The goal of my program is to compare between the depth of the RGB-D camera and OpenGL depth.
The camera is facing a model (real one) and it has its own shaders (fragment and vertex).
To make comparison, a 3D Model is made, this one has also its own shaders (the depth is normally linearized as I followed what is explained in this tutorial: https://learnopengl.com/Advanced-OpenGL/Depth-testing).
So the comparison will be done on the depth received from the camera and the depth related to the 3D model.
So,the steps I have done are:
1.In the initialization function
Create two textures for each one (color and depth textures).
Generate two FBOs (one for the camera, the other one for the 3D Model).
Attach textures to their FBOs.
/* Other stuff needed for initialization */
...
// Generate color texture
glGenTextures(1, &colorTex);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, colorTex);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL_NEAREST);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_NEAREST);
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_RGBA32F, _windowWidth, _windowHeight, 0, GL_RGBA, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, NULL);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0);
// Generate depth texture
glGenTextures(1, &depthTex);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, depthTex);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL_NEAREST);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_NEAREST);
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT, _windowWidth, _windowHeight, 0, GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT, GL_FLOAT, NULL);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0);
// Attach the color and depth textures to current FrameBuffer
glGenFramebuffers(1, &_fboGL);
glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, _fboGL);
glFramebufferTexture2D(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0, GL_TEXTURE_2D, colorTex, 0);
glFramebufferTexture2D(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_DEPTH_ATTACHMENT, GL_TEXTURE_2D, depthTex, 0);
In the main function for Drawing and rendering
Render the camera stream by binding its FBO.
Draw 3D Model by binding its own FBO.
Try to print openGL depth related to the 3D Model.
A fragment of the code looks like below:
glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, fbo);
glFramebufferTexture2D(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0, GL_TEXTURE_2D, camColorTex, 0);
glFramebufferTexture2D(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_DEPTH_ATTACHMENT, GL_TEXTURE_2D, camDepthTex, 0);
glViewport(0, 0, windowWidth, windowHeight);
glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);
glClearColor(0.25f, 0.25f, 0.25f, 1.f);
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);

A fragment code for drawModelFunction()
glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, fboGL);
glFramebufferTexture2D(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0, GL_TEXTURE_2D, colorTex, 0);

GLfloat *pixels = (GLfloat *)malloc(_windowWidth * _windowHeight * sizeof *pixels);
assert(pixels);

glGetTexImage(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT, GL_FLOAT, pixels);
/* print the the values stored in **pixels** */
free(pixels);
glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, 0);
When I try to display the values stored in the depth, I only obtain one value "1.0f" and the color returns me only the value "0.0f". In addition to that, the rendering is not here as I mixed everything with FBOs. I have a screen with mixture of camera stream, a red square inserted in the middle of the screen with the GUI in it (that took the red color of the square). And No 3D Model. (This is the result I have obtained after binding the framebuffers everywhere like shown before).
I have been looking for OpenGL Multi Sample Anti Aliasing tutorials and I found many but I'll take 2.
They use a different way to do this. I have tested both ways and both work for my project so I can use any of them.
I use this to render my game engine scene to a texture.
This is the 1st way:
Create the FBO with MSAA
// create a texture object
glGenTextures(1, &textureId);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, textureId);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_S, GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_T, GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE);
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_RGBA8, width, height, 0, GL_RGBA, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, 0);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0);
// create a MSAA framebuffer object
// NOTE: All attachment images must have the same # of samples.
// Ohterwise, the framebuffer status will not be completed.
glGenFramebuffers(1, &fboMsaaId);
glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, fboMsaaId);
// create a MSAA renderbuffer object to store color info
glGenRenderbuffers(1, &rboColorId);
glBindRenderbuffer(GL_RENDERBUFFER, rboColorId);
glRenderbufferStorageMultisample(GL_RENDERBUFFER, MSAA_level, GL_RGB8, width, height);
glBindRenderbuffer(GL_RENDERBUFFER, 0);
// create a MSAA renderbuffer object to store depth info
// NOTE: A depth renderable image should be attached the FBO for depth test.
// If we don't attach a depth renderable image to the FBO, then
// the rendering output will be corrupted because of missing depth test.
