Copy Commands
An application can copy buffer and image data using several methods described in this chapter, depending on the type of data transfer.
All copy commands are treated as “transfer” operations for the purposes of synchronization barriers.
All copy commands that have a source format with an X component in its format description read undefined values from those bits.
All copy commands that have a destination format with an X component in its format description write undefined values to those bits.
Copying Data Between Buffers
To copy data between buffer objects, call:

any of the specified regions in dstBuffer, values read from those
overlapping regions are undefined.
The VkBufferCopy structure is defined as:

VkDeviceSize size;
} VkBufferCopy;-

VkCommandBuffer commandBuffer,
const VkCopyBufferInfo2* pCopyBufferInfo);or the equivalent command
// Provided by VK_KHR_copy_commands2
void vkCmdCopyBuffer2KHR(
VkCommandBuffer commandBuffer,
const VkCopyBufferInfo2* pCopyBufferInfo);-
commandBufferis the command buffer into which the command will be recorded. -
pCopyBufferInfois a pointer to a VkCopyBufferInfo2 structure describing the copy parameters.
Each source region specified by pCopyBufferInfo->pRegions is copied
from the source buffer to the destination region of the destination buffer.
If any of the specified regions in pCopyBufferInfo->srcBuffer overlaps
in memory with any of the specified regions in
pCopyBufferInfo->dstBuffer, values read from those overlapping regions
are undefined.
The VkCopyBufferInfo2 structure is defined as:
// Provided by VK_VERSION_1_3
typedef struct VkCopyBufferInfo2 {

Copying Data Between Images
To copy data between image objects, call:
// Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
void vkCmdCopyImage(
VkCommandBuffer commandBuffer,
VkImage srcImage,
VkImageLayout srcImageLayout,
VkImage dstImage,
VkImageLayout dstImageLayout,
uint32_t regionCount,
const VkImageCopy* pRegions);-
commandBufferis the command buffer into which the command will be recorded. -
srcImageis the source image. -
srcImageLayoutis the current layout of the source image subresource. -
dstImageis the destination image. -
dstImageLayoutis the current layout of the destination image subresource. -
regionCountis the number of regions to copy. -
pRegionsis a pointer to an array of VkImageCopy structures specifying the regions to copy.
Each source region specified by pRegions is copied from the source
image to the destination region of the destination image.
If any of the specified regions in srcImage overlaps in memory with
any of the specified regions in dstImage, values read from those
overlapping regions are undefined.
If any region accesses a depth aspect in dstImage
and the VK_EXT_depth_range_unrestricted extension is not enabled,
values copied from srcBuffer outside of the range [0,1] will be
written as undefined values to the destination image.
Multi-planar images can only be copied on a per-plane basis, and the subresources used in each region when copying to or from such images must specify only one plane, though different regions can specify different planes. When copying planes of multi-planar images, the format considered is the compatible format for that plane, rather than the format of the multi-planar image.
If the format of the destination image has a different block extent than the source image (e.g. one is a compressed format), the offset and extent for each of the regions specified is scaled according to the block extents of each format to match in size. Copy regions for each image must be aligned to a multiple of the texel block extent in each dimension, except at the edges of the image, where region extents must match the edge of the image.
Image data can be copied between images with different image types.
If one image is VK_IMAGE_TYPE_3D and the other image is
VK_IMAGE_TYPE_2D with multiple layers, then each slice is copied to or
from a different layer; depth slices in the 3D image correspond to
layerCount layers in the 2D image, with an effective depth of
1 used for the 2D image.
If the maintenance5 feature is enabled, all
other combinations are allowed and function as if 1D images are 2D images
with a height of 1.
Otherwise, other combinations of image types are disallowed.

