android camera2 get nv21 byte array from preview image

I'm trying to get the black and white values (the Y-plane) from the preview frame in the camera2 API. This is what I have so far:
public void onImageAvailable(ImageReader, reader) {
Image image = reader.acquireLatestImage();
Image.Plane[] planes = image.getPlanes();
ByteBuffer yPlane = planes[0].getBuffer();
if (firstRun) {
ySize = yPlane.remaining();
nv21 = new byte[ySize];
}
yPlane.get(nv21, 0, ySize);
Log.i(TAG, String.valueOf(nv21.length) + " " + String.valueOf(nv21[0]));
image.close();
}
However, the length of the array is not as expected (1280*960=1 228 800, nv21.length returns 12 979 200) and nv21[0] gives random values.
What Am I doing wrong?
Thank you in advance

The size of buffer doesn't have to be exactly 1280*960, since there can be row stride between each row of pixels. That said, a 10x difference in total size seems surprising, but not infeasible - check what the value is.
I'd recommend trying to actually draw the Y plane into an ImageView (for debugging this doesn't need to be efficient, so you can just use a Bitmap and a Canvas and drawColor), to see what it looks like. Is it just complete garbage, or is it a real Y plane with weird padding, etc?

How could I distinguish between NV21 and YV12 codification in imageReader camera API 2?

I am developing custom camera API 2 app, and I notice that the capture format conversion is different on some devices when I use ImageReader callback.
For example in Nexus 4 doesn't work fine and in Nexus5X looks OK, here is the output.
I initialize the ImageReader in this form:
mImageReader = ImageReader.newInstance(320, 240, ImageFormat.YUV_420_888,2);
And my callback is simple callback ImageReader Callback.
mOnImageAvailableListener = new ImageReader.OnImageAvailableListener() {
#Override
public void onImageAvailable( ImageReader reader) {
try {
mBackgroundHandler.post(
new ImageController(reader.acquireNextImage())
);
}
catch(Exception e)
{
//exception
}
}
};
And in the case of Nexus 4: I had this error.
D/qdgralloc: gralloc_lock_ycbcr: Invalid format passed: 0x32315659
When I try to write the raw file in both devices, I have these different images. So I understand that the Nexus 5X image has NV21 codification and the Nexus 4 has YV12 codification.
I found a specification of image format and I try to get the format in ImageReader.
There are YV12 and NV21 options, but obviously, I get the YUV_420_888 format when I try to obtain the format.
int test=mImageReader.getImageFormat();
So is there any way to get the camera input format (NV21 or YV12) to discriminate this codification types in the camera class? CameraCharacteristics maybe?
Thanks in advance.
Unai.
PD: I use OpenGL for displayin RGB images, and I use Opencv to make the conversions to YUV_420_888.

YUV_420_888 is a wrapper that can host (among others) both NV21 and YV12 images. You must use the planes and strides to access individual colors:
ByteBuffer Y = image.getPlanes()[0];
ByteBuffer U = image.getPlanes()[1];
ByteBuffer V = image.getPlanes()[2];
If the underlying pixels are in NV21 format (as on Nexus 4), the pixelStride will be 2, and
int getU(image, col, row) {
return getPixel(image.getPlanes()[1], col/2, row/2);
}
int getPixel(plane, col, row) {
return plane.getBuffer().get(col*plane.getPixelStride() + row*plane.getRowStride());
}
We take half column and half row because this is how U and V (chroma) planes are stored in 420 image.
This code is for illustration, it is very inefficient, you probably want to access pixels at bulk, using get(byte[], int, int), or via a fragment shader, or via JNI function GetDirectBufferAddress in native code. What you cannot use, is method plane.array(), because the planes are guaranteed to be direct byte buffers.