// If you also need stencil test for your rendering, then you must
// attach additional image to the stencil attachement point, too.
glGenRenderbuffers(1, &rboDepthId);
glBindRenderbuffer(GL_RENDERBUFFER, rboDepthId);
glRenderbufferStorageMultisample(GL_RENDERBUFFER, MSAA_level, GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT, width, height);
glBindRenderbuffer(GL_RENDERBUFFER, 0);
// attach msaa RBOs to FBO attachment points
glFramebufferRenderbuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0, GL_RENDERBUFFER, rboColorId);
glFramebufferRenderbuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_DEPTH_ATTACHMENT, GL_RENDERBUFFER, rboDepthId);
// create a normal (no MSAA) FBO to hold a render-to-texture
glGenFramebuffers(1, &fboId);
glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, fboId);
glGenRenderbuffers(1, &rboId);
glBindRenderbuffer(GL_RENDERBUFFER, rboId);
glRenderbufferStorage(GL_RENDERBUFFER, GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT, width, height);
glBindRenderbuffer(GL_RENDERBUFFER, 0);
// attach a texture to FBO color attachement point
glFramebufferTexture2D(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0, GL_TEXTURE_2D, textureId, 0);
// attach a rbo to FBO depth attachement point
glFramebufferRenderbuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_DEPTH_ATTACHMENT, GL_RENDERBUFFER, rboId);
//## disable color buffer if you don't attach any color buffer image,
//## for example, rendering the depth buffer only to a texture.
//## Otherwise, glCheckFramebufferStatus will not be complete.
//glDrawBuffer(GL_NONE);
//glReadBuffer(GL_NONE);
// check FBO status
if (glCheckFramebufferStatus(GL_FRAMEBUFFER) != GL_FRAMEBUFFER_COMPLETE)
return false;
glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, 0);
And when I need to draw the scene
glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, fboMsaaId);
glViewport(0, 0, width, height);
glClearColor(0.1f, 0.1f, 0.1f, 1.0f);
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
DrawScene();
glBindFramebuffer(GL_READ_FRAMEBUFFER, fboMsaaId);
glBindFramebuffer(GL_DRAW_FRAMEBUFFER, fboId);
glBlitFramebuffer(0, 0, width, height, // src rect
0, 0, width, height, // dst rect
GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT, // buffer mask
GL_LINEAR); // scale filter
glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, 0);
glViewport(0, 0, App->window->GetWidth(), App->window->GetHeight());
The 2nd way:
Create the FBO with MSAA
unsigned int framebuffer;
glGenFramebuffers(1, &framebuffer);
glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, framebuffer);
// create a multisampled color attachment texture
unsigned int textureColorBufferMultiSampled;
glGenTextures(1, &textureColorBufferMultiSampled);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D_MULTISAMPLE, textureColorBufferMultiSampled);
glTexImage2DMultisample(GL_TEXTURE_2D_MULTISAMPLE, 4, GL_RGB, SCR_WIDTH, SCR_HEIGHT, GL_TRUE);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D_MULTISAMPLE, 0);
glFramebufferTexture2D(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0, GL_TEXTURE_2D_MULTISAMPLE, textureColorBufferMultiSampled, 0);
// create a (also multisampled) renderbuffer object for depth and stencil attachments
unsigned int rbo;
glGenRenderbuffers(1, &rbo);
glBindRenderbuffer(GL_RENDERBUFFER, rbo);
glRenderbufferStorageMultisample(GL_RENDERBUFFER, 4, GL_DEPTH24_STENCIL8, SCR_WIDTH, SCR_HEIGHT);
glBindRenderbuffer(GL_RENDERBUFFER, 0);
glFramebufferRenderbuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_DEPTH_STENCIL_ATTACHMENT, GL_RENDERBUFFER, rbo);
if (glCheckFramebufferStatus(GL_FRAMEBUFFER) != GL_FRAMEBUFFER_COMPLETE)
cout << "ERROR::FRAMEBUFFER:: Framebuffer is not complete!" << endl;
glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, 0);
// configure second post-processing framebuffer
unsigned int intermediateFBO;
glGenFramebuffers(1, &intermediateFBO);
glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, intermediateFBO);
// create a color attachment texture
unsigned int screenTexture;
glGenTextures(1, &screenTexture);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, screenTexture);
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_RGB, SCR_WIDTH, SCR_HEIGHT, 0, GL_RGB, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, NULL);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);
glFramebufferTexture2D(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0, GL_TEXTURE_2D, screenTexture, 0); // we only need a color buffer
if (glCheckFramebufferStatus(GL_FRAMEBUFFER) != GL_FRAMEBUFFER_COMPLETE)
cout << "ERROR::FRAMEBUFFER:: Intermediate framebuffer is not complete!" << endl;
glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, 0);
And when I need to draw the scene:
glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, framebuffer);
glViewport(0, 0, width, height);
glClearColor(0.1f, 0.1f, 0.1f, 1.0f);
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
DrawScene();
glBindFramebuffer(GL_READ_FRAMEBUFFER, framebuffer);
glBindFramebuffer(GL_DRAW_FRAMEBUFFER, intermediateFBO);
glBlitFramebuffer(0, 0, SCR_WIDTH, SCR_HEIGHT, 0, 0, SCR_WIDTH, SCR_HEIGHT, GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT, GL_LINEAR);
glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, 0);
glViewport(0, 0, App->window->GetWidth(), App->window->GetHeight());
Summarizing:
1st way: Create FBO, create RBO for color and RBO for depth and use glRenderbufferStorageMultisample(...) to specify the MSAA level. Then create other FBO with texture for color and RBO for depth.
