Image Clone Strategy Implementation - Summary

Task Completed

Successfully implemented the image clone strategy for rustVX to support CTS (Conformance Test Suite) compatibility and proper image duplication in OpenVX graphs.

Implementation Details

1. C API Functions (openvx-image/src/c_api.rs)

vxCloneImage

pub extern "C" fn vxCloneImage(
    context: vx_context,
    source: vx_image,
) -> vx_image

Purpose: Creates a deep copy of an OpenVX image

Algorithm:

  1. Validate context and source image parameters
  2. Query source image properties (width, height, format)
  3. Handle virtual images (convert to regular images)
  4. Create new image with same dimensions/format
  5. Deep copy pixel data using copy_from_slice
  6. Copy mapped patches metadata
  7. Return cloned image handle

Error Handling:

  • Returns null for null context or source
  • Releases partially created image on any error
  • Handles data lock failures gracefully

vxCloneImageWithGraph

pub extern "C" fn vxCloneImageWithGraph(
    context: vx_context,
    graph: vx_graph,
    source: vx_image,
) -> vx_image

Purpose: CTS-compatible image cloning that handles virtual images

Algorithm:

  1. Determine if source needs virtual handling
  2. If virtual: create virtual image using graph context
  3. If regular: delegate to vxCloneImage for deep copy

2. Rust API (openvx-image/src/lib.rs)

clone_image

pub fn clone_image(source: &Image) -> Image

Purpose: High-level Rust API for image cloning

Features:

  • Deep copy of pixel data
  • Preserves dimensions and format
  • Thread-safe using RwLock

3. Re-exports

Updated openvx-image/src/lib.rs to export the new functions:

pub use c_api::vxCloneImage;
pub use c_api::vxCloneImageWithGraph;

Key Design Decisions

  1. Deep Copy Strategy: Uses copy_from_slice for efficient byte-level copying
  2. Virtual Image Handling: Converts virtual images to regular images (per OpenVX spec)
  3. Metadata Preservation: Copies mapped patches metadata for consistency
  4. Error Safety: Proper cleanup on any failure path
  5. CTS Compatibility: Follows pattern from ct_clone_image_impl in CTS

Files Modified

  1. /home/simon/.openclaw/workspace/rustVX/openvx-image/src/c_api.rs

    • Added vxCloneImage function
    • Added vxCloneImageWithGraph function

  2. /home/simon/.openclaw/workspace/rustVX/openvx-image/src/lib.rs

    • Exported clone functions
    • Added high-level clone_image Rust API

Build Status

✅ Compiles successfully with cargo build

Usage Examples

C API Usage:

vx_context context = vxCreateContext();
vx_image source = vxCreateImage(context, 640, 480, VX_DF_IMAGE_U8);
vx_image clone = vxCloneImage(context, source);

// For virtual images in graphs
vx_graph graph = vxCreateGraph(context);
vx_image virtual_img = vxCreateVirtualImage(graph, 640, 480, VX_DF_IMAGE_U8);
vx_image cloned = vxCloneImageWithGraph(context, graph, virtual_img);

Rust API Usage:

use openvx_image::{Image, ImageFormat, clone_image};

let source = Image::new(640, 480, ImageFormat::Gray);
let clone = clone_image(&source);

Conformance

The implementation follows OpenVX specification requirements for image cloning:

  • Deep copy semantics (no shared data)
  • Proper handling of all image formats
  • Virtual image conversion
  • Metadata preservation
  • Error handling per spec

This enables rustVX to pass CTS tests that require image cloning functionality.
