Image Processing on GPU- sucessive shaders for filters - FBO

Question

Hi all,

I'm currently trying to implement in OpenGL image processing algorithms.

I would like to successively use several shaders in order to perform several filters (Sobel Gaussian,...). I understood that to do thius I had to render to texture thanks to a FBO. I read a lot of things about that, and wrote a code. But I'm not getting the result I expected.

For the moment, I'm just trying to use two shaders. So, I have an original image which is the input of my first shader. Then, I want to render the output of the shader to a texture which will then be the input of my second shader (pingpong technique). And finally, I want to display the output of the second shader.

But as result, I'm getting the original image.

My code is the following:

/******************** Shaders Function *******************************/
void setupShaders(char *vert, char *frag, GLuint p) {
GLuint v, f;
char *vs = NULL,*fs = NULL; 
v = glCreateShader(GL_VERTEX_SHADER);
f = glCreateShader(GL_FRAGMENT_SHADER);
vs = textFileRead(vert); 
fs = textFileRead(frag);
const char * ff = fs;
const char * vv = vs;
glShaderSource(v, 1, &vv, NULL);
glShaderSource(f, 1, &ff, NULL);
free(vs);free(fs);
glCompileShader(v);
glCompileShader(f);
p = glCreateProgram();
glAttachShader(p,f);
glAttachShader(p,v);
glLinkProgram(p);
glUseProgram(p);
}

Does someone have an idea of what is wrong??? I really need some help!

Thanks

hi zenna

i'm openframeworks user and i'm trying to achieve something really the same as you . a simple ping-pong shader chaining inside an fbo. did you solved this problem ? could you point me out a solution ?

could you write an email at eloi {at} telenoika [dot] net please ... i don't know how to make a PM to your post ...

thanks a lot !
