Run the AI chatbot sample

./bin/examples/chatbot_sample
 
AI Chatbot - Type 'q' or 'quit' or 'exit' to stop
==========================================
 
You: hi
AI: How can I assist you today?
 
You: tell me about yourself
AI: I'm an artificial intelligence model known as Llama.
Llama stands for "Large Language Model Meta AI."
 
You: what is the preamble to the US constition ?
AI: The preamble to the United States Constitution is:
 
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish
Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general
Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain
and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

🖼️ Image Processing Pipeline

Explore traditional computer vision with our image processing pipeline. This sample demonstrates how CoreFlow handles complex multi-stage image transformations efficiently.

Key Features:

• Color space conversion
• Gaussian blur processing
• Memory-efficient operations
• Pipeline optimization

Perfect for: Image preprocessing, computer vision pipelines, real-time video processing

Run the image processing sample

./bin/examples/blur_pipeline

// Create processing pipeline
auto rgb = Image::createImage(context, width, height, VX_DF_IMAGE_RGB);
auto yuv = Image::createImage(context, width, height, VX_DF_IMAGE_YUV4);
auto gray = Image::createImage(context, width, height, VX_DF_IMAGE_U8);
auto blur = Image::createImage(context, width, height, VX_DF_IMAGE_U8);

🔧 Custom Kernel Development

Learn how to extend CoreFlow with your own custom processing code on the fly. This sample shows the complete workflow from kernel creation to graph integration.

// Register the custom kernel
auto add_kernel = Kernel::registerCustomKernel(
    context,
    "example.scalar_add",
    {
        // direction, type, state
        {VX_INPUT, VX_TYPE_INT32, VX_PARAMETER_STATE_REQUIRED},
        {VX_INPUT, VX_TYPE_INT32, VX_PARAMETER_STATE_REQUIRED},
        {VX_OUTPUT, VX_TYPE_INT32, VX_PARAMETER_STATE_REQUIRED}
    },
    // Custom kernel function via lambda
    [](vx_node node, const vx_reference parameters[], vx_uint32 num) -> vx_status {
        (void)node;
        (void)num;
        int32_t a = 0, b = 0, c = 0;
        auto scalar_a = (vx_scalar)parameters[0];
        auto scalar_b = (vx_scalar)parameters[1];
        auto scalar_out = (vx_scalar)parameters[2];
 
        scalar_a->readValue(&a);
        scalar_b->readValue(&b);
        // Add two scalar values
        c = a + b;
        scalar_out->writeValue(&c);
 
        return VX_SUCCESS;
    });

Key Features:

• Custom kernel implementation
• Graph integration
• Parameter handling
