  • Patent number: 9549123
    Abstract: Techniques are described to combine image data from multiple images with different exposures into a relatively high dynamic range image. A first image of a scene may be generated with a first operational mode of an image processing system. A second image of the scene may be generated with a second different operational mode of the image processing system. The first image may be of a first spatial resolution, while the second image may be of a second spatial resolution. For example, the first spatial resolution may be higher than the second spatial resolution. The first image and the second image may be combined into an output image of the scene. The output image may be of a higher dynamic range than either of the first image and the second image and may be of a spatial resolution higher than the second spatial resolution.

  • Publication number: 20140307011
    Abstract: Techniques are provided to provide various pulse width modulation (PWM) schemes to embodiments of dual modulator display systems that may comprise a backlight of individually addressable and controllable light emitters. The backlight provides illumination to a light modulator for further conditioning of the light to be presented to a viewer. The backlight may be striped and each stripe is assigned a PWM scheme that effectively increases the bit depth of the controller for each stripe. The display system may allow a better matching of PWM periods to LCD frame rates to reduce visual artifacts. In another embodiment, the display system may detect a small bright feature to be rendered in the image data and, with a pre-assignment of light emitters to different partitions, the backlight controller may drive a subset of the light emitters according to the partitions.

  • Publication number: 20080309817
    Abstract: Techniques for performing combined scaling, filtering, and/or scan conversion are disclosed that reduce the amount of line buffer space required in the overall design of a video processing system. In particular, coefficients from all or a sub-set of the scaling, filtering (smoothing/sharpening), and scan conversion filters are combined into one representative coefficient that can be applied in a single generic algorithm. Thus, implementation costs are reduced, particularly in a system-on-chip implementations.

  • Patent number: 7376288
    Abstract: A demosaic system and method that supports multiple CFA pattern inputs is disclosed. The demosaic system is capable of handling both RGB Bayer input and CMYG input and perform demosaic operations on both inputs to recover full-color images from the raw input images. The system uses a variable number gradient demosiac process. The process uses a 5×5 neighborhood of sensor pixel data centered at the pixel under consideration. The process calculates a set of gradients corresponding to different directions within the neighborhood of the sensor pixel data. A threshold value is determined and a subset of gradients is selected from the set of gradients that fall below the threshold value. The system calculates estimation values for the missing color value and the actual measured center pixel color value obtained from the sensor data on directions that are within the subset of gradients below the threshold.

  • Patent number: 7259796
    Abstract: This invention relates generally to hardware for scaling and filtering video data and more specifically to algorithms and techniques for accelerating scaling and filtering operations on digital video data. The hardware is designed so that scaling and filtering operations are combined and performed simultaneously where possible to speed manipulation of the video data. Efficient design of the system allows memory buffers and logic gates to be shared or eliminated to reduce the size, cost and power requirements of the hardware implementation.

  • Publication number: 20060125835
    Abstract: A video processing system configured with DMA latency compensation is disclosed. This compensation helps minimize or otherwise mitigate shortages of data to the display, thereby improving the quality of displayed video. A relatively small line buffer is used to stage data for video processing. Should an underflow of data occur (where the buffer reading process is ahead of the buffer writing process), data is read from the previous line buffer. This not only prevents shortages of data to the display, but also provides data that is more likely to be relevant to the actual scene being displayed (as compared to random data).
