Having issue with SKEffectNode - ios

I am following Apple's SpriteKit documentation, now I am trying to use SKEffectNode, but my problem is the effect will not be applied! Here is my code :
SKEffectNode *lightingNode = [[SKEffectNode alloc] init];
SKTexture *texture = [SKTexture textureWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"Spaceship"]];
SKSpriteNode *light = [SKSpriteNode spriteNodeWithTexture:texture];
self.filter = [self blurFilter];
lightingNode.position = self.view.center;
lightingNode.blendMode = SKBlendModeAdd;
[lightingNode addChild: light];
[self addChild:lightingNode];
//applying blur
- (CIFilter *)blurFilter
{
CIFilter *filter = [CIFilter filterWithName:#"CIBoxBlur"]; // 3
[filter setDefaults];
[filter setValue:[NSNumber numberWithFloat:20] forKey:#"inputRadius"];
return filter;
}
When you run the app it just show spaceship without any blur effect.

It looks like #"CIBoxBlur" filter doesn't exist anymore, at least in iOS 7.0. You can use #"CIGaussianBlur". You can see full list of the filters by running:
NSArray* filters = [CIFilter filterNamesInCategories:nil];
for (NSString* filterName in filters)
{
NSLog(#"Filter: %#", filterName);
}

I don't see anywhere that you're setting the filter property of the effect node you've created, nor where you're setting its shouldEnableEffects property to YES.
As implied by the aforelinked documentation, both of those properties need a meaningful value if your effect node is to apply a filter.

I used your code with the following changes and all tested great!
//switch this
lightingNode.position
//to this
light.position
//add this
lightingNode.shouldEnableEffects = YES;
//change
CIBoxBlur
//to
CIGaussianBlur

iOS UIImageView memory not getting deallocated on ARC

I want to animate an image view in circular path and on click of image that image view need to change the new image. My problem is the images i allocated to the image view is not deallocated. And app receives memory warning and crashed. I surfed and tried lot of solutions for this problem but no use. In my case i need to create all ui components from Objective c class. Here am posting the code for creating image view and animation.
#autoreleasepool {
for(int i= 0 ; i < categories.count; i++)
{
NSString *categoryImage = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#_%ld.png",[categories objectAtIndex:i],(long)rating];
if (paginationClicked) {
if([selectedCategories containsObject:[categories objectAtIndex:i]]){
categoryImage = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"sel_%#",categoryImage];
}
}
UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] init];
imageView.image = [self.mySprites objectForKey:categoryImage];
imageView.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit;
imageView.clipsToBounds = NO;
[imageView sizeToFit];
imageView.accessibilityHint = [categories objectAtIndex:i];
// imageView.frame = CGRectMake(location.x+sin(M_PI/2.5)*(self.view.frame.size.width*1.5),location.y+cos(M_PI/2.5)*(self.view.frame.size.width*1.5) , 150, 150);
imageView.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
imageView.multipleTouchEnabled = YES;
UITapGestureRecognizer *singleTap = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self
action:#selector(categoryTapGestureCaptured:)];
singleTap.numberOfTapsRequired = 1;
[imageView addGestureRecognizer:singleTap];
[categoryView addSubview:imageView];
CAKeyframeAnimation *animation = [CAKeyframeAnimation animationWithKeyPath:#"position"];
UIBezierPath *path = [UIBezierPath bezierPath];
[path addArcWithCenter:location
radius:self.view.frame.size.width*1.5
startAngle:0.8
endAngle:-0.3+(0.1*(i+1))
clockwise:NO];
animation.path = path.CGPath;
imageView.center = path.currentPoint;
animation.fillMode = kCAFillModeForwards;
animation.removedOnCompletion = NO;
animation.duration = 1+0.25*i;
animation.timingFunction = [CAMediaTimingFunction functionWithName:kCAMediaTimingFunctionEaseIn];
// Apply it
[imageView.layer addAnimation:animation forKey:#"animation.trash"];
}
}
And this is the code to change the image on click.
for (UIImageView *subview in subviews) {
NSString *key = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#_%ld.png",subview.accessibilityHint,(long)rating];
if ([SelectedCategory isEqualToString:subview.accessibilityHint]) {
NSString *tempSubCategory = [categoryObj objectForKey:SelectedCategory];
if([selectedCategories containsObject:SelectedCategory]){
subview.image = [self.mySprites objectForKey:key];
[selectedCategories removeObject:SelectedCategory];
if (tempSubCategory.length != 0) {
subCategoriesAvailable = subCategoriesAvailable-1;
}
[self showNoPagination:subCategoriesAvailable+2];
}else{
if(selectedCategories.count != 2){
key = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"sel_%#",key];
subview.image = [self.mySprites objectForKey:key];
[selectedCategories addObject:SelectedCategory];
if ([SelectedCategory isEqualToString:#"Other"]) {
[self showCommentDialog];
}else{
if (tempSubCategory.length != 0) {
subCategoriesAvailable = subCategoriesAvailable+1;
}
[self showNoPagination:subCategoriesAvailable+2];
}
}
}
[self disableCategories];
break;
}
}
And i don't know what am doing wrong here. I tried nullifying on for loop but no use.
Code which i used for removing the image view
UIView *categoryView = [self.view viewWithTag:500];
NSArray *subviews = [categoryView subviews];
for (UIImageView *subview in subviews) {
if(![selectedCategories containsObject:subview.accessibilityHint]){
[subview removeFromSuperview];
subview.image = Nil;
}
}

