OpenGL SL - Mosaic effect

Mosaic effect is similar to lowering the resolution of an image. Let's see example image.


OpenGL GLSL mosaic effect


And full source code likes below.


void mainImage( out vec4 fragColor, in vec2 fragCoord ){
    // Normalized pixel coordinates (from 0 to 1)
    vec2 uv = fragCoord/iResolution.xy;
    if (uv.x > 0.7 && uv.y < 0.4){
        //left bottoom small image
        uv.x -= 0.6;
        uv *= 2.0;
        fragColor = texture(iChannel0, uv);
        fragColor += vec4(0.2);
        return;
    }
    //mosaic effect
    uv = uv * 30.0;
    vec2 uv = floor(uv);
    uv = uv/30.0;
    fragColor = texture(iChannel0, uv);
}


The key function of mosaic effect is "floor"

If you want to make it sharper, multiply uv by a larger number.

genType = floor(genType x);

returns a value equal to the nearest integer that is less than or equal to x.



By using floor function, You can lower the resolution by dividing the color interval, which is a mosaic effect.

OpenGL SL - Show Video and Image

The simple image is made like this. void  mainImage(  out   vec4  fragColor,  in   vec2  fragCoord ){      // Normalized pixel coordinates (from 0 to 1)      vec2  uv = fragCoord/iResolution.xy;           //uv.x = uv.x - 0.3;      fragColor =  texture (iChannel0, uv); } I think GPU processing has two major steps. Normalizing and Pointing. 1. Normalizing Each pixel has screen coordinate and we need to normalizing from 0.0 to 1.0, because there are many displays with various resolutions around us. We can not manage it at each resolution. It is very troublesome. So we should normalize it :   vec2   uv = fragCoord/iResolution.xy; 2. Pointing I told you each pixel has a screen coordinate. At each coordinate we need to link with sampler's coordinate. Sampler has also coordinate 0.0 to 1.0. As a result, we see the samplers p...

How to make gaussian blur in SparkAR

 Gaussian blur is result of blurring an image by Gaussian function. We need to use large kernel to make strong blur and this cause the high complexity. And that's why we should use multi-pass which is seperated into horizontal, vertical pass . It can reduce the complexity and make faster. In Spark AR there are many ways to make it. And I wanna introduce one of them using shader files (.sca). You can download it for free from the gumload link below. It is modulated to adjust horizontal, vertical strength easily . Hope this can help you. Loading...

OpenGL SL - Translate, roate, and scale

Translate, rotate and scale are most basic element of image effect. If you didn't understand how make effect at each pixel, please read again before post "Show Video and Image" . 1. Translate Translation means each pixel move parallel on the x, y-axis. In other words, if you want to translate 0.25 on the x-axis, a pixel should point to a distance of -0.25 from the original. Translate ex) void mainImage( out vec4 fragColor, in vec2 fragCoord ){     vec2 uv = fragCoord/iResolution.xy;     if (uv.x < 0.5 ){         // translate to x ( -0.25 )         uv.x += 0.25 ;     } else {         // translate to x ( +0.25 )         uv.x -= 0.25 ;     }     fragColor = texture (iChannel0, uv); } result) 2. Scale Scale also has a  similar concept to parallel translation. If you want to zoom in twice, each pixel s...
