# Image Convolution in Kotlin

This project implements and benchmarks sequential and several parallel approaches to applying 2D filters to grayscale images.

## ✨ Features

- Sequential and parallel convolution
- Interactive CLI tool for applying filters to images
- Performance benchmarking and analysis
- Predefined filters
- Support for user-supplied or built-in test images
- Convolve several images at once using sequential or asynchronous pipeline

## Built-in Filters

All filters are defined as 2D matrices (kernels), with optional normalization (`factor`) and offset (`bias`).

* `blur_3x3`, `blur_5x5`
* `gaussian_blur_3x3`, `gaussian_blur_5x5`
* `sharpen`
* `edge_detect`
* `motion_blur`
* `identity`
* `emboss`

## Modes of Convolution

| Mode | Description |
| -------- | -------------------------------- |
| `seq` | Standard single-threaded version |
| `pixels` | Parallelized per-pixel |
| `rows` | Rows processed in parallel |
| `cols` | Columns processed in parallel |
| `tiles` | Blocks (tiles) of the image |

## Types of Pipelines

| Mode | Description |
| -------- | -------------------------------- |
| `seq` | Convolve one image at a time using any mode |
| `async` | Convolve several images simultaneously |


## 🧪 Requirements

- JDK 17+
- Kotlin
- Gradle
- OpenCV via [JavaCPP](https://github.com/bytedeco/javacpp)

## Getting started
Clone the repo:
```bash
git clone git@github.com:sofyak0zyreva/convolution.git
```
Run the following command to install the dependencies:

```bash
./gradlew build
```

## ▶️ Usage

To apply a filter to an image via CLI:

```bash
./gradlew run --quiet --console=plain
```

You'll be prompted to:

1. Enter an image path (or use defaults from _resources/images/_). You can enter path from the repository root or absolute path
2. Select a mode (with optional batch/tile sizes -- they are responsible for how many pixels will be allocated per coroutine)
3. Choose a filter

The result will be saved as a new `.bmp` file in the project directory's `output` folder.


## 🧵 Performance Benchmarking
You can simply run `main()` in the specified file (simplest for `BenchmarkPipelines.kt`).

To measure the performance of a specific mode (`BenchmarkSizes.kt`):

```kotlin
val result = benchmarkSingleMode(inputImage, filter, ConvolutionMode.ParallelRows(8))
println(result)
```
Here, you can also use randomly generated images of a chosen size.

To compare all modes (`BenchmarkAllModes.kt`):

```kotlin
val results = benchmarkAllModes(image, filter)
results.forEach(::println)
```

To benchmark scalability (e.g., for rows/cols/tiles) (`EfficiencyAnalysis.kt`):

```kotlin
val sizes = listOf(1, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128)
benchmarkSizes(image, filter, { ConvolutionMode.ParallelRows(8) }, sizes)
```



## ✅ Testing & Correctness

* Sequential implementation serves as the reference with key points preserved:
- Compositionality: applying filters sequentially should equal applying their composition
(e.g., `apply(filter1, apply(filter2, img)) == apply(filter1 ⊕ filter2, img)`)
- Identity: some filters compose to identity (e.g., _shift-left _then_ shift-right_)
- Zero-padding: expanding filters with zeros shouldn't change results
- Known-output filters: test with trivial filters (_zero filter, identity filter_)
* All modes are tested against the sequential implementation for numerical accuracy
* Standard Error of the Mean (SEM) is reported in benchmarks. See [Performance Analysis](./src/test/kotlin/benchmarks/EfficiencyAnalysis.md),
[Plots](./src/test/kotlin/benchmarks/plots), and [Results](./src/test/kotlin/benchmarks/results) for more

Run:

```bash
./gradlew test
```
