Thanks in advance....

My code...

context = [CIContext contextWithOptions:nil];
     CIFilter *bumpDistortion = [CIFilter filterWithName:@"CIBumpDistortion"];
     [bumpDistortion setValue:ciimage forKey:kCIInputImageKey];
     [bumpDistortion setValue:[CIVector vectorWithX:200 Y:150] forKey:@"inputCenter"];
     [bumpDistortion setValue:[NSNumber numberWithFloat:100] forKey:@"inputRadius"];
     [bumpDistortion setValue:[NSNumber numberWithFloat:3.0] forKey:@"inputScale"];

    CIImage *imageOutput = [bumpDistortion outputImage];

    CGImageRef cgimg = [context createCGImage:imageOutput fromRect:[imageOutput extent]];
    UIImage *newImg = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:cgimg];

    [self.imageView setImage:newImg];

Answer 1

As omz points out, this particular Core Image filter is missing as of iOS 5.1.

However, you can easily do this using my GPUImage framework and the GPUImageBulgeDistortionFilter:

For processing a UIImage, and getting a UIImage result, you'd use code like the following:

UIImage *inputImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"test.jpg"];
GPUImageBulgeDistortionFilter *stillImageFilter = [[GPUImageBulgeDistortionFilter alloc] init];
UIImage *quickFilteredImage = [stillImageFilter imageByFilteringImage:inputImage];

You can also do this on live video or prerecorded movies in realtime.

I show a few other distortions you can perform with this framework in this answer.

where can i get GPUImage framework i need to perform the similar functionality? – Psychognosis

@Spynet - Did you try the link above? github.com/BradLarson/GPUImage You can grab the framework, along with examples that demonstrate this, from GitHub. – Azine

Calling [CIFilter filterNamesInCategory:kCICategoryDistortionEffect] will show you that distortion filters (such as CIBumpDistortion) aren't available at all on iOS.

You can use the same method with kCICategoryBuiltIn to get a list of all filters that are available.
