CoreImage

VK × ITMO · 2023

A talk about how we went from custom Accelerate-based image filters to Metal and CoreImage at VK

Covers the migration from CPU-bound Accelerate image processing to GPU-accelerated pipelines using Metal and CoreImage: the performance bottlenecks in the original approach, the architecture of CoreImage’s filter graph, and how Metal shaders integrate with the CoreImage pipeline for real-time image processing
