FBO Render to texture

[Cyanure]

Hi,

I have some problems with the render to texture. But first, let me explain a bit the context.

In my project, I have an input image which is a CIImage (Core Image = Apple) that I want to modify in OpenCL.
However, it seems that it is not possible to convert directly a CIImage into a OpenCL image2d.
The only way to do it (as far as i know) is the following:

CIImage -> OpenGL texture attached to a FBO -> OpenCL image2d

I think I understand now the concept of FBO, but I'm clearly not an expert in OpenGL.
In this context, OpenGL is just a gateway between Core Image and OpenCL...
I paste some code bellow.

// Create the FBO object
glGenFramebuffersEXT(1, &FBOid);
 
// Create the texture
glGenTextures(1, &FBOTextureId);
 
// Bind to FBO
glBindFramebufferEXT(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_EXT, FBOid);
 
// Initialize FBO Texture
glBindTexture(  GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE_ARB, FBOTextureId);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE_ARB, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE_ARB, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE_ARB, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_S,     GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE_ARB, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_T,     GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE);
glTexImage2D(   GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE_ARB, 0, GL_RGBA, width, height, 0, GL_BGRA, GL_UNSIGNED_INT_8_8_8_8_REV, NULL);
 
// Attach texture to the FBO
glFramebufferTexture2DEXT(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_EXT, GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0_EXT, GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE_ARB, FBOTextureId, 0);	
 
// Make sure the FBO was created succesfully.
if (GL_FRAMEBUFFER_COMPLETE_EXT != glCheckFramebufferStatusEXT(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_EXT))
{
    printf("ERROR\n");
}
 
// Unbind FBO 
glBindFramebufferEXT(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_EXT, 0);

Then I render my CIImage in the FBO which should fill the OpenGL texture.
When I render the FBO, I see my image correctly.
But when I read my OpenGL texture in OpenCL, the values are random.

One may say that I haven't transferred correctly the OpenGL texture to the OpenCL image2d.
But if I specify a buffer containing the image pixels in glTexImage2D (last parameter), then everything works perfectly.
So how can the rendering be good and the texture empty?
My guess: I read the texture before it has actually been filled.

How to be sure that my texture has been filled at some point?

Thank you for your help,

Vincent

The last parameter in glTexImage2D() when set yo null just allocates the memory. After this it is your responsibility to load the texture.

If your texture is going to be read only, I would prefer passing data to the function and then attach to FBO.

If you want to later upload a texture use sub texture command version of glTexImage2D.