extentis the size in texels of the image to copy inwidth,heightanddepth.
Copying Data Between Buffers and Images
Data can be copied between buffers and images, enabling applications to load and store data between images and application-defined offsets in buffer memory.
When copying between a buffer and an image, texels in the image and bytes in the buffer are accessed as follows.
Texels at each coordinate (x,y,z,layer) in the image subresource are accessed, where:
-
x is in the range [
imageOffset.x,imageOffset.x+imageExtent.width), -
y is in the range [
imageOffset.y,imageOffset.y+imageExtent.height), -
z is in the range [
imageOffset.z,imageOffset.z+imageExtent.depth), -
layer is in the range [
imageSubresource.baseArrayLayer,imageSubresource.baseArrayLayer+imageSubresource.layerCount)
For each (x,y,z,layer) coordinate in the image, bytes in the buffer are accessed at offsets in the range [texelOffset, texelOffset + blockSize), where:
-
texelOffset =
bufferOffset+ (⌊(x - imageOffset.x) / blockWidth⌋ × blockSize) + (⌊(y - imageOffset.y) / blockHeight⌋ × rowExtent) + (⌊(z - imageOffset.z) / blockDepth⌋ × sliceExtent) + ((layer -imageSubresource.baseArrayLayer) × layerExtent) -
rowExtent = ⌈ max(
bufferRowLength,imageExtent.width) / blockWidth ⌉ × blockSize -
sliceExtent = ⌈ max(
bufferImageHeight,imageExtent.height) / blockHeight ⌉ × rowExtent -
layerExtent = ⌈
imageExtent.depth/ blockDepth ⌉ × sliceExtent
and where blockSize, blockWidth, blockHeight, and blockDepth are the texel block size and extents of the image’s format.
If a rotation is specified by VkCopyCommandTransformInfoQCOM, the 2D region of the image being addressed is rotated around the offset, and texels at each coordinate (x',y',z',layer) are accessed in the image subresource instead, where:
-
If
VK_SURFACE_TRANSFORM_IDENTITY_BIT_KHRis specified, no rotation is performed:-
x' is in the same range as x
-
y' is in the same range as y
-
-
If
VK_SURFACE_TRANSFORM_ROTATE_90_BIT_KHRis specified-
x' is in the range [
imageOffset.x-imageExtent.height,imageOffset.x) -
y' is in the range [
imageOffset.y,imageOffset.y+imageExtent.width)
-
-
If
VK_SURFACE_TRANSFORM_ROTATE_180_BIT_KHRis specified:-
x' is in the range [
imageOffset.x-imageExtent.width,imageOffset.x) -
y' is in the range [
imageOffset.y-imageExtent.height,imageOffset.y)
-
-
If
VK_SURFACE_TRANSFORM_ROTATE_270_BIT_KHRis specified:-
x' is in the range [
imageOffset.x,imageOffset.x+imageExtent.height) -
y' is in the range [
imageOffset.y-imageExtent.width,imageOffset.y)
-
Buffer addressing calculations are unaffected by this rotation.
When copying between a buffer and the depth or stencil aspect of an image, data in the buffer is assumed to be laid out as separate planes rather than interleaved. Addressing calculations are thus performed for a different format than the base image, according to the aspect, as described in the following table:
| Base Format | Depth Aspect Format | Stencil Aspect Format |
|---|---|---|
|
|
- |
|
|
- |
|
|
- |
|
- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When copying between a buffer and any plane of a multi-planar image, addressing calculations are performed using the compatible format for that plane, rather than the format of the multi-planar image.
Each texel block is copied from one resource to the other according to the above addressing equations.
To copy data from a buffer object to an image object, call:
// Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
void vkCmdCopyBufferToImage(
VkCommandBuffer commandBuffer,

srcBufferis the source buffer. -
dstImageis the destination image. -
dstImageLayoutis the layout of the destination image subresources for the copy. -
regionCountis the number of regions to copy. -
pRegionsis a pointer to an array of VkBufferImageCopy structures specifying the regions to copy.
Each source region specified by pRegions is copied from the source
buffer to the destination region of the destination image according to the
addressing calculations for each
resource.
If any of the specified regions in srcBuffer overlaps in memory with
any of the specified regions in dstImage, values read from those
overlapping regions are undefined.
If any region accesses a depth aspect in dstImage
and the VK_EXT_depth_range_unrestricted extension is not enabled,
values copied from srcBuffer outside of the range [0,1] will be
written as undefined values to the destination image.
Copy regions for the image must be aligned to a multiple of the texel block extent in each dimension, except at the edges of the image, where region extents must match the edge of the image.
To copy data from an image object to a buffer object, call:
// Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0

srcImageLayoutis the layout of the source image subresources for the copy. -

image to the destination region of the destination buffer according to the
addressing calculations for each
resource.
If any of the specified regions in srcImage overlaps in memory with
any of the specified regions in dstBuffer, values read from those
overlapping regions are undefined.

