YUV to RGB conversion by fragment shader

Question

I\'ve a problem with convertion of camera preview in Android from YUV format to RGB. The purpose of conversion is to apply some effects. I try to convert by fragment shader

Answer 1

For the fastest and most optimized way, just use the common GL Extention

//Fragment Shader
#extension GL_OES_EGL_image_external : require
uniform samplerExternalOES u_Texture;

Than in Java

surfaceTexture = new SurfaceTexture(textureIDs[0]);
try {
   someCamera.setPreviewTexture(surfaceTexture);
} catch (IOException t) {
   Log.e(TAG, "Cannot set preview texture target!");
}

someCamera.startPreview();

private static final int GL_TEXTURE_EXTERNAL_OES = 0x8D65;

In Java GL Thread

GLES20.glActiveTexture(GLES20.GL_TEXTURE0);
GLES20.glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_EXTERNAL_OES, textureIDs[0]);
GLES20.glUniform1i(uTextureHandle, 0);

The color conversion is already done for you. You can do what ever you want right in the Fragment shader.

Hope that saves you some time in your research.
