  • Publication number: 20240428368
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for image signal processing that support efficient cache usage in an image processing system. In a first aspect, a method of image processing includes storing, by an image processor, a first portion of a first stripe of a first frame in a cache, the first portion of the first stripe overlapping a second portion of a second stripe of the first frame, reading, by the image processor, a third portion of the second stripe from a memory, reading, by the image processor, the first portion of the first stripe from the cache, and processing, by the image processor, the second stripe using the first portion of the first stripe and the third portion of the second stripe. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

  • Patent number: 12154278
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for conserving resources when performing motion estimation. An example process can include determining, based on an input image and a reference image, motion vectors identifying motion between the input image and the reference image; determining whether the motion indicated by the motion vectors is below a first threshold; based on a determination that the motion indicated by the motion vectors is below the first threshold, refraining from determining a local motion between the input image and the reference image; determining a transform matrix based on the motion vectors and without using a local motion between the input image and the reference image; and adjusting the input image based on the transform matrix.

  • Publication number: 20240193789
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for image signal processing that support improved correction of motion artifacts within image frames. In a first aspect, a method of image processing includes receiving a first image frame and a second image frame, determining a motion map indicating motion of objects within the first and second image frames. Additionally, motion hotspots may be identified within the second image frame based on the motion map. A temporal filtering process may be applied to portions of the second image frame located within motion hotspots to generate a corrected image frame. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

  • Publication number: 20230216999
    Abstract: An imaging system receives depth data (corresponding to an environment) from a depth sensor and first image data (a depiction of the environment) from an image sensor. The imaging system generates, based on the depth data, first motion vectors corresponding to a change in perspective of the depiction of the environment in the first image data. The imaging system generates, using grid inversion based on the first motion vectors, second motion vectors that indicate respective distances moved by respective pixels of the depiction of the environment in the first image data for the change in perspective. The imaging system generates second image data by modifying the first image data according to the second motion vectors. The second image data includes a second depiction of the environment from a different perspective than the first image data. Some image reprojection applications (e.g., frame interpolation) can be performed without the depth data.

  • Patent number: 10165200
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for processing a plurality of captured image frames. An example method may include receiving a first image frame and a second image frame from a camera sensor. The example method may also include determining a first portion of the second image frame with a temporal difference from a corresponding first portion of the first image frame, wherein a second portion of the second image frame is without a temporal difference from a corresponding second portion of the first image frame. The example method may also include processing the second image frame, including processing the first portion of the second image frame, and preventing processing the second portion of the second image frame.
