  • Patent number: 11270416
    Abstract: A geometric correction system and method for performing geometric correction of a distorted image in an input frame to provide a corrected image in an output frame including a local memory, geometric correction circuitry, a tile reader, and a descriptor memory storing multiple tile descriptors. The tile reader retrieves distorted tile data from the input frame into the local memory for one corrected tile group at a time according to a corresponding tile descriptor. Each tile descriptor identifies distorted tile data to retrieve and distorted tile data to skip from the local memory for the corresponding corrected tile group. The tile descriptor includes a descriptor for each row of local memory area identifying data to be read and data to be skipped for each row. Only the data needed for one or more target tiles is read to reduce memory transfer bandwidth overhead.

  • Publication number: 20220012854
    Abstract: A system and method for correcting image distortion is provided. The system and method remaps pixel position of distorted images using a combination of radial distortion correction and tangential distortion correction lookup tables consuming less physical memory. The solution conserves both memory and memory access bandwidth. The radial distortion correction lookup table is formed by taking advantage of radial distortion being generally symmetric about a determined optical center of the camera lens. This symmetry allows for use of a quarter LUT for correction in all quadrants of a distorted image. In addition, tangential distortion can be corrected in a symmetric manner that saves memory space as well.

  • Patent number: 11176906
    Abstract: A system includes a video generation circuit (102) to generate first graphics information, a display circuit (112) to display the graphics information, and a low voltage differential signaling (LVDS) (120) video interface to couple graphics information from the video generation circuit to the display circuit. The display circuit can determine that a first channel (204) of the LVDS video interface is corrupted. In response, the display circuit provides a remediation signal (205) to direct the video generation circuit (102) to operate in an alternative operating mode (208).

  • Publication number: 20210333334
    Abstract: A peak current detector is integrated into a power supply, such as a power management integrated circuit, to detect glitch attacks imposed on the power rails inside the power supply. Integrated circuitry being supplied by the power supply periodically checks the state of the power supply via a secure communication channel to obtain the detected peak current values, which allow the integrated circuitry to detect those attacks and react accordingly to any possible threats.

  • Publication number: 20210176455
    Abstract: A camera system and method are disclosed. The camera includes a memory, a camera, and a processor. The memory stores an adaptively subsampled look-up table. The adaptively subsampled look-up includes varying levels of subsampling across the adaptively subsampled look-up table. The camera captures an image, and the captured image is distorted based on varying distortions within an optical system of the camera. The processor receives the captured image from the camera, corrects the distorted captured image based on the adaptively subsampled look-up table to create a correct image, provides the corrected image, and executes a safety feature based on the corrected image.

    Abstract: A holder is provided for releasably securing a flat device, such as a tablet computer or a smartphone, to a component, in particular a component of a motor vehicle. The holder comprises a mounting which can be secured to the component and a holder frame which can be releasably secured to the mounting for receiving the device. The mounting comprises a carrier having first connection elements, and the holder frame has second connection elements at two opposite edges. The first and second connection elements are designed in a complementary manner with respect to each other such that the first and second connection elements interlock for the purpose of mutual fixing when the holder frame is inserted into the mounting such that the holder frame cannot be moved out of the mounting in the holder frame plane and/or perpendicularly to the holder frame plane.

  • Publication number: 20210132215
    Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed that for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems and methods. Front-end circuitry transmits radar signals, receives return radar signals, and outputs digital radar data. FFT circuits process the digital radar data without zero-padding to generate FFT data corresponding to oversampled pixel range values. A processor further processes the FFT data to generate radar pixel data representing a radar image. Further, the FFT circuits can interpolate the FFT data based upon pixel ranges using a streamlined range computation process. This process pre-computes x-axis components for pixels in common rows and y-axis components for pixels in common columns within the FFT data. For one embodiment, a navigation processor is coupled to a SAR system within a vehicle, receives the radar pixel data, and causes one or more actions to occur based upon the radar pixel data, such as an advanced driver assistance system function or an autonomous driving function.

  • Patent number: 10986309
    Abstract: A frame buffer having a size of one video frame of a video stream is provided. The video stream has a source frame rate. Image data units of the video stream are written consecutively to the frame buffer in accordance with a circular buffering scheme and in real-time response to the video stream. Image data units are read from the frame buffer in accordance with the circular buffering scheme with a frame rate that is twice the source frame rate so as to generate a target video stream having a frame rate which is twice the source frame rate. The frame buffer can be used in a real-time video system, for example in a vehicle.
