Abstract: Systems and methods for the automatic creation of multiple image layouts. In an example, an image processing application creates an output layered image from an input layered image that includes a background object, a foreground object, and a focus area that at least partially overlaps with the foreground object. The image processing application applies a scaling factor to the foreground object such that the foreground object either is entirely contained within the output foreground object or one dimension of the foreground object is contained within the output foreground object. The image processing application further determines an output focus area in the output foreground object by applying the scaling factor to the focus area. The image processing application crops the foreground object such that the focus area is contained within the output foreground object, thereby creating the output layered image.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a vehicle controller determines a predicted driving performance level of a vehicle driving control entity (VDCE) while the vehicle is controlled by a different VDCE. Driving control is transitioned to the VDCE, after which an actual driving performance level of the VDCE is monitored. The vehicle controller determines whether to transition driving control away from the VDCE based on the actual driving performance level. In another embodiment, after transition driving control to a VDCE, a period of heightened scrutiny used to evaluate the actual driving performance level of the VDCE specifically after the transition.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for error correction control (ECC) for a memory device comprising a data portion and an ECC portion, the memory device coupled to a system on a chip (SoC). The SoC includes an ECC cache. On receipt of a request to write a line of data to the memory, a determination is made if the data is compressible. If so, the data line is compressed. ECC bits are generated for the compressed or uncompressed data line. A determination is made if an ECC cache line is associated with the received data line. If the data line is compressible, the ECC bits are appended to the compressed data line and the appended data line is stored in the data portion of the memory. Otherwise, the ECC bits are stored in the ECC cache and the data line is stored in the data portion of the memory.
