Please do not post the same thing multiple times. The board software automatically flags certain posts as needing moderator attention. This happens the most often for new users. I'm pretty sure this is made clear at the time you attempt to post. Posting the same thing over and over again just makes that many more posts the moderators have to weed through later. This makes us sad. Don't make us sad. If your post/thread doesn't appear, just wait a while. Don't post it again. If it hasn't shown up by the next day, then you can try again. I normally go through posts in the mornings, and try to check a few times throughout the day, but I'm not here 24/7. There will typically be a significant delay before posts are approved. Just be patient.

Convert UIImage to CVImageBufferRef

This code mostly works but the resulting data seems to be losing a color channel (or something!) The sample image I am using is of a face and the result comes out tinted blue! Here is my code:

UIImage* myImage=[UIImage imageNamed:@\"sample1.png\"];
CGImageRef imageRef=[myImage CGImage];
CVImageBufferRef pixelBuffer = [self pixelBufferFromCGImage:imageRef];


The pixelBufferFromCGImage method was found on stackoverflow and is as follows:

- (CVPixelBufferRef) pixelBufferFromCGImage: (CGImageRef) image
{

CGSize frameSize = CGSizeMake(CGImageGetWidth(image), CGImageGetHeight(image));
NSDictionary *options = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
[NSNumber numberWithBool:NO], kCVPixelBufferCGImageCompatibilityKey,
[NSNumber numberWithBool:NO], kCVPixelBufferCGBitmapContextCompatibilityKey,
nil];
CVPixelBufferRef pxbuffer = NULL;
CVReturn status = CVPixelBufferCreate(kCFAllocatorDefault, frameSize.width,
frameSize.height, kCVPixelFormatType_32ARGB, (CFDictionaryRef) options,
&pxbuffer);
NSParameterAssert(status == kCVReturnSuccess && pxbuffer != NULL);

CVPixelBufferLockBaseAddress(pxbuffer, 0);
void *pxdata = CVPixelBufferGetBaseAddress(pxbuffer);


CGColorSpaceRef rgbColorSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB();
CGContextRef context = CGBitmapContextCreate(pxdata, frameSize.width,
frameSize.height, 8, 4*frameSize.width, rgbColorSpace,
kCGImageAlphaNoneSkipLast);

CGContextDrawImage(context, CGRectMake(0, 0, CGImageGetWidth(image),
CGImageGetHeight(image)), image);
CGColorSpaceRelease(rgbColorSpace);
CGContextRelease(context);

CVPixelBufferUnlockBaseAddress(pxbuffer, 0);

return pxbuffer;
}


I've tried changing the colorspace etc. but no matter I do I get a blue image :)
