//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Key codes:
    // start filtering
    int y = start(src, _srcRoi, isolated);//only a init;

So  it calls "start" to proceed. We want to know , where convolution happens, See start

 

proceed is the core.

 

 

 

 proceed( src.data + y*src.step,
             (int)src.step, endY - startY,
             dst.data + dstOfs.y*dst.step +
             dstOfs.x*dst.elemSize(), (int)dst.step );
