  • Patent number: 11250537
    Abstract: An image processor unit is described. The image processor unit includes a plurality of inputs to receive at least one input image. The image processor unit includes a plurality of outputs to provide at least one output image. The image processor unit includes a network coupled to the plurality of inputs and the plurality of outputs. The network is to couple at least one of the inputs to at least one of the outputs. The image processor unit includes an image processor circuit coupled to the network. The network to route an input image that is received at one of the inputs to the image processor circuit. The image processor circuit is to execute image signal processing program code to generate a processed output image from the input image. The network is to route the processed output image to at least one of the outputs.

  • Patent number: 7254174
    Abstract: A process and a system is described for generating an MPEG output bitstream starting from an MPEG input bitstream. The output bitstream has a resolution modified with respect to the resolution of the input bitstream. In the input bitstream, first portions that substantially do not affect and second portions that do affect resolution variation are distinguished. The second portions are then subjected to a function of modification of the resolution obtained by filtering the second portions in a domain of the discrete cosine transform, and then are transferred to the output bitstream. A corresponding computer program product is also provided.

  • Patent number: 7010041
    Abstract: In order to generate, starting from an input MPEG bitstream, an output MPEG bitstream having at least one entity chosen among syntax, resolution, and bitrate modified with respect to the input bitstream, first portions and second portions are distinguished in the input bitstream, which respectively substantially do not affect and do affect the variation in bitrate. When at least one between the syntax and the resolution is to be modified, the first portions of the input bitstream are subjected to the required translation, then transferring said first portions subjected to syntax and/or resolution translation to the output bitstream. When the resolution is left unaltered, the second portions are transferred from the input bitstream to the output bitstream in the substantial absence of processing operations. When the resolution is changed, the second portions of the input bitstream are subjected to a filtering in the domain of the discrete cosine transform.
