Abstract: A burn-in control method and video processor for executing the same. The video processor intelligently recognizes aspects of a video image that are likely to cause bum-in, and responsive to such recognition, modifies the video image to prevent uneven aging of the pixels. According to one aspect of the disclosure, modifications are spatially made to an entire video frame, one or more selected regions of a video frame, or one or more individual pixels of a video frame. According to another aspect of the disclosure, modifications are temporally made to all frames in a video stream, selected frames in a video stream, or a single frame in a video stream.

Abstract: A system for processing digital images. The system may included a controller that includes a processor and a memory. The system may also include a plurality of image processing blocks operatively coupled with the controller. Each image processing block can be configured to perform a different image processing operation. The image processing blocks and controller can be interconnected and configured to provide sequential pixel processing, in which each image processing block processes input pixels so as to produce output pixels, with the output pixels of an upstream one of the image processing blocks can be fed forward as the input pixels to a downstream one of the image processing blocks. The system may also include a classification block configured to obtain, for each of the image processing blocks, updated classification data for the input pixels to be applied to the image processing block.