2nd way: Create FBO, create Texture for color and RBO for depth and using glTexImage2DMultisample(...) for MSAA level in the texture. Then create other FBO and a texture.
What are the differences on using one way or other? Is one better than the other?
MSAA setup in your example is actually the same in both cases. The only difference between the two methods you depicted is - different FBO attachment type. In general, you will want to attach a texture and not render buffer when you later need to use the information from that FBO for further render passes. In such a case you would plug previous render pass FBO's texture attachment into texture unit, and sample from it in the next pass shader program. Shadow mapping is one of such cases.
This is the part of bigger project basically, I'm Creating Framebuffer with color, depth and stencil buffer in a following way:
// Create texture
glGenTextures(1, &m_textureInput);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, m_textureInput);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_S, GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_T, GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_RGBA8, getWidth(), getHeight(), 0, GL_BGRA, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, 0);
// Create FBOs
glGenFramebuffers(1, &m_fboInput);
glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, m_fboInput);
// Attach texture to it
glFramebufferTexture2D(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0, GL_TEXTURE_2D, m_textureInput, 0);
// Render buffer, depth with stencil
glGenRenderbuffers(1, &m_rbDepthStencilInput);
glBindRenderbuffer(GL_RENDERBUFFER, m_rbDepthStencilInput);
glRenderbufferStorage(GL_RENDERBUFFER, GL_DEPTH24_STENCIL8, getWidth(), getHeight());
//Attach depth buffer to FBO
glFramebufferRenderbuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_DEPTH_ATTACHMENT, GL_RENDERBUFFER, m_rbDepthStencilInput);
//Also attach as a stencil
glFramebufferRenderbuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_STENCIL_ATTACHMENT, GL_RENDERBUFFER, m_rbDepthStencilInput);
status = glCheckFramebufferStatus(GL_FRAMEBUFFER);
if(status != GL_FRAMEBUFFER_COMPLETE)
{
// Restore current framebuffer
glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, 0);
return false;
}
glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, 0);
I bind it to render to it with:
glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, m_fboInput);
// render
glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, 0);
When i dump attached texture with:
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, m_textureInput);
long imageSize = x * y * 4;
unsigned char *data = new unsigned char[imageSize];
glReadPixels(0,0,x,y, GL_BGRA,GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE,data);
i receive content of main framebuffer (0).
Any idea what I'm dong wrong?
Thanks in advance.
glReadPixels docs say it reads data from the framebuffer. since you bound zero to it before, my guess would be it reads from the default framebuffer.
you can either bind your framebuffer object, then call glReadBuffer with GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0 and then do glReadPixels or, maybe more straight forward, use glGetTexImage to directly read from your texture.
I want to implement post-rendering 3D warp using position data and color data stored in a FBO. How to do it efficiently in modern OpenGL? By position data, they are camera-relative XYZ coordinates.