// If this is a #2x image it is twice as big as it should be.
// Take care to consider the scale factor here.
[tempDictionary setObject:[UIImage imageWithCGImage:sprite scale:scale orientation:UIImageOrientationUp] forKey:[xmlSprite objectForKey:#"n"]];
CGImageRelease(sprite);
}
return [NSDictionary dictionaryWithDictionary:tempDictionary];
}
#end
Please help me to resolve this. Thanks in advance.
It looks like all the images are being retained by the dictionary(assumption) self.mySprites, as you are loading them with the call imageView.image = [self.mySprites objectForKey:categoryImage];
If you loaded the images into the dictionary with +[UIImage imageNamed:], then the dictionary initially contains only the compressed png images. Images are decompressed from png to bitmap as they are rendered to the screen, and these decompressed images use a large amount of RAM (that's the memory usage you're seeing labeled "ImageIO_PNG_Data"). If the dictionary is retaining them, then the memory will grow every time you render a new one to the screen, as the decompressed data is held inside the UIImage object retained by the dictionary.
Options available to you:
Store the image names in the self.mySprites dictionary, and load the images on demand. You should be aware that +[UIImage imageNamed:] implements internal RAM caching to speed things up, so this might also cause memory issues for you if the images are big, as the cache doesn't clear quickly. If this is an issue, consider using +[UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:], although it requires some additional code (not much), which doesn't cache images in RAM.
Re-implement self.mySprites as an NSCache. NSCache will start throwing things out when the memory pressure gets too high, so you'll need to handle the case that the image is not there when you expect it to be, and load it from disk (perhaps using the above techniques)
CAKeyframeAnimation inherits from CAPropertyAnimation which in tern is inherited from CAAnimation.
If you see the delegate of CAAnimation class, it is strongly referenced as written below as it is declared -
/* The delegate of the animation. This object is retained for the
* lifetime of the animation object. Defaults to nil. See below for the
* supported delegate methods. */
#property(strong) id delegate;
Now you have added the reference of animation on imageView.layer, doing so the reference of imageView.layer will be strongly retained by CAAnimation reference.
Also you have set
animation.removedOnCompletion = NO;
which won't remove the animation from layer on completion
So if you are done with a image view then first removeAllAnimations from its layer and then release the image view.
I think as the CAAnimation strongly refers the imageView reference(it would also have increased it's retain count) and this could be the reason that you have removed the imageView from superview, after which it's retain count would still not be zero, and so leading to a leak.
Is there any specific requirement to set
animation.removedOnCompletion = NO;
since, setting
animation.removedOnCompletion = YES;
could solve the issue related to memory leak.
Alternatively, to resolve memory leak issue you can remove the corresponding animation on corresponding imageView' layer, by implementing delegate of CAAnimation, like as shown below -
/* Called when the animation either completes its active duration or
* is removed from the object it is attached to (i.e. the layer). 'flag'
* is true if the animation reached the end of its active duration
* without being removed. */
- (void)animationDidStop:(CAAnimation *)anim finished:(BOOL)flag {
    if (flag) {
        NSLog(#"%#", #"The animation is finished. Do something here.");
    }
//Get the reference of the corresponding imageView
    [imageView.layer removeAnimationForKey:#"animation.trash"];
}
UIView *categoryView = [self.view viewWithTag:500];
NSArray *subviews = [categoryView subviews];
for (UIImageView *subview in subviews) {
if(![selectedCategories containsObject:subview.accessibilityHint]){
[subview.layer removeAnimationForKey:#"animation.trash"]; // either this
//or// [subview.layer removeAllAnimations]; //alternatively
[subview removeFromSuperview];
subview.image = Nil;
}
}

