  • Systems, methods, and computer program products for a video encoding pipeline
    Patent number: 10602185
    Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products that may improve the efficiency of the video encoding process. Mode decision processing and bit stream packing may be performed in parallel for various frames in a sequence. This reduces the amount of idle time for both the mode decision processing logic and the bit stream packing logic, improving the overall efficiency of the video encoder.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: March 24, 2020
    Assignee: Intel Corporation
    Inventors: Sang-Hee Lee, Jian James Zhou, Ning Lu, Jason D. Tanner, Changwon D. Rhee, Hong Jiang
  • On screen display detection
    Patent number: 9516389
    Abstract: An on-screen display (OSD) processing system can include video data fetch modules to receive video data from a video source, edge detection modules to detect an edge of a region within a scene represented by the video data, edge processing modules to process results from the edge detection modules, and an OSD confidence level adjustment module to adjust an OSD confidence level corresponding to the region within the scene.
