  • Multiple Camera Color Balancing
    Publication number: 20220294969
    Abstract: Color and exposure matching for systems, such as a videoconferencing endpoint, that have overlapping camera fields of view. The geometric relationships between the overlapping cameras are used to determine correction processing. For each camera, histograms are developed for the overlapping cameras. A dynamic threshold is determined for each histogram. Using the dynamic threshold, peak detection is performed on each histogram. Using the geometric relationships, expected histogram relationships are determined. The actual histogram relationships are compared to the expected relationships, with further processing based on the correctness of the comparison. In some of the cases of further processing, peaks of the histograms are compared to find matching and non-matching peaks. Various ratios of pixels in the various peaks are used to determine needed changes to respective cameras.

  • ERROR CONCEALMENT IN SPLIT RENDERING USING SHADING ATLASES
    Publication number: 20220284665
    Abstract: A client device of a split rendering graphics processing architecture, receives an encoded shading atlas for a current frame. The encoded shading atlas is characterized by slices. The client decodes the received encoded shading atlas and identifies unsuccessfully decoded slices. The client then determines whether each patch of the decoded shading atlas intersects an identified unsuccessfully decoded slice. The client determines, for each intersecting patch, whether a prior valid version of each intersecting patch is stored at the client device. The client error conceals each intersecting patch having a prior valid version stored at the client device with the corresponding prior valid version to create an error concealed atlas. The client renders the current frame using the error concealed atlas.