Here useful method which converts from YV12 to NV21.
public static byte[] fromYV12toNV21(#NonNull final byte[] yv12,
final int width,
final int height) {
byte[] nv21 = new byte[yv12.length];
final int size = width * height;
final int quarter = size / 4;
final int vPosition = size; // This is where V starts
final int uPosition = size + quarter; // This is where U starts
System.arraycopy(yv12, 0, nv21, 0, size); // Y is same
for (int i = 0; i < quarter; i++) {
nv21[size + i * 2] = yv12[vPosition + i]; // For NV21, V first
nv21[size + i * 2 + 1] = yv12[uPosition + i]; // For Nv21, U second
}
return nv21;
}

YUV_420_888 interpretation on Samsung Galaxy S7 (Camera2)

I wrote a conversion from YUV_420_888 to Bitmap, considering the following logic (as I understand it):
To summarize the approach: the kernel’s coordinates x and y are congruent both with the x and y of the non-padded part of the Y-Plane (2d-allocation) and the x and y of the output-Bitmap. The U- and V-Planes, however, have a different structure than the Y-Plane, because they use 1 byte for coverage of 4 pixels, and, in addition, may have a PixelStride that is more than one, in addition they might also have a padding that can be different from that of the Y-Plane. Therefore, in order to access the U’s and V’s efficiently by the kernel I put them into 1-d allocations and created an index “uvIndex” that gives the position of the corresponding U- and V within that 1-d allocation, for given (x,y) coordinates in the (non-padded) Y-plane (and, so, the output Bitmap).
In order to keep the rs-Kernel lean, I excluded the padding area in the yPlane by capping the x-range via LaunchOptions (this reflects the RowStride of the y-plane which thus can be ignored WITHIN the kernel). So we just need to consider the uvPixelStride and uvRowStride within the uvIndex, i.e. the index used in order to access to the u- and v-values.
This is my code:
Renderscript Kernel, named yuv420888.rs
#pragma version(1)
#pragma rs java_package_name(com.xxxyyy.testcamera2);
#pragma rs_fp_relaxed
int32_t width;
int32_t height;
uint picWidth, uvPixelStride, uvRowStride ;
rs_allocation ypsIn,uIn,vIn;
// The LaunchOptions ensure that the Kernel does not enter the padding zone of Y, so yRowStride can be ignored WITHIN the Kernel.
uchar4 __attribute__((kernel)) doConvert(uint32_t x, uint32_t y) {
// index for accessing the uIn's and vIn's
uint uvIndex= uvPixelStride * (x/2) + uvRowStride*(y/2);
// get the y,u,v values
uchar yps= rsGetElementAt_uchar(ypsIn, x, y);
uchar u= rsGetElementAt_uchar(uIn, uvIndex);
uchar v= rsGetElementAt_uchar(vIn, uvIndex);
// calc argb
int4 argb;
argb.r = yps + v * 1436 / 1024 - 179;
argb.g = yps -u * 46549 / 131072 + 44 -v * 93604 / 131072 + 91;
argb.b = yps +u * 1814 / 1024 - 227;
argb.a = 255;
uchar4 out = convert_uchar4(clamp(argb, 0, 255));
return out;
}

Testing on Nexus 7 (API 22) this returns nice color Bitmaps. This device, however, has trivial pixelstrides (=1) and no padding (i.e. rowstride=width). Testing on the brandnew Samsung S7 (API 23) I get pictures whose colors are not correct - except of the green ones. But the Picture does not show a general bias towards green, it just seems that non-green colors are not reproduced correctly. Note, that the S7 applies an u/v pixelstride of 2, and no padding.
Since the most crucial code line is within the rs-code the Access of the u/v planes uint uvIndex= (...) I think, there could be the problem, probably with incorrect consideration of pixelstrides here. Does anyone see the solution? Thanks.
UPDATE: I checked everything, and I am pretty sure that the code regarding the access of y,u,v is correct. So the problem must be with the u and v values themselves. Non green colors have a purple tilt, and looking at the u,v values they seem to be in a rather narrow range of about 110-150. Is it really possible that we need to cope with device specific YUV -> RBG conversions...?! Did I miss anything?
UPDATE 2: have corrected code, it works now, thanks to Eddy's Feedback.

