Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to QCFA deblurring. An example method includes obtaining an image to be processed and determining an average of pixel values between a first one or more pixels and a second one or more pixels of the image. The second one or more pixels neighbor the first one or more pixels. The method also includes determining a difference between pixel values of the first one or more pixels and the second one or more pixels, generating one or more weights based on the average and the difference, and combining the average and the difference based on the one or more weights to generate a deblurred pixel value. A processed image includes one or more deblurred pixel values.

Abstract: A method of a graphics-processing unit (GPU) for tile-based rendering of a display area and a graphics-processing apparatus are provided. The method includes the steps of computing vertex positions of a plurality of vertexes, wherein the first vertex corresponds to a first thread and the second vertex corresponds to a second thread; determining whether a thread merge condition is satisfied; merging the first thread and the second thread to a thread group when determining that the thread merge condition is satisfied; computing vertex varyings of the plurality of vertexes, wherein when the first thread and the second thread are merged to the thread group, a varying of the first vertex and a varying of the second vertex are computed with respect to a program counter.
