Publication number: 20210281851Abstract: Systems and methods may provide for occlusion detection in frame rate conversion. Detecting the occlusion allows frame rate conversion to be more accurately performed. In some embodiments, one or more stereoscopic depth cameras may be used to determine the depth of a moving object to more accurately determine the occlusion. In some embodiments, the compression ratio may be adjusted to balance the frame rate and power to help ensure compliance with a power budget. In at least some embodiments, the motion of a camera may be passed from a 3D render pipe to an encoder to avoid motion calculation and thereby saving power.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 21, 2021Publication date: September 9, 2021Applicant: Intel CoporationInventors: Jong Dae Oh, Abhishek R.