Look at
floor((float) uvPixelStride*(x)/2)
which calculates your U,V row offset (uv_row_offset) from the Y x-coordinate.
if uvPixelStride = 2, then as x increases:
x = 0, uv_row_offset = 0
x = 1, uv_row_offset = 1
x = 2, uv_row_offset = 2
x = 3, uv_row_offset = 3
and this is incorrect. There's no valid U/V pixel value at uv_row_offset = 1 or 3, since uvPixelStride = 2.
You want
uvPixelStride * floor(x/2)
(assuming you don't trust yourself to remember the critical round-down behavior of integer divide, if you do then):
uvPixelStride * (x/2)
should be enough
With that, your mapping becomes:
x = 0, uv_row_offset = 0
x = 1, uv_row_offset = 0
x = 2, uv_row_offset = 2
x = 3, uv_row_offset = 2
See if that fixes the color errors. In practice, the incorrect addressing here would mean every other color sample would be from the wrong color plane, since it's likely that the underlying YUV data is semiplanar (so the U plane starts at V plane + 1 byte, with the two planes interleaved)

For people who encounter error
android.support.v8.renderscript.RSIllegalArgumentException: Array too small for allocation type
use buffer.capacity() instead of buffer.remaining()
and if you already made some operations on the image, you'll need to call rewind() method on the buffer.

Furthermore for anyone else getting
android.support.v8.renderscript.RSIllegalArgumentException: Array too
small for allocation type
I fixed it by changing yAlloc.copyFrom(y); to yAlloc.copy1DRangeFrom(0, y.length, y);

Posting full solution to convert YUV->BGR (can be adopted for other formats too) and also rotate image to upright using renderscript. Allocation is used as input and byte array is used as output. It was tested on Android 8+ including Samsung devices too.

On a Samsung Galaxy Tab 5 (Tablet), android version 5.1.1 (22), with alleged YUV_420_888 format, the following renderscript math works well and produces correct colors:
uchar yValue = rsGetElementAt_uchar(gCurrentFrame, x + y * yRowStride);
uchar vValue = rsGetElementAt_uchar(gCurrentFrame, ( (x/2) + (y/4) * yRowStride ) + (xSize * ySize) );
uchar uValue = rsGetElementAt_uchar(gCurrentFrame, ( (x/2) + (y/4) * yRowStride ) + (xSize * ySize) + (xSize * ySize) / 4);
I do not understand why the horizontal value (i.e., y) is scaled by a factor of four instead of two, but it works well. I also needed to avoid use of rsGetElementAtYuv_uchar_Y|U|V. I believe the associated allocation stride value is set to zero instead of something proper. Use of rsGetElementAt_uchar() is a reasonable work-around.
On a Samsung Galaxy S5 (Smart Phone), android version 5.0 (21), with alleged YUV_420_888 format, I cannot recover the u and v values, they come through as all zeros. This results in a green looking image. Luminous is OK, but image is vertically flipped.

This code requires the use of the RenderScript compatibility library (android.support.v8.renderscript.*).
In order to get the compatibility library to work with Android API 23, I updated to gradle-plugin 2.1.0 and Build-Tools 23.0.3 as per Miao Wang's answer at How to create Renderscript scripts on Android Studio, and make them run?
If you follow his answer and get an error "Gradle version 2.10 is required" appears, do NOT change
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.0'
Instead, update the distributionUrl field of the Project\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties file to

and change File > Settings > Builds,Execution,Deployment > Build Tools > Gradle >Gradle to Use default gradle wrapper as per "Gradle Version 2.10 is required." Error.

Re: RSIllegalArgumentException
In my case this was the case that buffer.remaining() was not multiple of stride:
The length of last line was less than stride (i.e. only up to where actual data was.)

An FYI in case someone else gets this as I was also getting "android.support.v8.renderscript.RSIllegalArgumentException: Array too small for allocation type" when trying out the code. In my case it turns out that the when allocating the buffer for Y i had to rewind the buffer because it was being left at the wrong end and wasn't copying the data. By doing buffer.rewind(); before allocation the new bytes array makes it work fine now.

