Merge

Function Usage

Image channel merging API of the tensor class. It is used to merge multiple images into a multiple-channel image. Asynchronous calling is supported.

It is supported by the Atlas inference product and Atlas 200I/500 A2 inference product.

For the Atlas 200I/500 A2 inference product, preloading is supported (see Example of the Preloading File of the Initialization Operator).

The following conditions must be met:

  • The input and output tensors must be on the device or DVPP side, and the parameters (stream and data memory) must be on the same device.
  • For synchronization, the device where the data memory is located must be the same as the initialized device.
  • The input and output parameters cannot exceed four dimensions, and must match the tensor shapes (except the last dimension) and types.

Parameters

Parameter

Input/Output

Description

tv

Input

std::vector <Tensor> class. It stores tensors to be merged. The tensor type can be the float16, float32, or uint8.

HWC (three-dimensional) and NHWC (four-dimensional) are supported. The length of the tv vector must be greater than 1 (at least two tensors must be passed).

dst

Output

Tensor class. The merged multi-channel tensor supports float16, float32, and uint8 data types. An empty tensor can be passed. If dst is not an empty tensor, call Tensor.Malloc() to allocate memory in advance.

The value of C in dst is 3 or 4, which is equal to the total number of C in tv.

stream

Input

AscendStream type. The default value is AscendStream::DefaultStream(). When the parameter value is the default value, the API calling is a synchronous operation. In other cases, the API calling is an asynchronous operation.
