  • Publication number: 20220210362
    Abstract: This disclosure describes devices, systems, and methods that relate to obtaining image frames with variable resolutions in synchronization with a clock source. An example device may include an image sensor, a clock input, and a controller. The controller includes at least one processor and a memory. The at least one processor is operable to execute program instructions stored in the memory so as to carry out operations. The operations include receiving, by the clock input, a clock signal. The clock signal is a periodic signal defining at least one scan interval. The operations also include during the scan interval, causing the image sensor to capture a full resolution image frame. The operations yet further include during the scan interval, causing the image sensor to capture at least one reduced resolution image frame.

  • Publication number: 20220207755
    Abstract: Described examples relate to an apparatus comprising a memory for storing a sequence of image frames and at least one processor. The at least one processor may be configured to receive a first image frame of a sequence of image frames from an image capture device and select a first portion of a first image frame. The at least one processor may also be configured to obtain alignment information and determine a first portion and a second portion of a second image frame based on the alignment information. Further, the at least one processor may be configured to determine a bounding region within the second image frame and fetch image data corresponding to the bounding region of the second image frame from memory. In some examples, the first image frame may comprise a base image and the second image frame may comprise an alternative image frame. Further, the first image frame may comprise any one of the image frames of the sequence of image frames.

  • Patent number: 9465629
    Abstract: A computer system may generate a plurality of component kernels, which are to be linked during the runtime. The system may determine whether a combined kernel K is present in response to receiving a first request to retrieve the combined kernel K. The system may compose the combined kernel K from the selected component kernels of the plurality of component kernels during the runtime if the combined kernel is not already present.

  • Patent number: 7728746
    Abstract: Signal transition feature based coding for serial link is described herein. According to one embodiment, in response to a data stream transmitted onto a serial communication link, one or more bits of the data stream are encoded according to bit order determined based on a frequency of signal transitions of the data stream. As a result, a sequence of encoded data stream having a lower number of bit transitions with respect to the frequency of signal transitions of the data stream prior to the encoding is generated. Thereafter, the encoded data sequence is transmitted onto the serial communication link. Other methods and apparatuses are also described.

  • Publication number: 20090102850
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for error diffusion for display frame buffer power saving are described herein. According to one embodiment, pixels of a color plane of image data are stored in a first segment and a second segment of a frame buffer during a normal power state. During a low power state, an error diffusion operation is performed on the pixels to reduce a color depth of the pixels. Thereafter, at least a portion of the pixels with reduced color depth is stored in the first segment of the frame buffer during the low power state without accessing the second segment of the frame buffer. Other methods and apparatuses are also described.
