Abstract: An apparatus and method for geometrically correcting an arbitrary shaped input frame and generating an undistorted output frame. The method includes capturing arbitrary shaped input images with multiple optical devices and processing the images, identifying redundant blocks and valid blocks in each of the images, allocating an output frame with an output frame size and dividing the output frame into regions shaped as a rectangle, programming the apparatus and disabling processing for invalid blocks in each of the regions, fetching data corresponding to each of the valid blocks and storing in an internal memory, interpolating data for each of the regions with stitching and composing the valid blocks for the output frame and displaying the output frame on a display module.

Abstract: A method for geometrically correcting a distorted input frame and generating an undistorted output frame includes capturing and storing an input frame in an external memory, allocating an output frame with an output frame size and dividing the output frame into output blocks, computing a size of the input blocks in the input image corresponding to each output blocks, checking if the size of the input blocks is less than the size of the internal memory and if not dividing until the required input block size of divided sub blocks is less than the size of the internal memory, programming an apparatus with input parameters, fetching the input blocks into an internal memory, processing each of the divided sub blocks sequentially and processing the next output block in step until all the output blocks are processed; and composing the output frame for each of the blocks in the output frame.

Abstract: A de-blocking filter includes a reconstructed memory that is configured to store reconstructed pixels corresponding to a current macroblock of a video image to be filtered. The current macroblock includes a set of sub-blocks, each sub-block having horizontal edges and vertical edges. An internal pixel buffer in the de-blocking filter is configured to store pixels corresponding to the set of sub-blocks from the reconstructed memory, and to store partially filtered pixels corresponding to a set of partially filtered macroblocks. An edge order controller in the de-blocking filter is configured to load the pixels corresponding to the set of sub-blocks into a filter engine from the internal pixel buffer, to filter the set of sub-blocks, such that, at least one horizontal edge is filtered before filtering all vertical edges of the set of sub-blocks.

Abstract: A method of de-blocking filtering a processed video is provided. The processed video includes a plurality of blocks and each block includes a plurality of sub-blocks. A current block of the plurality of blocks includes vertical edges and horizontal edges. The processed video further includes a set of control parameters and reconstructed pixels corresponding to the current block. A boundary strength index is estimated at the vertical edges and at the horizontal edges of the current block. The set of control parameters, the reconstructed pixels corresponding to the current block and partially filtered pixels corresponding to a set of adjacent sub-blocks are loaded. The vertical edges and the horizontal edges of the current block are filtered based on the boundary strength index and the set of control parameters such that a vertical edge of the current block is filtered before filtering at least one horizontal edge of the current block.

Abstract: A hardware thread scheduler (HTS) is provided for a multiprocessor system. The HTS is configured to schedule processing of multiple threads of execution by resolving data dependencies between producer modules and consumer modules for each thread. Pattern adaptors may be provided in the scheduler that allows mixing of multiple data patterns across blocks of data. Transaction aggregators may be provided that allow re-using the same image data by multiple threads of execution while the image date remains in a given data buffer. Bandwidth control may be provided using programmable delays on initiation of thread execution. Failure and hang detection may be provided using multiple watchdog timers.