I have two FBOs, say fbo1 and fbo2. fbo1 is for data (position+color) input, and fbo2 is for data output (the results after post-rendering 3D warp). FBO setup code for both FBOs is as following:
void setupFBO( int width, int height )
{
// Create and bind the FBO
glGenFramebuffers(1, &FBO);
glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, FBO);
// The depth buffer
glGenRenderbuffers(1, &fboDepthBuf);
glBindRenderbuffer(GL_RENDERBUFFER, fboDepthBuf);
glRenderbufferStorage(GL_RENDERBUFFER, GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT, width, height);
// The color buffer
glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE0);
glGenTextures(1, &fboColorTex);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, fboColorTex);
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_RGBA16F, width, height, 0, GL_RGBA, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, NULL);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_NEAREST);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL_NEAREST);
// The position buffer
glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE1);
glGenTextures(1, &fboPosTex);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, fboPosTex);
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_RGBA32F, width, height, 0, GL_RGBA, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, NULL);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_NEAREST);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL_NEAREST);
// Attach the images to the framebuffer
glFramebufferRenderbuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_DEPTH_ATTACHMENT, GL_RENDERBUFFER, fboDepthBuf);
glFramebufferTexture2D(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0, GL_TEXTURE_2D, fboColorTex, 0);
glFramebufferTexture2D(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT1, GL_TEXTURE_2D, fboPosTex, 0);
// Set the targets for the fragment output variables
GLenum drawBuffers[] = {GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0, GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT1};
glDrawBuffers(2, drawBuffers);
glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, 0);
}
Assume we've data stored in fbo1, i.e. color data in fbo1.fboColorTex and position data in fbo1.fboPosTex, and we know the transformation (modelview) matrix needed for transforming the position data and also the projection matrix. How to obtain the transformed position and color data? One way to implement it could be like the following:
glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, fbo2);
glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE0);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, fbo1.fboColorTex);
glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE1);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, fbo1.fboPosTex);
// set shader parameters for textures
// set modelview, projection matrices
// what to render here? A full-screen quad?
glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, 0);
What do render? And what shaders should look like?
The other way I can think of is to use dynamic VBOs, but I'm not sure how to dynamically assign VBO's vertex and color data from textures (in fbo1)... The reason that I mention dynamic VBO is because fbo1's data can be changed but not frequently.
I am unable to read correct depth values from depth texture using glreadpixels function. FBO status is complete. other render targets also look fine after blitting to another FBO.
code snippet:
// Create the FBO
glGenFramebuffers(1, &m_fbo);
glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, m_fbo);
// Create the gbuffer textures
glGenTextures(GBUFFER_NUM_TEXTURES, m_textures);
glGenTextures(1, &m_depthTexture);
for (unsigned int i = 0 ; i < GBUFFER_NUM_TEXTURES ; i++) {
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, m_textures[i]);
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_RGBA16F, fboWidth, fboHeight, 0, GL_RGBA, GL_FLOAT, NULL);
glFramebufferTexture2D(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0 + i, GL_TEXTURE_2D, m_textures[i], 0);
}
// depth
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, m_depthTexture);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_S, GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_T, GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_NEAREST);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL_NEAREST);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_COMPARE_MODE, GL_NONE);
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT32F, fboWidth, fboHeight, 0, GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT, GL_FLOAT,
NULL);
glFramebufferTexture2D(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_DEPTH_ATTACHMENT, GL_TEXTURE_2D, m_depthTexture, 0);
GLenum DrawBuffers[] = { GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0, GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT1 };
glDrawBuffers(GBUFFER_NUM_TEXTURES, DrawBuffers);
GLenum Status = glCheckFramebufferStatus(GL_FRAMEBUFFER);
if (Status != GL_FRAMEBUFFER_COMPLETE) {
printf("FB error, status: 0x%x\n", Status);
return 0;
}
// drawing something with depth test enabled.
// Now i am using glreadpixels functions to read depth values from depth texture.
int w = 4, h = 1;
GLfloat windowDepth[4];
glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, m_fbo);
glReadPixels(x, y, w, h, GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT, GL_FLOAT, windowDepth);
You are drawing to a depth texture. The appropriate function to call to read a texture into client memory is glGetTexImage (...).
Now, since there is no glGetTexSubImage (...), you need to allocate enough client storage to hold an entire LOD of the depth texture. Something like this will probably do the trick:
GLuint w = fboWidth, h = fboHeight;
GLfloat windowDepth [w * h];
glBindTexture (GL_TEXTURE_2D, m_depthTexture);
glGetTexImage (GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT, GL_FLOAT, windowDepth);
Keep in mind that unlike glReadPixels (...), glGetTexImage (...) does not perform pixel transfer conversion. That is, your format and data type must be an exact match with the types used when the texture was created, the GL will not convert your data.
With that out of the way, can I ask why you are reading the depth buffer into client memory in the first place? You appear to be using deferred shading, so I can see why you need a depth texture, but it is less clear why you need a copy of the depth buffer outside of shaders. You will have a hard time achieving interactive frame rates if you copy the depth buffer each frame.