Image auto-rotates after using CIFilter

I am writing an app that lets users take a picture and then edit it. I am working on implementing tools with UISliders for brightness/contrast/saturation and am using the Core Image Filter class to do so. When I open the app, I can take a picture and display it correctly. However, if I choose to edit a picture, and then use any of the described slider tools, the image will rotate counterclockwise 90 degrees. Here's the code in question:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
self.navigationItem.hidesBackButton = YES; //hide default nav
//get image to display
DBConnector *dbconnector = [[DBConnector alloc] init];
album.moments = [dbconnector getMomentsForAlbum:album.title];
Moment *mmt = [album.moments firstObject];
_imageView.image = [mmt.moment firstObject];
CGImageRef aCGImage = _imageView.image.CGImage;
CIImage *aCIImage = [CIImage imageWithCGImage:aCGImage];
_editor = [CIFilter filterWithName:#"CIColorControls" keysAndValues:#"inputImage", aCIImage, nil];
_context = [CIContext contextWithOptions: nil];
[self startEditControllerFromViewController:self];
}
//cancel and finish buttons
- (BOOL) startEditControllerFromViewController: (UIViewController*) controller {
[_cancelEdit addTarget:self action:#selector(cancelEdit:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[_finishEdit addTarget:self action:#selector(finishEdit:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
return YES;
}
//adjust brightness
- (IBAction)brightnessSlider:(UISlider *)sender {
[_editor setValue:[NSNumber numberWithFloat:_brightnessSlider.value] forKey: #"inputBrightness"];
CGImageRef cgiimg = [_context createCGImage:_editor.outputImage fromRect:_editor.outputImage.extent];
_imageView.image = [UIImage imageWithCGImage: cgiimg];
CGImageRelease(cgiimg);
}
I believe that the problem stems from the brightnessSlider method, based on breakpoints that I've placed. Is there a way to stop the auto-rotating of my photo? If not, how can I rotate it back to the normal orientation?
Mere minutes after posting, I figured out the answer to my own question. Go figure. Anyway, I simply changed the slider method to the following:
- (IBAction)brightnessSlider:(UISlider *)sender {
[_editor setValue:[NSNumber numberWithFloat:_brightnessSlider.value] forKey: #"inputBrightness"];
CGImageRef cgiimg = [_context createCGImage:_editor.outputImage fromRect:_editor.outputImage.extent];
UIImageOrientation originalOrientation = _imageView.image.imageOrientation;
CGFloat originalScale = _imageView.image.scale;
_imageView.image = [UIImage imageWithCGImage: cgiimg scale:originalScale orientation:originalOrientation];
CGImageRelease(cgiimg);
}
This simply records the original orientation and scale of the image, and re-sets them when the data is converted back to a UIImage. Hope this helps someone else!

SKTransition transitionWithCIFilter:duration: not animating

I've been trying to create a page-turn transition between scenes in SpriteKit like this:
+ (SKTransition *)pageTurnTransition {
float w = 768.0;
float h = 1024.0;
CIVector *extent = [CIVector vectorWithX:0 Y:0 Z:w W:h];
CIImage *shadingImage = [[CIImage alloc] initWithColor:[CIColor colorWithRed:0.2 green:0.2 blue:0.2]];
CIImage *blankImage = [[CIImage alloc] initWithColor:[CIColor colorWithRed:1 green:1 blue:1]];
CIFilter *pageCurlFilter = [CIFilter filterWithName:#"CIPageCurlTransition"
keysAndValues:
#"inputExtent", extent,
#"inputShadingImage", shadingImage,
#"inputBacksideImage", blankImage,
#"inputAngle",[NSNumber numberWithFloat: -0.2*M_PI],
#"inputRadius", [NSNumber numberWithFloat: 70],
nil
];
return [SKTransition transitionWithCIFilter:pageCurlFilter duration:1];
}
This is how I call the transition:
SKScene *spaceshipScene = [[SpaceshipScene alloc] initWithSize:self.size];
[[self view] presentScene:spaceshipScene transition:[HelloScene pageTurnTransition]];
The problem is that the transition does not animate, it just stays at the original scene for the specified (1 second) duration of the transition, then abruptly shows the next scene.
Anybody knows what I am doing wrong? I've tested this in the iPad simulator iOS 7.1.
I tried your code and it could reproduce your problem.
It seems to be an issue with the CurlTransition. If you use one of the built in transitions it works:
return [SKTransition doorsCloseVerticalWithDuration:2];
Are you sure that the shadingImage mustn't be transparent?

