Abstract:
Methods and systems to improve a visual perception of dark scenes in video. An example device includes one or more processors to receive a frame of video segmented into a plurality of sub-regions. A local luminance histogram is generated for each sub-region. A global luminance histogram is generated for the entire frame of video and a global tone mapping curve is generated based on the global luminance histogram. A tone mapping LUT is generated for each sub-region based on the global tone mapping curve and the corresponding local luminance histogram for the sub-region. The frame of video is then modified using the tone mapping LUTs generated for each sub-region and sent to an output device.
Abstract:
Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for technology to improve an appearance of objects that enter a viewable area of a 360-degree video. The technology may include a head mounted display (HMD), a viewport comprising a viewable area within the HMD, and a memory to store objects of interest not currently in the viewable area.
Abstract:
Often when there is a glare on a display screen the user may be able to mitigate the glare by tilting or otherwise moving the screen or changing their viewing position. However, when driving a car there are limited options for overcoming glares on the dashboard, especially when you are driving for a long distance in the same direction. Embodiments are directed to eliminating such glare. Other embodiments are related to mixed reality (MR) and filling in occluded areas.

Abstract:
Techniques related to video pre-processing for video coding are discussed. Such video pre-processing techniques may include applying adaptive temporal and spatial filtering to pixel values of video frames of input video to generate pre-processed video such that the adaptive temporal and spatial filtering includes blending spatial and temporal filtering of the individual pixel value when the block of pixels is a non-motion block and spatial-only filtering the individual pixel value when the block of pixels is a motion block.
Abstract:
Systems, apparatuses and methods may include technology to bundle on demand video frames together in clusters having similar encode times based on predicted performance determined by weighted heuristics.
Abstract:
A system of reducing power consumed by a large screen display panel may comprise a display divided into a plurality of segments. A gaze tracker identifies a gaze region where a viewer(s) is looking to increase a refresh rate for segments identified in the gaze region with relation to segments outside of the gaze region. The shading rate of segments outside of the gaze region may also be lowered to save even more power.
