Abstract
Techniques for merging multiple filters into a single GPU program is described. The system includes a filtering engine, which receives an input to apply a plurality of filters to a source image. The filtering engine identifies a first type of filter and a second type of filter from the input. The filtering engine identifies a supplemental transformation filter from the input, implements the supplemental transformation filter using a custom function to generate a color value at the source image and merges the first type of filter and the second type of filter based on the supplemental transformation filter. Finally, the filtering engine may apply the merged filter on the source image to generate a destination image.
