    Abstract: Digital mirror systems for vehicles and methods of operating the same are disclosed. An example vehicle control system includes: a driver monitoring system including a head position determiner to determine at least one of a location of a head, an orientation of the head, or an eye gaze point of the head; a digital mirror system including a region-of-interest (ROI) detector to identify an ROI based on the at least one of the location of the head, the orientation of the head, or the eye gaze point of the head, and a cropper to extract a portion of a first image corresponding to the ROI to form a second image, the first image representing an area exterior to the vehicle; and a display within an interior area of the vehicle to present the second image.

    Abstract: A system on a chip (SoC) includes a digital signal processor (DSP) and a graphics processing unit (GPU) coupled to the DSP. The DSP is configured to receive a stream of received depth measurements and generate a virtual bowl surface based on the stream of received depth measurements. The DSP is also configured to generate a bowl to physical camera mapping based on the virtual bowl surface. The GPU is configured to receive a first texture and receive a second texture. The GPU is also configured to perform physical camera to virtual camera transformation on the first texture and on the second texture, based on the bowl to physical camera mapping, to generate an output image.

    Abstract: A method of de-mosaicing pixel data from an image processor includes generating a pixel block that includes a plurality of image pixels. The method also includes determining a first image gradient between a first set of pixels of the pixel block and a second image gradient between a second set of pixels of the pixel block. The method also includes determining a first adaptive threshold value based on intensity of a third set of pixels of the pixel block. The pixels of the third set of pixels are adjacent to one another. The method also includes filtering the pixel block in a vertical, horizontal, or neutral direction based on the first and second image gradients and the first adaptive threshold value utilizing a plurality of FIR filters to generate a plurality of component images.

    Abstract: A reconfigurable image processing pipeline includes an image signal processor (ISP), a control processor, and a local memory. ISP processes raw pixel data for a frame based on an image processing parameter and provides lines of processed pixel data to control processor via a first interface. For each region of interest (ROI) in the frame, ISP generates auto-exposure and auto-white balance (2A) statistics based on the lines for the ROI and writes them to the local memory via a second interface. Control processor reads 2A statistics from the local memory, determines the image processing parameter based on them, and provides the image processing parameter to ISP. ISP also generates an integer N bin histogram for control processor, which sums a portion of the N total bins and compares the summed bin count to a lighting transition threshold. The image processing parameter is further based on the comparison.
