Remarks

CoreImage provides a framework for processing still images and applying a set of operations on them to either produce new images or perform image analysis (like performing face detection and photography auto-enhance). The operations are hardware accelerated and provide better performance than most hand written implementations.

CoreImage can apply either one filter to an image or you can use the built-in chaining support to apply a series of filters at once to an image. For example, you could apply a Sepia Filter, followed by a Hue adjustment filter, followed by a contrast filter. The idea behind the chaining support is to avoid intermediate copies and intermediate buffers during image processing. Additionally, some of these filtering operations can be performed entirely on the GPU in a single pass, without having to copy data back and forth from the GPU to the main memory.

The CoreImage runtime sits below the N:CoreGraphics, CoreVideo and N:ImageIO stacks and provides services to all of them. Depending on the filter operations and the hardware platform, CoreImage will execute the filters in the CPU or the GPU.

To use CoreImage on iOS, you follow these steps:

  • Create a CIImage object. You can create these from multiple sources: CoreGraphics images, bitmap data, images on disk or CoreVideo image buffers. CIImage objects are immutable and represent recipes, that is, they will be computed on demand.

    :

  • Create and configure a CIFilter object. This object combines image inputs or numeric input parameters to configure the effects of the filter. The configuration is done by setting various properties using the object indexer to any of the values documented in the

    :

  • Create a CIContext object to track the processing pipeline. This is the object trough which CoreImage draws and it can be CPU or GPU bound.

    :

  • Render the filter output into a target image using one of the CIContext methods. :
// This sample turns the image into a sepia image

// Load the image using UIImage, it is convenient
var uiimage = UIImage.FromFile ("sample.jpg");

// Create the CIImage, using the UIImage's CGImage as a reference
var image = new CIImage (uiimage.CGImage);

// Create the filter
var sepia = new CISepiaTone () {
	Image = image,
	Intensity = .8f
};

// Generate the recipe.   It is important to note that at this point
// the resulting CIImage merely contains the recipe on how to create
// the image, this is important, because you can use this result as
// the input to another filter to chain filters together and only 
// at the last minute, when the CIContext rendering APIs are used,
// does the actual pipeline execute.   This allows for a series of
// operations to all be performed in one step without intermediate
// buffer copies.
CIImage output = sepia.OutputImage;

// To render the results, we need to create a context, and then
// use one of the context rendering APIs, in this case, we render the
// result into a CoreGraphics image, which is merely a useful representation
//
var context = CIContext.FromOptions (null);

var cgimage = context.CreateCGImage (output, output.Extent);

// The above cgimage can be added to a screen view, for example, this
// would add it to a UIImageView on the screen:
myImageView.Image = UIImage.FromImage (cgimage);

Face detection is done with the CIDetector class by calling the M:CoreImage.CIDetector.CreateFaceDetector(CoreImage.CIContext,bool) method which returns an array of CIFeature objects with any detected face features found.

Auto-adjustments are implemented by calling the GetAutoAdjustmentFilters() method. This method returns a list of suggested CIFilter which you in turn would apply to your image and render to a context.

To chain filters, all you have to do is connect the OutputImage property from a filter to the Image property of another filter. This is a modified version of the previous example showing how to chain two filters together:

var uiimage = UIImage.FromFile ("sample.jpg");
var image = new CIImage (uiimage.CGImage);

var sepia = new CISepiaTone () {
	Image = image,
	Intensity = .8f
};

// Chain the Sepia filter to a Color inversion filter, this is done
// by assigning the CIColorInvert.Input to the sepia.OutputImage
var invert = new CIColorInvert () {
	Image = sepia.OutputImage;
}

CIImage output = invert.OutputImage;
var context = CIContext.FromOptions (null);
var cgimage = context.CreateCGImage (output, output.Extent);

myImageView.Image = UIImage.FromImage (cgimage);