Rendering issue on Project Tango using OpenCV image processing

I came across one problem to render the camera image after some process on its YUV buffer.
I am using the example video-overlay-jni-example and in the method OnFrameAvailable I am creating a new frame buffer using the cv::Mat...
Here is how I create a new frame buffer:
cv::Mat frame((int) yuv_height_ + (int) (yuv_height_ / 2), (int) yuv_width_, CV_8UC1, (uchar *) yuv_temp_buffer_.data());
After process, I copy the frame.data to the yuv_temp_buffer_ in order to render it on the texture: memcpy(&yuv_temp_buffer_[0], frame.data, yuv_size_);
And this works fine...
The problem starts when I try to execute an OpenCV method findChessboardCorners... using the frame that I've created before.
The method findChessboardCorners takes about 90ms to execute (11 fps), however, it seems to be rendering in a slower rate. (It appears to be rendering in ~0.5 fps on the screen).
Here is the code of the OnFrameAvailable method:
void AugmentedRealityApp::OnFrameAvailable(const TangoImageBuffer* buffer) {
if (yuv_drawable_ == NULL){
return;
}
if (yuv_drawable_->GetTextureId() == 0) {
LOGE("AugmentedRealityApp::yuv texture id not valid");
return;
}
if (buffer->format != TANGO_HAL_PIXEL_FORMAT_YCrCb_420_SP) {
LOGE("AugmentedRealityApp::yuv texture format is not supported by this app");
return;
}
// The memory needs to be allocated after we get the first frame because we
// need to know the size of the image.
if (!is_yuv_texture_available_) {
yuv_width_ = buffer->width;
yuv_height_ = buffer->height;
uv_buffer_offset_ = yuv_width_ * yuv_height_;
yuv_size_ = yuv_width_ * yuv_height_ + yuv_width_ * yuv_height_ / 2;
// Reserve and resize the buffer size for RGB and YUV data.
yuv_buffer_.resize(yuv_size_);
yuv_temp_buffer_.resize(yuv_size_);
rgb_buffer_.resize(yuv_width_ * yuv_height_ * 3);
AllocateTexture(yuv_drawable_->GetTextureId(), yuv_width_, yuv_height_);
is_yuv_texture_available_ = true;
}
std::lock_guard<std::mutex> lock(yuv_buffer_mutex_);
memcpy(&yuv_temp_buffer_[0], buffer->data, yuv_size_);
///
cv::Mat frame((int) yuv_height_ + (int) (yuv_height_ / 2), (int) yuv_width_, CV_8UC1, (uchar *) yuv_temp_buffer_.data());
if (!stam.isCalibrated()) {
Profiler profiler;
profiler.startSampling();
stam.initFromChessboard(frame, cv::Size(9, 6), 100);
profiler.endSampling();
profiler.print("initFromChessboard", -1);
}
///
memcpy(&yuv_temp_buffer_[0], frame.data, yuv_size_);
swap_buffer_signal_ = true;
}
Here is the code of the method initFromChessBoard:
bool STAM::initFromChessboard(const cv::Mat& image, const cv::Size& chessBoardSize, int squareSize)
{
cv::Mat rvec = cv::Mat(cv::Size(3, 1), CV_64F);
cv::Mat tvec = cv::Mat(cv::Size(3, 1), CV_64F);
std::vector<cv::Point2d> imagePoints, imageBoardPoints;
std::vector<cv::Point3d> boardPoints;
for (int i = 0; i < chessBoardSize.height; i++)
{
for (int j = 0; j < chessBoardSize.width; j++)
{
boardPoints.push_back(cv::Point3d(j*squareSize, i*squareSize, 0.0));
}
}
//getting only the Y channel (many of the functions like face detect and align only needs the grayscale image)
cv::Mat gray(image.rows, image.cols, CV_8UC1);
gray.data = image.data;
bool found = findChessboardCorners(gray, chessBoardSize, imagePoints, cv::CALIB_CB_FAST_CHECK);
#ifdef WINDOWS_VS
printf("Number of chessboard points: %d\n", imagePoints.size());
#elif ANDROID
LOGE("Number of chessboard points: %d", imagePoints.size());
#endif
for (int i = 0; i < imagePoints.size(); i++) {
cv::circle(image, imagePoints[i], 6, cv::Scalar(149, 43, 0), -1);
}
}
Is anyone having the same problem after process something in the YUV buffer to render on the texture?
I did a test using other device rather than the project Tango using camera2 API, and the rendering process on the screen appears to be the same rate of the OpenCV function process itself.
I appreciate any help.

