    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for tile-based stitching and encoding of images are disclosed. An example apparatus to stitch and encode images includes tile generation circuitry to generate first input tiles from a first image and second input tiles from a second image, the first image from a first camera and the second image from a second camera. The example apparatus also includes stitching circuitry to process the first input tiles and the second input tiles to convert the first input tiles into corresponding first stitched tiles and to convert the second input tiles into corresponding second stitched tiles. The example apparatus further includes encoding circuitry to encode the first stitched tiles and the second stitched tiles in parallel, wherein the tile generation circuitry is to generate the first input tiles and the second input tiles based on division information associated with the encoding circuitry.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method for multi-adapter and/or multi-pass encoding on dual graphics processors. For example, one embodiment of a processor comprises: a central processor integrated on a first die, the central processor comprising a plurality of cores to execute instructions and process data; an first graphics processor integrated on the first die, the first graphics processor comprising media processing circuitry to perform one or more preliminary lookahead operations on video content to generate lookahead statistics; an interconnect to couple the first graphics processor to a lookahead buffer, the first graphics processor to transmit the lookahead statistics over the interconnect to the lookahead buffer; wherein the lookahead statistics are to be used by a second graphics processor to encode the video content to generate encoded video.

    Abstract: Techniques are provided for enhancement of edges in image frames using depth information. A methodology implementing the techniques according to an embodiment includes receiving a color image frame and a depth map frame. The method also includes generating a sharpness mask to control the application of image sharpening to the color pixels. The sharpness mask is based on the value of depth pixels corresponding to the color pixels; and on properties of the depth camera that generated the color image frame, including depth of field, focal distance, and hyperfocal distance. The method further includes calculating sharpness strength for the color pixels. The sharpness strength is proportional to the value of the depth pixel corresponding to the color pixel. The method further includes applying a sharpening filter to the color image frame to enhance edge image features. The sharpening filter is based on the sharpness mask and the sharpness strength.
