Title
Add AMD GPU support for AI Green Screen via DirectML
Summary
Add a non-NVIDIA backend for AI Green Screen so AMD GPU users can use background removal without NVIDIA Maxine.
Motivation
Camera-on-Screen currently gates AI Green Screen through the NVIDIA Maxine path. The plain overlay works on non-RTX machines, but AMD users cannot use AI effects. DirectML + ONNX Runtime should let us run a segmentation model on DirectX 12-capable AMD GPUs.
Proposed Scope
- Add an optional DirectML/ONNX Runtime green-screen backend.
- Keep the existing NVIDIA Maxine green-screen path unchanged.
- Capability probing should enable Green Screen if either Maxine or DirectML backend is available.
- Add provider-specific detail text, e.g.
NVIDIA Maxine or DirectML.
- Update docs to say Green Screen can run on NVIDIA Maxine or DirectML-supported GPUs.
Out of Scope
- AMD Eye Contact.
- AMD Super Resolution.
- Frame interpolation / Smooth 60 fps.
- Replacing the existing NVIDIA Maxine implementation.
Implementation Notes
Likely files:
native/shim/aigs.*
native/shim/capture.*
native/shim/shim.*
native/shim/shim.vcxproj
src/CameraOnScreen.Core/Native/Contracts.cs
src/CameraOnScreen.Core/Orchestration/Orchestrator.cs
- README / CONTRIBUTING / THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES
Potential backend:
- ONNX Runtime + DirectML
- Segmentation model producing an alpha matte
- Existing BGRA in/out frame contract should remain unchanged
Acceptance Criteria
- On NVIDIA RTX, existing Maxine green screen still works.
- On AMD GPU with DirectML backend available, Green Screen toggle enables.
- On unsupported machines, Green Screen remains disabled with a clear reason.
- Stub/no-SDK builds still compile.
- Core unit tests cover capability probing and effect gating.
- Docs and third-party notices are updated.
