Abstract: Provided are mechanisms and processes for performing live filtering in a camera view via client-server communication. In one example, a first video frame in a raw video stream is transmitted from a client device to a server. The client device receives a filter processing message associated with the first video frame that includes filter data for applying a filter to the first video frame. A processor at the client device creates a filtered video stream by applying the filter to a second video frame that occurs in the video stream later than the first video frame.

Abstract: A multibit flash quantizer circuit, such as included as a portion of delta-sigma conversion circuit, can be operated in a dynamic or configurable manner. Information indicative of at least one of an ADC input slew rate or a prior quantizer output code can be used to establish a flash quantizer conversion window. Within the selected conversion window, comparators in the quantizer circuit can be made active. Comparators outside the conversion window can be made dormant, such as depowered or biased to save power. An output from such dormant converters can be preloaded and latched. In this manner, full resolution is available without requiring that all comparator circuits within the quantizer remain active at all times.

Abstract: A network monitoring system that summarizes a plurality of data packets of a session into a compact session record for storage and processing. Each session record may be produced in real-time and made available during the session and/or after the termination of the session. Depending on protocols, a network monitoring system extracts different sets of information, removes redundant information from the plurality of data packets, and adds performance information to produce the session record. The network monitoring system may retrieve and process a single session record or multiple session records for the same or different protocols to determine cause of events, resolve issues in a network or evaluate network performance or conditions. The session record enables analysis in the units of session instead of individual packets. Hence, the network monitoring system can analyze events, issues or performance of the network more efficiently and effectively.

Abstract: Some or all of a comparator circuit of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) circuit can be efficiently repurposed or reused for residue amplification for efficient noise-shaping, e.g., in a noise-shaping feedback configuration. A preamplifier portion of a comparator circuit in an oversampling ADC can be re-purposed to provide an amplifier to amplify or otherwise modify a residue left after the bit trials of a conversion cycle. The amplified or modified residue can then be used elsewhere, for example, for noise-shaping by applying a noise transfer function (NTF), a result of which can then be fed back (e.g., summed with the next sampled input at an input of the comparator circuit for use in the N bit trials of the next ADC cycle).

Abstract: An automated motion-blur detection process can detect frames in digital videos where only a part of the frame exhibits motion blur. Certain embodiments programmatically identify a plurality of feature points within a video clip, and calculate a speed of each feature point within the video clip. A collective speed of the plurality of feature points is determined based on the speed of each feature point. A selection factor is compared to a selection threshold for each video frame. The selection factor is based at least in part on the collective speed of the plurality of feature points. Based on this comparison, at least one video frame from within the video clip is selected. In some aspects, the selected video frame is relatively free of motion blur, even motion blur that occurs in only a part of the image.
