used ippiConvGetBufferSize is returning an error. If I change the code below from the code you guided above, it becomes a problem. Is there a solution?

	//const int out_width = 5;
	//const int out_height = 9;
	const int out_width = 3;
	const int out_height = 5;

	//IppEnum funCfgFull = (IppEnum)(ippAlgAuto | ippiROIFull | ippiNormNone);
	IppEnum funCfgFull = (IppEnum)(ippAlgAuto | ippiROISame | ippiNormNone);
