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 video hardware engine which support dynamic frame padding is disclosed. The video hardware engine includes an external memory. The external memory stores a reference frame. The reference frame includes a plurality of reference pixels. A motion estimation (ME) engine receives a current LCU (largest coding unit), and defines a search area around the current LCU for motion estimation. The ME engine receives a set of reference pixels corresponding to the current LCU. The set of reference pixels of the plurality of reference pixels are received from the external memory. The ME engine pads a set of duplicate pixels along an edge of the reference frame when a part area of the search area is outside the reference frame.

Abstract: A processing accelerator includes a shared memory, and a stream accelerator, a memory-to-memory accelerator, and a common DMA controller coupled to the shared memory. The stream accelerator is configured to process a real-time data stream, and to store stream accelerator output data generated by processing the real-time data stream in the shared memory. The memory-to-memory accelerator is configured to retrieve input data from the shared memory, to process the input data, and to store, in the shared memory, memory-to-memory accelerator output data generated by processing the input data. The common DMA controller is configured to retrieve stream accelerator output data from the shared memory and transfer the stream accelerator output data to memory external to the processing accelerator; and to retrieve the memory-to-memory accelerator output data from the shared memory and transfer the memory-to-memory accelerator output data to memory external to the processing accelerator.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to extend local buffer of a hardware accelerator are disclosed herein. In some examples, an apparatus, including a local memory, a first hardware accelerator (HWA), a second HWA, the second HWA and the first HWA connected in a flexible data pipeline, and a spare scheduler to manage, in response to the spare scheduler inserted in the flexible data pipeline, data movement between the first HWA and the second HWA through the local memory and a memory. Local buffer extension may be performed by software to control data movement between local memory and other system memory. The other system memory may be on-chip memory and/or external memory. The HWA sub-system includes a set of spare schedulers to manage the data movement. Data aggregation may be performed in the other system memory. Additionally, the other system memory may be utilized for conversion between data line and data block.

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.
