    Abstract: Systems and methods for utilizing on-camera sensor information to improve video and/or image encoding quality are discussed herein. Specifically, the systems and methods may utilize on-camera sensor information to efficiently determine whether to encode a particular frame within a set of frames as an intra frame. When captured on video, a particular arrangement of a group of pixels within a frame may comprise a visual representation of an object within the frame. When encoding video footage, motion information characterizing motion of an image capturing device over time may be used to predict displacement of an arrangement of group of pixels between frames. These predictions may be used to efficiently determine whether to encode a particular frame as an intra frame.

    Abstract: A camera system processes images based on image activity data. The camera system includes an image sensor, an image pipeline, an encoder and a memory. The image sensor converts light incident upon the image sensor into raw image data. The image pipeline converts raw image data into color-space image data and calculates activity variances of the color-space image data. The encoder can determine one or more of quantization levels, block type (Intra vs Inter), determining transform size and type, and determining GOP structure or reference frame spacing for the color-space image data based on the activity variances. The memory stores the color-space image data and the activity variances.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for image signal processing. For example, methods may include receiving, by an image signal processor, one or more input image signals from one or more image sensors; determining a mapping based on the input image signal(s), wherein the mapping includes records that associate image portions of an output image with corresponding image portions of the input image signal(s); sorting the records of the mapping according to an order of the corresponding image portions of the input image signal(s); applying, by the image signal processor, image processing to image portions of the input image signal(s) to determine image portions of one or more processed images in the order; and determining, by the image signal processor, the image portions of the output image based at least in part on the mapping and the corresponding image portions of the processed image(s) in the order.