VkExtent3D imageExtent;
} VkBufferImageCopy;-
bufferOffsetis the offset in bytes from the start of the buffer object where the image data is copied from or to. -
bufferRowLengthandbufferImageHeightspecify in texels a subregion of a larger two- or three-dimensional image in buffer memory, and control the addressing calculations. If either of these values is zero, that aspect of the buffer memory is considered to be tightly packed according to theimageExtent. -

Including this structure in the pNext chain of
VkBufferImageCopy2 defines a rotation to be performed when copying
between an image and a buffer.
Including this structure in the pNext chain of VkBlitImageInfo2
defines a rotation to be performed when blitting between two images.
If this structure is not specified in either case, the implementation
behaves as if it was specified with a transform equal to
VK_SURFACE_TRANSFORM_IDENTITY_BIT_KHR.
Specifying a transform for a copy between an image and a buffer rotates the region accessed in the image around the offset. Specifying a transform for a blit performs a similar transform as described in Image Blits with Scaling and Rotation.
Rotations other than VK_SURFACE_TRANSFORM_IDENTITY_BIT_KHR can only
be specified for single-plane 2D images with a 1x1x1
texel block extent.
The following commands can be used to copy between host memory and images. Bytes in host memory and texels in images are accessed as specified in Copying Data Between Buffers and Images, with buffers replaced with host memory.

Image Copies With Scaling
To copy regions of a source image into a destination image, potentially performing format conversion, arbitrary scaling, and filtering, call:
// Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
void vkCmdBlitImage(
VkCommandBuffer commandBuffer,
VkImage srcImage,
VkImageLayout srcImageLayout,
VkImage dstImage,
VkImageLayout dstImageLayout,
uint32_t regionCount,
const VkImageBlit* pRegions,
VkFilter filter);-
commandBufferis the command buffer into which the command will be recorded. -
srcImageis the source image. -
srcImageLayoutis the layout of the source image subresources for the blit. -
dstImageis the destination image. -
dstImageLayoutis the layout of the destination image subresources for the blit. -
regionCountis the number of regions to blit. -
pRegionsis a pointer to an array of VkImageBlit structures specifying the regions to blit. -
filteris a VkFilter specifying the filter to apply if the blits require scaling.
vkCmdBlitImage must not be used for multisampled source or
destination images.
Use vkCmdResolveImage for this purpose.
As the sizes of the source and destination extents can differ in any dimension, texels in the source extent are scaled and filtered to the destination extent. Scaling occurs via the following operations:
-
For each destination texel, the integer coordinate of that texel is converted to an unnormalized texture coordinate, using the effective inverse of the equations described in unnormalized to integer conversion:
-
ubase = i + ½
-
vbase = j + ½
-
wbase = k + ½
-
-
These base coordinates are then offset by the first destination offset:
-
uoffset = ubase - xdst0
-
voffset = vbase - ydst0
-
woffset = wbase - zdst0
-
aoffset = a -
baseArrayCountdst
-
-
The scale is determined from the source and destination regions, and applied to the offset coordinates:
-
scaleu = (xsrc1 - xsrc0) / (xdst1 - xdst0)
-
scalev = (ysrc1 - ysrc0) / (ydst1 - ydst0)
-
scalew = (zsrc1 - zsrc0) / (zdst1 - zdst0)
-
uscaled = uoffset × scaleu
-
vscaled = voffset × scalev
-
wscaled = woffset × scalew
-
-
Finally the source offset is added to the scaled coordinates, to determine the final unnormalized coordinates used to sample from
srcImage:-
u = uscaled + xsrc0
-
v = vscaled + ysrc0
-
w = wscaled + zsrc0
-
q =
mipLevel -
a = aoffset +
baseArrayCountsrc
-
These coordinates are used to sample from the source image, as described in
Image Operations chapter, with the filter mode equal to that
of filter, a mipmap mode of VK_SAMPLER_MIPMAP_MODE_NEAREST and
an address mode of VK_SAMPLER_ADDRESS_MODE_CLAMP_TO_EDGE.
Implementations must clamp at the edge of the source image, and may
additionally clamp to the edge of the source region.
|
Due to allowable rounding errors in the generation of the source texture coordinates, it is not always possible to guarantee exactly which source texels will be sampled for a given blit. As rounding errors are implementation-dependent, the exact results of a blitting operation are also implementation-dependent. |
Blits are done layer by layer starting with the baseArrayLayer member
of srcSubresource for the source and dstSubresource for the
destination.
layerCount layers are blitted to the destination image.
When blitting 3D textures, slices in the destination region bounded by
dstOffsets[0].z and dstOffsets[1].z are sampled from slices in
the source region bounded by srcOffsets[0].z and
srcOffsets[1].z.
If the filter parameter is VK_FILTER_LINEAR then the value
sampled from the source image is taken by doing linear filtering using the
interpolated z coordinate represented by w in the previous equations.
If the filter parameter is VK_FILTER_NEAREST then the value
sampled from the source image is taken from the single nearest slice, with
an implementation-dependent arithmetic rounding mode.
The following filtering and conversion rules apply:
-
Integer formats can only be converted to other integer formats with the same signedness.
-
No format conversion is supported between depth/stencil images. The formats must match.
-
Format conversions on unorm, snorm, scaled and packed float formats of the copied aspect of the image are performed by first converting the pixels to float values.
-
For sRGB source formats, nonlinear RGB values are converted to linear representation prior to filtering.
-
After filtering, the float values are first clamped and then cast to the destination image format. In case of sRGB destination format, linear RGB values are converted to nonlinear representation before writing the pixel to the image.
Signed and unsigned integers are converted by first clamping to the representable range of the destination format, then casting the value.

