Abstract:
An exemplary image processing method includes the following steps: receiving an image input composed of at least one source image; receiving algorithm selection information corresponding to each source image; checking corresponding algorithm selection information of each source image to determine a selected image processing algorithm from a plurality of different image processing algorithms; and performing an object oriented image processing operation upon the source image based on the selected image processing algorithm. The algorithm selection information indicates an image quality of each source image and is generated from one of an auxiliary sensor, an image processing module of an image capture apparatus, a processing circuit being one of a video decoder, a frame rate converter, and an audio/video synchronization (AV-Sync) module, or is a user-defined mode setting.
Abstract:
A projection-based frame is generated according to an omnidirectional video frame and an octahedron projection layout. The projection-based frame has a 360-degree image content represented by triangular projection faces assembled in the octahedron projection layout. A 360-degree image content of a viewing sphere is mapped onto the triangular projection faces via an octahedron projection of the viewing sphere. One side of a first triangular projection face has contact with one side of a second triangular projection face, one side of a third triangular projection face has contact with another side of the second triangular projection face. One image content continuity boundary exists between one side of the first triangular projection face and one side of the second triangular projection face, and another image content continuity boundary exists between one side of the third triangular projection face and another side of the second triangular projection face.

Abstract:
A data processing apparatus has a compression circuit and an output interface. The compression circuit has a pre-processor and a compressor. The pre-processor receives a first input display data in a first color domain, and performs a color format conversion upon the first input display data to generate a second input display data in a second color domain, wherein the second color domain is different from the first color domain. The compressor performs compression in the second color domain, wherein the compressor is arranged to compress the second input display data into a compressed display data in the second color domain. The output interface packs an output display data derived from the compressed display data into an output bitstream, and outputs the output bitstream via a display interface.
Abstract:
A decoding apparatus has an arithmetic decoder and a controller. A counter logic of the controller generates a first statistics result according to a first syntax element decoding result. A control logic of the controller instructs the arithmetic decoder to perform a first scan procedure at least once to generate the first syntax element decoding result of transform coefficients of a transform coefficient block, controls a repetition number of a second scan procedure based at least partly on the first statistics result, and instructs the arithmetic decoder to perform the second scan procedure at least once to generate a second syntax element decoding result of the transform coefficients. The first scan procedure decodes a first coded syntax element of one transform coefficient when performed by the arithmetic decoder once. The second scan procedure decodes a second coded syntax element of one transform coefficient when performed by the arithmetic decoder once.
Abstract:
Method and system of video decoding incorporating frame compression to reduce frame buffer size are disclosed. The method adjusts parameters of the frame compression according to decoder system information or syntax element in the video bitstream. The decoder system information may be selected from a group consisting of system status, system parameter and a combination of system status and system parameter. The decoder system information may include system bandwidth, frame buffer size, frame buffer status, system power consumption, and system processing load. The syntax element comprises reference frame indicator, initial picture QP (quantization parameter), picture type, and picture size. The adaptive frame compression may be applied to adjust compression ratio. Furthermore, the adaptive frame compression may be applied to a decoder for a scalable video coding system or a multi-layer video coding system.
Abstract:
A data processing apparatus includes a compressor and an output interface. The compressor generates a compressed display data by compressing a display data according to a compression algorithm. The output interface appends first indication information in a first output bitstream, appends second indication information in a second output bitstream, and outputs the first output bitstream and the second output bitstream via a display interface. The first output bitstream is derived from the compressed display data. The first indication information is set in response to the compression algorithm employed by the compressor. The first indication information is different from the second indication information. The display interface is arranged for coupling to a driver circuit.

Abstract:
A data processing system has a first data processing apparatus and a second data processing apparatus. The first data processing apparatus has at least a camera sensor, a compressor and an output interface. The camera sensor generates first input multimedia data. The compressor compresses the first input multimedia data into compressed multimedia data. The output interface packs compressed multimedia data into a bitstream. The second data processing apparatus has at least an input interface, a data access circuit, and a de-compressor. The input interface un-packs the bitstream into second input multimedia data. The data access circuit stores second input multimedia data into a multimedia buffer and reads buffered multimedia data from the multimedia buffer. The de-compressor de-compresses buffered multimedia data. Alternatively, one of the compressor and the decompressor may be implemented in a third data processing apparatus coupled between the first data processing apparatus and the second data processing apparatus.
