  • Processing images using hybrid infinite impulse response (TTR) and finite impulse response (FIR) convolution block
    Patent number: 11302035
    Abstract: An example apparatus for processing images includes a hybrid infinite impulse response-finite impulse response (IIR-FIR) convolution block to receive an image and generate processed image information. The hybrid IIR-FIR convolution block includes a vertical infinite impulse response (IIR) component to approximate a vertical convolution when processing the image.

  • Local tone mapping to reduce bit depth of input images to high-level computer vision tasks
    Patent number: 10885384
    Abstract: Techniques related to computer vision tasks are discussed. Such techniques include applying a pretrained non-linear transform and pretrained details boosting factor to generate an enhanced image from an input image and reducing the bit depth of the enhanced image prior to applying a pretrained computer vision network to perform the computer vision task.

  • Automatic tuning of image signal processors using reference images in image processing environments
    Patent number: 10755425
    Abstract: A mechanism is described for facilitating automatic tuning of image signal processors using reference images in image processing environments, according to one embodiment. A method of embodiments, as described herein, includes one or more processors to: receive images associated with one or more scenes captured by one or more cameras; access tuning parameters associated with functionalities within an image signal processor (ISP) pipeline; generate reference images based on the tuning parameters, wherein a reference image is associated with an image for each functionality within the ISP pipeline; and automatically tune the ISP pipeline based on selection of one or more of the reference images for one or more of the images for one or more of the functionalities.
