    Abstract: Disclosed herein are improvements to pixel pattern conversion, upsampling, and IR decontamination processes. An example includes an image processing pipeline comprising an upstream component, a pattern conversion component downstream with respect to the upstream component in the image processing pipeline, and a downstream component relative to the pattern conversion component. The pattern conversion component is configured to obtain RGB-IR pixel data produced by the upstream component of the image processing pipeline and convert the RGB-IR pixel data into RGB pixel data and IR pixel data using a conversion engine. The conversion engine is configured to demosaic the RGB-IR pixel into the RGB pixel data and the IR pixel data, remosaic the RGB pixel data into an RGB pattern and the IR pixel data into an IR pattern and remove IR contamination from the RGB pixel data of the RGB pattern for use by the downstream component.

    Abstract: In an example, a method includes receiving image data of an input image having lines therein. The method also includes storing a first portion of the image data in a circular buffer in a first memory, wherein the first portion begins at a circular buffer start line in the input image and ends at a circular buffer end line in the input image. The method includes storing a second portion of the image data in a linear buffer in a second memory, where the second portion is non-overlapping with the first portion. The method includes processing the second portion of the image data to produce a first block of an output image. The method includes processing the first portion of the image data to produce a second block of the output image.

    Abstract: Various embodiments disclosed herein relate to hardware enabled pipeline control. In a hardware acceleration system, pipelines are configured to include a hardware enable flag that allows hardware initiation of the pipeline based on triggering of a configurable event. The pipeline can be configured to set the event that triggers the initiation of the pipeline. For example, the end of pipeline of a first pipeline may trigger the initiation of a second pipeline. Accordingly, pipelines that are configured to allow hardware enable based on a specifically configured event are not subject to the extra processing required to initiate the pipeline via software in external memory and triggered by an external controller.
