    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatus for graphics processing. The apparatus can determine a motion estimation priority for one or more regions in a frame. In some aspects, each of the one or more regions can include a group of pixels. Additionally, the apparatus can adjust a quality of a motion estimation procedure for each group of pixels based on the motion estimation priority of the region including the group of pixels. The apparatus can also perform the motion estimation procedure for each of the at least one group of pixels to generate a motion vector for the at least one group of pixels based on the adjusted quality of the motion estimation procedure.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and devices for graphics processing including an apparatus, e.g., a GPU. The apparatus may process at least one frame including frame content associated with a grid including a plurality of grid sections, each of a plurality of portions of the frame content being aligned with at least a portion of at least one of the plurality of grid sections. The apparatus may also shift the frame content with respect to the grid, such that at least one portion of the plurality of portions of the frame content is aligned with at least a portion of at least one distinct grid section of the plurality of grid sections. Additionally, the apparatus may store the shifted frame content including the at least one portion of the frame content that is aligned with at least a portion of the at least one distinct grid section.

    Abstract: A method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be configured to receive information indicative of a fovea region. The apparatus may be configured to identify, based on the information indicative of the fovea region, high priority bins and low priority bins. The apparatus may be configured to determine a rendering time allotment for the frame. The apparatus may be configured to determine that the rendering time allotment for the frame will be exceeded, based on an amount of time used to render the high priority bins and the low priority bins. The apparatus may be configured to render, based on the determination that the rendering time allotment for the frame will be exceeded, at least one of the low priority bins at a first quality instead of a second quality.

    Abstract: A frame processor may generate a mask based on one or more static regions of a first set of frames of a plurality of previous frame and adjust the mask to at least one of determine alpha data or conceal distorted content associated with the one or more static regions of the first set of frames. The distorted content may be caused by extrapolation of a frame from a second set of frames of the plurality of previous frames. The frame processor may generate a composite frame based on application of at least one of the mask or the alpha data to a previous frame of the plurality of frames, and application of the previous frame based on the at least one of the mask or the alpha data to the frame extrapolated from the second set of frames of the plurality of previous frames.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and devices for image or frame processing including an apparatus, e.g., a GPU. In some aspects, the apparatus may identify a discontinuity between at least one first region of a first frame and at least one second region of a second frame, the at least one first region corresponding to the at least one second region. The apparatus may also determine whether the discontinuity between the at least one first region and the at least one second region is greater than or equal to a motion estimation threshold. The apparatus may also skip a motion estimation for the at least one first region and the at least one second region when the discontinuity between the at least one first region and the at least one second region is greater than or equal to the motion estimation threshold.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and devices for motion estimation which may include a GPU. In one aspect, the GPU may generate at least one first motion vector in a first subset of a frame, the first motion vector providing a first motion estimation for image data in the first subset of the frame. The GPU may also perturb the image data. Also, the GPU may generate at least one second motion vector based on the perturbed image data, the second motion vector providing a second motion estimation for the image data. Moreover, the GPU may compare the first motion vector and the second motion vector. Further, the GPU may determine at least one third motion vector for the motion estimation of the image data based on the comparison between the first motion vector and the second motion vector.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus, and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for mesh stitching for motion estimation and depth from stereo. A processor may obtain an indication of a mesh associated with a set of motion vectors for a first frame and a second frame in a plurality of frames. The processor may detect a set of regions in the mesh including a set of motion disparity values associated with the set of motion vectors, where each motion disparity value in the set of motion disparity values is less than a coherency threshold. The processor may calculate an adjustment to the mesh based on the region. The processor may output an indication of the adjustment to the mesh.
