    Abstract: An apparatus is described. The apparatus includes a smart image sensor having a memory and a processor that are locally integrated with an image sensor. The memory is to store first program code to be executed by the processor. The memory is coupled to the image sensor and the processor. The memory is to store second program code to be executed by the processor. The first program code is to cause the smart image sensor to perform an analysis on one or more images captured by the image sensor. The analysis identifies a region of interest within the one or more images with machine learning from previously captured images. The second program code is to cause the smart image sensor to change an image sensing and/or optical parameter in response to the analysis of the one or more images performed by the execution of the first program code. Alternatively or in combination, the memory is to store third program code to be executed by the processor and fourth program code to be executed by the processor. The third program code is to store multiple images captured by the image sensor in the memory. The fourth program code is to merge the multiple images in the memory.

    Abstract: An immersive video teleconferencing system may include a transparent display and at least one image sensor operably coupled to the transparent display. The at least one image sensor may be multiple cameras included on a rear side of the transparent display, or a depth camera operably coupled to the transparent display. Depth data may be extracted from the images collected by the at least one image sensor, and an image of a predetermined subject may be segmented from a background of the collected images based on the depth data. The image of the segmented predetermined subject may also be scaled based on the depth data. The image of the scaled segmented predetermined subject may be transmitted to a remote transparent display at a remote location, and displayed on the remote transparent display such that a background surrounding the displayed image of the remote location is visible through the transparent display, so that the predetermined subject appears to be physically located at the remote location.

    Abstract: Provided are methods and systems for memory decompression using a hardware decompressor that minimizes or eliminates the involvement of software. Custom decompression hardware is added to the memory subsystem, where the decompression hardware handles read accesses caused by, for example, cache misses or requests from devices to compressed memory blocks, by reading a compressed block, decompressing it into an internal buffer, and returning the requested portion of the block. The custom hardware is designed to determine if the block is compressed, and determine the parameters of compression, by checking unused high bits of the physical address of the access. This allows compression to be implemented without additional metadata, because the necessary metadata can be stored in unused bits in the existing page table structures.
