ios - How do you get different random images from the `CIRandomGenerator` filter? -
it appears me output of cifilter(name: "cirandomgenerator")
same, regardless of whether 1 references outputimage
of instance multiple times or whether 1 instantiates new filter:
import coreimage let randomfilter = cifilter(name: "cirandomgenerator") let outputimage = randomfilter!.outputimage!.cropped(to: (cgrect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 100, height: 100))) let outputimage2 = randomfilter!.outputimage!.cropped(to: (cgrect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 100, height: 100))) // pause amount of time it's not // instantiating prng same timestamp let rf2 = cifilter(name: "cirandomgenerator") rf2!.outputimage!.cropped(to: (cgrect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 100, height: 100)))
which, if examine pixels, same.
i not see kind of seed
parameter can passed in initialize pseudo-random number generator properly.
since cifilter
has infinite extent, can randomly offset location in call cropped
, appears work, seems hack. missing proper way initialize / getnext
random filter?
i put comment, feel it's answer worthy.
that seems you've correctly described me. consider - random number generator? sure may take "seed", generators will provide predictable number if ran time , time again. (provided don't start adding other things equation.)
so output of cirandomgenerator
may thought of same kind of thing. taken (0,0) it's "random" out infinity. once you've "seeded" things - given origin other (0,0) - you've "captured" consider "random".
