  • Publication number: 20250086762
    Abstract: Distortion correction from a distorted source image to a distortion corrected target image includes dividing the target image into a plurality of target tiles. The source image is divided into source tiles. Each source tile corresponds to a target tile according to a first mapping. The source tiles are processed to produce a source tile index until all the source tiles in the source image have been assigned a source tile index value in an ascending order. At least one y coordinate value of a first target tile is higher than a y coordinate value of a second target tile, wherein the first target tile corresponds to a source tile that appears earlier in the ascending order of the source tile index than a corresponding source tile of the second target tile. Distortion correction of the source image is performed by mapping each source tile to its corresponding target tile.

  • Publication number: 20240212314
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, splitting an image that is obtained from a video adaptor into a plurality of segments, for each segment of the plurality of segments, generating a value that is representative of data of the segment, the value resulting in no loss in an accuracy of the data, storing a first part of the value in a first portion of a memory, and storing a second part of the value in a second portion of the memory, the second part being different from the first part. Other embodiments are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11295151
    Abstract: Embodiments provide line-based feature generation for vision-based driver assistance systems and methods. For one embodiment, a feature generator includes a circular buffer and a processor coupled to an image sensor. The circular buffer receives image data from the image sensor and stores N lines at a time of an image frame captured by the image sensor. The N lines of the image frame are less than all of the lines for the image frame. The processor receives the N lines from the circular buffer and stores one or more features generated from the N lines in a memory. Iterative blocks of N lines of image data are processed to complete processing of the full image frame, and multiple frames can be processed. The generated features are analyzed by a vision processor to identify, classify, and track objects for vision-based driver assistance and related vision-based assistance actions.

  • Patent number: 10999497
    Abstract: A system-on-chip (SoC) includes first and second processing circuits and a data exchange circuit such that the first processing circuit is configured to process image lines based on corresponding sets of processing attributes. The first processing circuit is further configured to continuously receive and process the image lines one after the other to generate corresponding output data, and the second processing circuit is configured to continuously receive by way of the data exchange circuit, the generated output data for processing the generated output data. The data exchange circuit is thus configured to control data flow between the first processing circuit and the second processing circuit such that the first processing circuit and the second processing circuit parallelly process corresponding data associated with same or different image lines.

  • Patent number: 10922781
    Abstract: A system for processing multiple images includes an access serializer, trigger controllers, a first-in-first-out (FIFO) memory, and an image signal processing (ISP) pipeline circuit. The access serializer serializes access requests that are associated with processing of input image lines of the images. The trigger controllers decode corresponding serialized access requests to generate trigger identifiers (IDs), respectively. The FIFO memory receives a corresponding trigger ID from each trigger controller and provides the trigger IDs to the ISP pipeline circuit based on an order of reception of the trigger IDs. The ISP pipeline circuit receives the input image lines associated with the trigger IDs, and based on a corresponding set of configuration parameters associated with the input image lines, processes the input image lines in an order of reception of the trigger IDs, to generate processed image lines, respectively.
