Abstract: Provided is a system and method of electronically identifying a license plate and comparing the results to a predetermined database. The software aspect of the system runs on standard PC hardware and can be linked to other applications or databases. It first uses a series of image manipulation techniques to detect, normalize and enhance the image of the number plate. Optical character recognition (OCR) is used to extract the alpha-numeric characters of the license plate. The recognized characters are then compared to databases containing information about the vehicle and/or owner.

Abstract: Various aspects include methods for managing memory subsystems on a computing device. Various aspect methods may include determining a period of time to force a memory subsystem on the computing device into a low power mode, inhibiting memory access requests to the memory subsystem during the determined period of time, forcing the memory subsystem into the low power mode for the determined period of time, and executing the memory access requests to the memory subsystem inhibited during the determined period of time in response to expiration of the determined period of time.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to manage image signal processor (ISP) data traffic is provided. The apparatus includes an ISP having an ISP front-end configured to receive image data and a first memory configured to store the image data. The ISP front-end is further configured to output the image data stored in the first memory to a second memory via a memory link in response to the image data stored in the first memory reaching a size threshold. Another apparatus includes apparatus includes a camera sensor configured to output image data in a camera mode, an ISP on a die, a camera link coupling the camera sensor and the ISP, a memory, and a memory link coupling the ISP and the memory. The memory link is configured to enter a low-power mode in the camera mode.

Abstract: Example techniques are described for image processing to selectively perform a warping operation if there is change in orientation of a display device between frames. For example, if there is change in orientation of a display device between processing a first frame and after rendering of a second frame, processing circuitry may perform a warp operation on the second frame to warp image content of the second frame based on a current orientation of the display device. If there is no change in orientation of the display device between processing a third frame and after rendering of a fourth frame, the processing circuitry may bypass the warp operation on the fourth frame to avoid warping entire image content of the fourth frame.

Abstract: An image capture device that includes an adjustment circuit configured to monitor image parameters, generate updated image settings for the image capture device in response to the monitored image parameters, and transmit the updated image settings to one or more processors. The updated image settings configure the one or more processors to determine whether to transition the image capture device from a dynamic scene mode to a static scene mode based on a first image parameter included in the monitored image parameters, wherein the first image parameter is different from a second image parameter used to determine to transition the image capture device from the static scene mode to the dynamic scene mode, and to suspend generation of all or less than all of the updated image settings in response to determining to transition the image capture device from the dynamic scene mode to the static scene mode.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and device for accelerating playback of a single-fragment video. The method includes: when a video playback request sent by a playback end being intercepted, obtaining from the video playback request a first requested time point and a segment data length of the single-fragment video; downloading video data from the first requested time point of the target single-fragment video, and forwarding the downloaded video data to the playback end for real-time playback; and when a data length of the downloaded video data being equal to the segment data length, simultaneously downloading and caching one or more data segments following the data segment corresponding to the first requested time point in the target single-fragment video. On the basis of ensuring smooth playback of the single-fragment video data by the playback end, this disclosure accelerates data downloading and caching of the single-fragment video.
