Abstract: In one embodiment, a computing device includes processing circuitry and interface circuitry. The processing circuitry receives an encoded video stream via the interface circuitry, which contains video encoded within multiple layers corresponding to different video resolutions, including a base layer and one or more enhancement layers. The base layer encodes the video at a base resolution and the one or more enhancement layers encode the video at one or more enhanced resolutions higher than the base resolution. The processing circuitry extracts the base layer from the encoded video stream and decodes the video at the base resolution from the base layer. The processing circuitry then detects content in the video at the base resolution and generates metadata indicating the content detected in the video.

Abstract: A method and system for managing consistent data objects are included herein. The method includes detecting an operation to store a consistent data object. Additionally, the method includes detecting an attribute for the consistent data object. Furthermore, the method includes storing the consistent data object based on the attribute. In addition, the method includes determining an additional format of the consistent data object is to be stored. The method also includes generating a second consistent data object based on the additional format and storing the second consistent data object.

Abstract: Techniques related to accelerating color conversion are discussed. Such techniques may include generating a converted color value based on an array of ordered coefficients associated with a subsection of a section of a color conversion space and input color channel value offsets within the section of the color conversion space.

Abstract: A flexible representation of fine grain image buffer validity is included in an image graph implementation API to provide a mechanism for a graph node developer to communicate limits of scheduling constraints imposed by a graph's source and destination images. An image graph executor may employ a producer and/or consumer node scoreboard object or function defined through the image graph implementation API to schedule work tasks to hardware resources in a more efficient manner. In some embodiments, an image processing engine is configured to begin processing completed source data blocks (e.g., image tiles) through an image graph before all upstream tasks associated with the source image are complete. In further embodiments, a destination image is to be indicated as at least partially complete so that work dependent on one more completed data blocks may begin before the destination image is fully buffered into memory.

Abstract: A flexible representation of library function equivalency is included in an image graph implementation API to provide a mechanism for a graph node developer to identify functions that may be executed on heterogeneous devices to arrive at sufficiently equivalent results. An image graph executor may employ an equivalency class object or function defined through the image graph implementation API to schedule work subtasks to heterogeneous hardware resources in parallel for greater implementation efficiency.

Abstract: A flexible representation of destination-source data block dependency is included in an image graph implementation optimization API to provide a mechanism for a graph node developer to communicate limits of scheduling constraints imposed by a graph's node connections. An image graph compiler and/or image graph executor may employ the destination-source data block dependency defined through the image graph implementation API to schedule work tasks to hardware resources in a more efficient manner.

Abstract: Techniques related to rendering scanned images are discussed. Such techniques may include selectively processing segments of a scanned input image based on a neutral edge tag signal such that segments are color suppressed and edge enhanced when the neutral edge tag signal is asserted and error diffusion processed when the neutral edge tag signal is not asserted.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, an image pipeline controller may determine an image stream having a plurality of image primitives to be executed. Each image primitive may be, for example, associated with an image algorithm and a set of primitive attributes. The image pipeline controller may then automatically deploy the set of image primitives to an image computation fabric based at least in part on primitive attributes.