For each element of the pRegions array, a blit operation is performed
for the specified source and destination regions.
For vkCmdBlitImage2, each region copied can include a rotation.
To specify a rotated region, add VkCopyCommandTransformInfoQCOM to the
pNext chain of VkImageBlit2.
For each region with a rotation specified,
Image Blits with Scaling and Rotation
specifies how coordinates are rotated prior to sampling from the source
image.
When rotation is specified, the source and destination images must each be
2D images, have a 1x1x1 texel block extent, and only one plane.
Image Blits With Scaling and Rotation
When VkCopyCommandTransformInfoQCOM is in the pNext chain of
VkImageBlit2, the specified region is rotated during the blit.
The following description of rotated addressing replaces the description in
vkCmdBlitImage.

For each destination texel, the integer coordinate of that texel is converted to an unnormalized texture coordinate, using the effective inverse of the equations described in unnormalized to integer conversion:
-
ubase = i + ½
-
vbase = j + ½
-
wbase = k + ½
-
-
These base coordinates are then offset by the first destination offset:
-
uoffset = ubase - xdst0
-
voffset = vbase - ydst0
-
woffset = wbase - zdst0
-
aoffset = a -
baseArrayCountdst
-
-
The UV destination coordinates are scaled by the destination region, rotated, and scaled by the source region.
-
udest_scaled = uoffset / (xdst1 - xdst0)
-
vdest_scaled = voffset / (ydst1 - ydst0)
-
(usrc_scaled, vsrc_scaled) =
RotateNormUV(udest_scaled, vdest_scaled,transform) -
uscaled = usrc_scaled × (xSrc1 - xSrc0)
-
vscaled = vsrc_scaled × (ySrc1 - ySrc0)
-
-
The W coordinate is unaffected by rotation. The scale is determined from the ratio of source and destination regions, and applied to the offset coordinate:
-
scalew = (zSrc1 - zSrc0) / (zdst1 - zdst0)
-
wscaled = woffset × scalew
-
-
Finally the source offset is added to the scaled source coordinates, to determine the final unnormalized coordinates used to sample from
srcImage:-
u = uscaled + xSrc0
-
v = vscaled + ySrc0
-
w = wscaled + zSrc0
-
q =
mipLevel -
a = aoffset +
baseArrayCountsrc
-
These coordinates are used to sample from the source image as described for
Image Operations, with the filter mode equal to that of
filter; a mipmap mode of VK_SAMPLER_MIPMAP_MODE_NEAREST; and an
address mode of VK_SAMPLER_ADDRESS_MODE_CLAMP_TO_EDGE.
Implementations must clamp at the edge of the source image, and may
additionally clamp to the edge of the source region.

If the source formats are integer types, a single sample’s value is selected for each pixel.

z offsets in texels of the sub-regions of the source and destination
image data.

This includes the completion of other preceding

While consecutive buffer marker writes with the same stage parameter

between buffer marker writes and other operations must still be explicitly
ordered using synchronization commands.
The access scope for buffer marker writes falls under the
