I'm working on a simple MacOS command-line application in Swift. I created a custom CoreImage filter and having troubles to use it. The code compiles just fine but when it runs it exits with the following error:
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSUnknownKeyException', reason: '[ setValue:forUndefinedKey:]: this class is not key value coding-compliant for the key inputImage.'
Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated. Tried searching for an answer on SO but since my application does not use Storyboards or Outlets (it's pure command-line) unfortunately I couldn't help myself.
My program breaks on this line:
filter.setValue(inputImage, forKey: kCIInputImageKey)
Here's the code I'm using:
class CustomFilter:CIFilter {
var inputImage:CIImage?
let kernelString = CIKernel(string:
"kernel vec4 chromaKey( __sample s) { \n" +
" vec4 newPixel = s.rgba;" +
" newPixel[0] = 0.0;" +
" newPixel[2] = newPixel[2] / 2.0;" +
" return newPixel;\n" +
"}"
)
override var outputImage:CIImage! {
guard
let inputImage = inputImage
else {
return nil
}
let extent = inputImage.extent
let blur = kernelString?.apply(
withExtent: extent,
roiCallback: {
(index, rect) in
return rect
},
arguments: [inputImage])
return blur!.cropping(to: extent)
}
}
let filter = CustomFilter()
filter.setValue(inputImage, forKey: kCIInputImageKey) // it breaks here
guard
let result = filter.outputImage
else {
return nil
}
return result
