An image encoding method with rate control includes at least the following steps: defining a plurality of candidate bit budgets corresponding to different pre-defined maximum encoded bit lengths for one coding unit respectively; when encoding pixel data of a plurality of pixels within a current coding unit of an access unit of a frame, determining a target bit budget selected from the candidate bit budgets and allocating the target bit budget to the current coding unit; and outputting encoded pixel data of the pixels within the current coding unit that is generated from the encoder, wherein a bit length of the encoded pixel data is smaller than or equal to the target bit budget.
Abstract:
A method for generating a decoded value from a codeword which is binarized utilizing a concatenated unary/k-th order Exp-Golomb code includes: identifying a first portion of the codeword, a second portion of the codeword and a third portion of the codeword; generating an offset according to the second portion; decoding the third portion to generate an index value; and generating the decoded value by adding the offset and the index value.
Abstract:
A data processing apparatus has a compressor and an output interface. The compressor generates a compressed multimedia data by compressing a multimedia data according to a compression algorithm. The output interface records indication information in an output bitstream, and outputs the output bitstream via a camera interface, wherein the output bitstream is derived from the compressed multimedia data, and the indication information is set in response to the compression algorithm employed by the compressor. Another data processing apparatus has a de-compressor and an input interface. The de-compressor de-compresses a compressed multimedia data derived from an input bitstream. The input interface receives the input bitstream via a camera interface, parses indication information included in the input bitstream, and configures the de-compressor to employ a de-compression algorithm as indicated by the indication information.
Abstract:
A data processing apparatus has a compressor and an output interface. The compressor receives an input multimedia data, and generates an output multimedia data according to the input multimedia data. The output interface packs the output multimedia data into an output bitstream, and outputs the output bitstream via a camera interface. The compressor adaptively adjusts a compression algorithm applied to the input multimedia data according to at least one sensor input signal. For example, the at least one sensor input signal is generated from at least one of an ambient light sensor, a proximity sensor, a thermal sensor, an accelerometer, a gyroscope, and a receiver of a global navigation satellite system. Alternatively, the compressor may be configured to adaptively adjust the compression algorithm applied to the input multimedia data according to a sensor configuration of a camera sensor or a display configuration of a display apparatus.

Abstract:
An image capture device has an image capture module, a sensor and a controller. The sensor senses an object to generate a sensing result. The controller checks the sensing result to determine if a specific action associated with the image capture module is about to be triggered, and controls the image capture module to start the specific action in advance when determining that the specific action is about to be triggered.
