Abstract: This document relates to an optical device using waveguide that can enable propagation of large field of view images by use of metasurfaces, without the necessity of increasing the reflective index associated with the waveguide. The metasurfaces can further provide image distortion correction to images to account for possible distortion introduced by an optical assembly. The metasurfaces can also be used to create a foveated image, in order to achieve a larger field of view for the image.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide methods and an apparatus including processing circuitry configured to receive workflow information of a workflow. The processing circuitry generates, based on the workflow information, the workflow to process input data. The workflow includes a first processing task, a second processing task, and a first buffering task.

State information of the first processing task is stored in the paused state. Subsequently, the second processing task is caused to enter a running state where the first processed subset data is processed.
