Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed herein may include or use a video encoder and an inference sub-system. The inference sub-system may infer a quantization matrix (QM) level from video or frame statistics within features of a media stream. The video encoder may use the QM level to apply a QM for the video encoder. The QM may be used in the video encoder for encoding the media stream.

Abstract: Systems and methods herein are for distributed image processing by at least a data processing unit (DPU) and using at least a graphics processing unit (GPU) in possible association with a field programmable gate array (FPGA). For example, the FPGA may be used to perform physical layer processing for images captured by the image sensor or from a simulation and can provide a media stream for the DPU and the DPU can provide payload of only image sections from the images in a media stream for the GPU to perform content layer processing for only the image sections of the images.

Abstract: Systems and methods herein are for image-based defect detection for items moving through a manufacturing area. A data processing unit (DPU) is in communication with multiple graphics processing units (GPUs) and can receive images captured of an item, as well as receive an indication of image sections of the images associated with a characteristic of a manufacturing process of the item. The DPU can provide the image sections to the GPUs for image processing to determine a value associated with the characteristic of the manufacturing process of the item. The provision of the image sections may be based at least in part on the individual ones of the GPUs being associated with a feature of the item, and the GPUs can perform different image processing based at least in part on different features of the items.