Is it possible to apply a filter on a SKEmitterNode?

I have a scene with an SKEmitterNode which works fine when directly added to the scene.
However, I want to add a SKEffectNode on the scene to blur the emitter particles.
This is how it looks.
#implementation MyScene
-(id)initWithSize:(CGSize)size {
if (self = [super initWithSize:size]) {
/* Setup your scene here */
self.backgroundColor = [SKColor colorWithRed:1.0 green:1.0 blue:1.0 alpha:1.0];
SKEffectNode *blurNode = [[SKEffectNode alloc] init];
CIFilter *blurFilter = [CIFilter filterWithName:#"CIGaussianBlur"];
[blurFilter setValue:#10.0 forKey:kCIInputRadiusKey];
blurNode.filter = blurFilter;
blurNode.shouldEnableEffects = YES;
NSString *bokehPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"Bokeh" ofType:#"sks"];
SKEmitterNode *bokeh = [NSKeyedUnarchiver unarchiveObjectWithFile:bokehPath];
[blurNode addChild:bokeh];
[self addChild:blurNode];
}
return self;
}
This results in a blank screen.
Since a SKScene is a subclass of SKEffectNode as well, I tried adding a CIFilter to the scene directly as well.
-(id)initWithSize:(CGSize)size {
if (self = [super initWithSize:size]) {
/* Setup your scene here */
self.backgroundColor = [SKColor colorWithRed:1.0 green:1.0 blue:1.0 alpha:1.0];
CIFilter *blurFilter = [CIFilter filterWithName:#"CIGaussianBlur"];
[blurFilter setValue:#10.0 forKey:kCIInputRadiusKey];
NSString *bokehPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"Bokeh" ofType:#"sks"];
SKEmitterNode *bokeh = [NSKeyedUnarchiver unarchiveObjectWithFile:bokehPath];
[self addChild:bokeh];
self.filter = blurFilter;
}
return self;
}
Same result.
It's possible to achieve this effect if you indeed apply the filter to the scene directly. Add the following to your second code:
self.shouldEnableEffects = YES;
If you still see a blank screen, try using bright-coloured particles on a black background instead of your white one for this effect. But expect the framerate to drop considerably. You might be better off using a blurred texture for the particles themselves in the Particle Editor.

GPUImage RawDataInput and RawDataOutput rotates image

I'm trying to use GPUImage rawInput and rawOutput to do some custom stuff, but somehow my output is rotated.
I'm setting my GPUImageVideoCamera like this:
self.videoCamera = [[GPUImageVideoCamera alloc] initWithSessionPreset:AVCaptureSessionPreset640x480 cameraPosition:AVCaptureDevicePositionBack];
self.videoCamera.outputImageOrientation = UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait;
self.videoCamera.runBenchmark = YES;
And then just this.
CGSize rawSize = CGSizeMake(640.0, 480.0 );
GPUImageRawDataOutput *rawOutput = [[GPUImageRawDataOutput alloc] initWithImageSize:rawSize resultsInBGRAFormat:YES];
GPUImageRawDataInput __block *rawInput = [[GPUImageRawDataInput alloc] initWithBytes:[rawOutput rawBytesForImage] size:rawSize];;
__weak GPUImageRawDataOutput *weakRawOutput = rawOutput;
[rawOutput setNewFrameAvailableBlock:^{
[weakRawOutput rawBytesForImage];
[rawInput updateDataFromBytes:[weakRawOutput rawBytesForImage] size:rawSize];
[rawInput processData];
}];
and of course
[self.videoCamera addTarget:rawOutput];
[rawInput addTarget:self.cameraView];
[self.videoCamera startCameraCapture];
This is what i get
https://www.dropbox.com/s/yo19o7ryagk58le/2013-12-05%2018.02.56.png
Any ideas how to PROPERLY handle this?
EDIT:
I just found out, that putting sepia filter before rawOutput corrects rotation, but grayScale filter doesn't ...