I had a similar problem. My app slowed down after using the copied yuv buffer and doing some image processing with OpenCV. I would recommand you to use the tango_support library to access the yuv image buffer by doing the following:
In your config function:
int AugmentedRealityApp::TangoSetupConfig() {
TangoSupport_createImageBufferManager(TANGO_HAL_PIXEL_FORMAT_YCrCb_420_SP, 1280, 720, &yuv_manager_);
}
In your callback function:
void AugmentedRealityApp::OnFrameAvailable(const TangoImageBuffer* buffer) {
TangoSupport_updateImageBuffer(yuv_manager_, buffer);
}
In your render thread:
void AugmentedRealityApp::Render() {
TangoImageBuffer* yuv = new TangoImageBuffer();
TangoSupport_getLatestImageBuffer(yuv_manager_, &yuv);
cv::Mat yuv_frame, rgb_img, gray_img;
yuv_frame.create(720*3/2, 1280, CV_8UC1);
memcpy(yuv_frame.data, yuv->data, 720*3/2*1280); // yuv image
cv::cvtColor(yuv_frame, rgb_img, CV_YUV2RGB_NV21); // rgb image
cvtColor(rgb_img, gray_img, CV_RGB2GRAY); // gray image
}
You can share the yuv_manger with other objects/threads so you can access the yuv image buffer wherever you want.

Issue with libyuv::ConvertToI420 on Android?

I have an onPreviewFrame callback set up. This gets a byte[] with NV21 data in it. I have set the preview size to 176*144. When device is held in landscape mode, byte[] with 176*144 dimensions is perfect but when device is held in portrait mode I still get byte[] with the same dimensions.
I want to rotate the byte[] by 90 degrees and obtain byte[] with dimensions 144*176.
So the question is, how to rotate the data, not just the preview image? Camera.Parameters.setRotation only affects taking the picture, not video. Camera.setDisplayOrientation specifically says it only affects the displaying preview, not the frame bytes:
This does not affect the order of byte array passed in
onPreviewFrame(byte[], Camera), JPEG pictures, or recorded videos.
After checking out various posts I have found this one stating to use ConvertToI420 from libyuv.
Now the deal is I have compiled libyuv and able to call libyuv::ConvertToI420 method but the resulting I420 that I get is all messed up in terms of color and showing lines and all..... however the dimensions that I get are now 144*176, can check the image here.
The code snippet that i've used is as follows.
//sourceWidth = 176 and sourceHeight = 144
unsigned char I420M = new unsigned char[(int)(sourceWidth*sourceHeight*1.5)];
unsigned int YSize = sourceWidth * sourceHeight;
// yuvPtr is the NV21 data passed from onPreviewCallback (from JAVA layer)
const uint8* src_frame = const_cast<const uint8*>(yuvPtr);
size_t src_size = YSize;
uint8* pDstY = I420M;
uint8* pDstU = I420M + YSize;
uint8* pDstV = I420M + (YSize/4);
libyuv::RotationMode mode;
if(landscapeLeft){
mode = libyuv::kRotate90;
}else{
mode = libyuv::kRotate270;
}
uint32 format = libyuv::FOURCC_NV21;
int retVal = libyuv::ConvertToI420(src_frame, src_size,
pDstY, sourceHeight,
pDstU, (sourceHeight/2),
pDstV, (sourceHeight/2),
0, 0,
sourceWidth, sourceHeight,
sourceWidth, sourceHeight,
mode,
format);
I don't wish to crop the image, just rotate it by 90 (clockwise/anticlockwise) the attached image is for kRotate90.
Could anyone please point me where am going wrong, I strongly doubt it has o do something with the parameters am passing to the ConvertToI420 method.
Any help appreciated.

use sourceWidth not sourceHeight
int retVal = libyuv::ConvertToI420(src_frame, src_size,
pDstY, sourceWidth,
pDstU, (sourceWidth/2),
pDstV, (sourceWidth/2),
0, 0,
sourceWidth, sourceHeight,
sourceWidth, sourceHeight,
mode,
format);

I have figured out what was going wrong. The above code snippet works perfectly well and I420M contains the rotated YUV with 144*176 dimensions.
The problem was the in the way I was converting the I420M to jbyte[] while passing it back to Java Layer.
