Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for determining an operation to be performed with a direct memory access (DMA) request. An inspection unit (105) is coupled between an input-output memory management unit (IOMMU) (120) and an endpoint device (118). The inspection unit (105) stores a registry (330) comprising entries (332) which each correspond to a respective address, and a respective one or more resources of the endpoint device (118). A given entry (332) of the registry (330) is created based on a message from the IOM MU (120) which indicates the successful completion of an address translation to facilitate a DMA request. The endpoint device (118) performs a search, based on a DMA request, to determine if any registry (330) entry (332) indicates a combination of an address and an endpoint resource, where said combination matches a corresponding combination indicated by the DMA request. Communication of the DMA request to the IOMMU (120) is contingent on a result of the search.

Abstract: An initial candidate foreground region is identified within an infrared image that includes pixels exhibiting infrared intensity values within a pre-defined range. A depth of surfaces within the initial candidate foreground region is estimated based on infrared intensity values the pixels of the initial candidate foreground region. The initial candidate foreground region is expanded to an expanded candidate foreground region based on a body-model estimate. The body model estimate is seeded with one or more of the initial candidate foreground region, the depth of surfaces, and/or a face of a human subject identified by facial recognition. Each pixel of the infrared image is identified as either a foreground pixel or a background pixel based on a distance of that pixel relative to the expanded candidate foreground region. Pixels identified as background pixels may be modified within a corresponding visible light image.
