Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the use of inverse dithering of color or grey-scale images. In certain embodiments, an image area may be selected having a center pixel. A predictive value of the image area may be found by averaging the values of the pixels in the image area. This predictive value may be compared to the center pixel's real value. A difference between the real value and the predictive value may then be found and used to diffuse the energy removed from the center pixel to neighboring pixels. By inverse dithering images using an energy diffusion approach, the images may be presented as having a more visually appealing display, even in situations where the images may undergo further edge enhancements.

Abstract: A display pipe unit for processing pixels of video and/or image frames may be injected with dither-noise during processing of the pixels. A random noise generator implemented using Linear Feedback Shift Registers (LFSRs) produces pseudo-random numbers that are injected into the display pipe as dither-noise. Typically, such LFSRs shift freely during operation and the values of the LFSRs are used as needed. By shifting the LFSRs when the values are used to inject noise into newly received data, and not shifting the LFSRs when no new data is received, variations in the delays of receiving the data do not affect the pattern of noise applied to the frames. Therefore, dither-noise can be deterministically injected into the display pipe during testing/debug operation. By updating the LFSRs when new pixel data is available from the host interface instead of updating the LFSRs every cycle, the same dither-noise can be injected for the same received data.
