Can I use IPL in windows' kernel mode?

[hongcell]

I'm doing some work in driver development for windows, since some
function, whice work well in windows applicaion, can't work in driver
under kernel mode. I'm not sure the IPL/OpenCV can work in kernel mode, can anyone tell me? thanks in advance.

Hi,

As I remember, IPL library (static version)was be able to work in kernel mode, because there were no Windows user mode API used inside. We had special sample which demonstartes use of SPL library in kernel mode (SPL is similar to IPL the only difference it works with 1D signals).

But, did you noticed, that we'd stopped development of these old performance libraries, and we are providing now the new set of libraries, called Intel Integrated Performance Primitives? There were number of reasons for that decision and in particularly, experience we got with development of these more-less high level libraries said that we have to provide low-level API because of flexibility/usability/performance. You are able to build on top of IPP libraries any middle-level library, such as for example, OpenCV. And you are able to build such library in the way to cover your particular requirements (like possibility to work in kernel mode).
