Detailed Description

Defines the Parameter Object interface.

An abstract input, output, or bidirectional data object passed to a computer vision function. This object contains the signature of that parameter's usage from the kernel description. This information includes:

Signature Index - The numbered index of the parameter in the signature.
Object Type - e.g., VX_TYPE_IMAGE or VX_TYPE_ARRAY or some other object type from vx_type_e.
Usage Model - e.g., VX_INPUT, VX_OUTPUT, or VX_BIDIRECTIONAL.
Presence State - e.g., VX_PARAMETER_STATE_REQUIRED or VX_PARAMETER_STATE_OPTIONAL.

Typedef Documentation

typedef struct _vx_parameter* vx_parameter

An opaque reference to a single parameter.

Enumeration Type Documentation

enum vx_direction_e

An indication of how a kernel will treat the given parameter.

Enumerator
VX_INPUT	The parameter is an input only.
VX_OUTPUT	The parameter is an output only.
VX_BIDIRECTIONAL	The parameter is both an input and output.

Definition at line 558 of file vx_types.h.

enum vx_parameter_attribute_e

The parameter attributes list.

Enumerator
VX_PARAMETER_ATTRIBUTE_INDEX	Queries a parameter for its index value on the kernel with which it is associated. Use a `vx_uint32` parameter.
VX_PARAMETER_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTION	Queries a parameter for its direction value on the kernel with which it is associated. Use a `vx_enum` parameter.
VX_PARAMETER_ATTRIBUTE_TYPE	Queries a parameter for its type, vx_type_e is returned. The size of the parameter is implied for plain data objects. For opaque data objects like images and arrays a query to their attributes has to be called to determine the size.
VX_PARAMETER_ATTRIBUTE_STATE	Queries a parameter for its state. A value in `vx_parameter_state_e` is returned. Use a `vx_enum` parameter.
VX_PARAMETER_ATTRIBUTE_REF	Use to extract the reference contained in the parameter. Use a `vx_reference` parameter.

Definition at line 784 of file vx_types.h.

enum vx_parameter_state_e

The parameter state type.

Enumerator
VX_PARAMETER_STATE_REQUIRED	Default. The parameter must be supplied. If not set, during Verify, an error is returned.
VX_PARAMETER_STATE_OPTIONAL	The parameter may be unspecified. The kernel takes care not to deference optional parameters until it is certain they are valid.

Function Documentation

vx_parameter VX_API_CALL vxGetKernelParameterByIndex	(	vx_kernel	kernel,
		vx_uint32	index
	)

Retrieves a vx_parameter from a vx_kernel.

Parameters

[in]	kernel	The reference to the kernel.
[in]	index	The index of the parameter.

Returns: A vx_parameter.

Return values

0	Either the kernel or index is invalid.
*	The parameter reference.

vx_parameter VX_API_CALL vxGetParameterByIndex	(	vx_node	node,
		vx_uint32	index
	)

vx_status VX_API_CALL vxReleaseParameter ( vx_parameter * param )

Releases a reference to a parameter object. The object may not be garbage collected until its total reference count is zero.

Parameters

Postcondition: After returning from this function the reference is zeroed.

Returns: A vx_status_e enumeration.

Return values

VX_SUCCESS	No errors.
VX_ERROR_INVALID_REFERENCE	If param is not a `vx_parameter`.

vx_status VX_API_CALL vxSetParameterByIndex	(	vx_node	node,
		vx_uint32	index,

		vx_reference	value
	)

Associates a parameter reference and a data reference with a kernel on a node.

Parameters

[in]	parameter	The reference to the kernel parameter.
[in]	value	The value to associate with the kernel parameter.

Returns: A vx_status_e enumeration.

See also: vxGetParameterByIndex

vx_status VX_API_CALL vxQueryParameter	(	vx_parameter	param,
		vx_enum	attribute,
		void *	ptr,
		vx_size	size
	)

Allows the client to query a parameter to determine its meta-information.

Parameters

[in]	param	The reference to the parameter.
[in]	attribute	The attribute to query. Use a `vx_parameter_attribute_e`.
[out]	ptr	The location at which to store the resulting value.
[in]	size	The size in bytes of the container to which ptr points.

Returns: A vx_status_e enumeration.
