I am trying to filter the stream coming from the camera hardware by running

  • 0

I am trying to filter the stream coming from the camera hardware by running it through an openGL filter, then displaying it in a GLSurfaceView. When openGL goes to render the frame, the LogCat repeatedly spits out an error:

[unnamed-3314-0] updateTexImage: clearing GL error: 0x502

0x502 is a generic openGL error, and doesn’t really help me track down the problem. This is a sequence of how the code works (or atleast should be working as seen in my head), and I’ve copied my code below that. I am hoping that somebody else can see what my problem is.

  1. Create new MyGLSurfaceView. This internally creates the new MyGL20Renderer object as well. This MyGLSurfaceView is set as the content view.
  2. Once the MyGLSurfaceView is done inflating/initializing, this completion event triggers the renderer to create a DirectVideo draw object, which compiles/links the shaders defined and adds them to an openGL program. It then creates a new openGL texture object, and then calls back to the MainActivity with the texture object ID.
  3. When the MainActivity method is invoked from the renderer, it creates a new SurfaceTexture object using the openGL texture object passed. It then sets itself as the surface’s onFrameListener. It then creates/opens the camera object, sets the created SurfaceTexture as the video stream’s target, and starts the camera feed.
  4. When a frame is available from the feed, the onFrameAvailable sends a render request to the renderer. This is picked up on the openGL thread, which calls the SurfaceTexture’s updateTexImage(), which loads the frame memory into the openGL texture. It then calls the DirectVideo’s draw object, and the openGL program sequence is run. If I comment out this .draw() line, the mentioned error above disappears, so it seems likely that the problem lies somewhere inside here, but I am not ruling it out being caused by an improperly linked/created texture.

MainActivity.java

public class MainActivity extends Activity implements SurfaceTexture.OnFrameAvailableListener

    private Camera mCamera;
    private MyGLSurfaceView glSurfaceView;

        setContentView(glSurfaceView);

    {
        surface = new SurfaceTexture(texture);
        surface.setOnFrameAvailableListener(this);
        renderer.setSurface(surface);

        mCamera = Camera.open();

        try
        {
            mCamera.setPreviewTexture(surface);

    mDirectVideo = new DirectVideo(texture);
    texture = createTexture();
    

    should be

    texture = createTexture();
    mDirectVideo = new DirectVideo(texture);
    

    Shader

    private final String vertexShaderCode =
            "attribute vec4 position;" +
            "attribute vec2 inputTextureCoordinate;" +
            "varying vec2 textureCoordinate;" +
            "void main()" +
            "{"+
                "gl_Position = position;"+
                "textureCoordinate = inputTextureCoordinate;" +
            "}";
    
        private final String fragmentShaderCode =
            "#extension GL_OES_EGL_image_external : require\n"+
            "precision mediump float;" +
            "varying vec2 textureCoordinate;                            \n" +
            "uniform samplerExternalOES s_texture;               \n" +
            "void main() {" +
            "  gl_FragColor = texture2D( s_texture, textureCoordinate );\n" +
            "}";
    

    mColorHandle = GLES20.glGetUniformLocation(mProgram, "vColor");

    should be

    mColorHandle = GLES20.glGetAttribLocation(mProgram, "s_texture");

    remove initialization stuff from DirectVideo draw.glVertexAttribPointer etc. Put it in some init function.

    public void draw()
    {
        GLES20.glBindTexture(GLES11Ext.GL_TEXTURE_EXTERNAL_OES, texture);
        GLES20.glDrawElements(GLES20.GL_TRIANGLES, drawOrder.length,
                GLES20.GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT, drawListBuffer);
    }
