*Vision nodes are exported but contain stub implementations

🔍 Critical Missing Functions (Priority)

High Priority

  1. vxSetGraphAttribute - Graph configuration
  2. vxCopyTensorPatch - Tensor operations
  3. vxCreateTensorFromHandle - Memory interop

Medium Priority

  1. vxRegisterKernelLibrary - User kernel support
  2. vxSwapTensorHandle - Memory management
  3. vxCreateImageObjectArrayFromTensor - Object array interop

Low Priority (VXU Tensor Functions)

7-23. VXU tensor operations - These are convenience wrappers around lower-level tensor operations

📝 Notes

  1. Vision Kernels: All 45+ vision node functions are exported but contain stub implementations (no actual algorithms). They need real image processing code for vision conformance.

  2. VXU Functions: 17 tensor-related VXU functions are missing. These are higher-level convenience functions.

  3. Baseline Conformance: 100% achieved with current implementation (25/25 tests passing).

  4. Vision Conformance: Requires both:

    • Implementing missing functions (above)
    • Adding actual algorithm implementations to vision kernels

Recommendations

Phase 1: Complete Core API (1-2 weeks)

  1. Implement vxSetGraphAttribute
  2. Implement vxCopyTensorPatch
  3. Implement vxCreateTensorFromHandle

Phase 2: Extended API (2-3 weeks)

  1. Implement vxRegisterKernelLibrary
  2. Implement vxSwapTensorHandle
  3. Implement missing VXU tensor functions

Phase 3: Vision Algorithms (6-8 weeks)

  1. Implement actual vision kernel algorithms
  2. Validate numerical accuracy
