C Specification

To create an optical flow session object, call:

// Provided by VK_NV_optical_flow
VkResult vkCreateOpticalFlowSessionNV(
    VkDevice                                    device,
    const VkOpticalFlowSessionCreateInfoNV*     pCreateInfo,
    const VkAllocationCallbacks*                pAllocator,
    VkOpticalFlowSessionNV*                     pSession);

Parameters

  • device is the logical device that creates the optical flow session object.

  • pCreateInfo is a pointer to a VkOpticalFlowSessionCreateInfoNV structure containing parameters specifying the creation of the optical flow session.

  • pAllocator controls host memory allocation as described in the Memory Allocation chapter.

  • pSession is a pointer to a VkOpticalFlowSessionNV handle specifying the optical flow session object which will be created by this function when it returns VK_SUCCESS

Description

Valid Usage (Implicit)
  • VUID-vkCreateOpticalFlowSessionNV-device-parameter
    device must be a valid VkDevice handle

  • VUID-vkCreateOpticalFlowSessionNV-pCreateInfo-parameter
    pCreateInfo must be a valid pointer to a valid VkOpticalFlowSessionCreateInfoNV structure

  • VUID-vkCreateOpticalFlowSessionNV-pAllocator-parameter
    If pAllocator is not NULL, pAllocator must be a valid pointer to a valid VkAllocationCallbacks structure

  • VUID-vkCreateOpticalFlowSessionNV-pSession-parameter
    pSession must be a valid pointer to a VkOpticalFlowSessionNV handle

  • VUID-vkCreateOpticalFlowSessionNV-device-queuecount
    The device must have been created with at least 1 queue

Return Codes
On success, this command returns
  • VK_SUCCESS

On failure, this command returns
  • VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY

  • VK_ERROR_INITIALIZATION_FAILED
