Abstract: A method of WDR imaging. Exposure times (ETs) are set for first and second frames for an image sensor to avoid second frame saturating by setting a second ET>1/a PWM frequency applied to an LED illuminating a scene to generate second longer ET pixel data (PD). The first frame has first PD and a first ET

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: An apparatus and method for geometrically correcting a distorted input frame and generating an undistorted output frame. The apparatus includes an external memory block that stores the input frame, a counter block to compute output coordinates of the output frame for a region based on a block size of the region, a back mapping block to generate input coordinates corresponding to each of the output coordinates, a bounding module to compute input blocks corresponding to each of the input coordinates, a buffer module to fetch data corresponding to each of the input blocks, an interpolation module to interpolate data from the buffer module and a display module that receives the interpolated data for each of the regions and stitch an output image. The method includes determining the size of the output block based on a magnification data.

Abstract: A method for filtering noise for imaging includes receiving an image frame having position and range data. A filter size divides the frame into filter windows for processing each of the filter windows. For the first pixel, a space to the center pixel and a range difference between this pixel and the center pixel is determined and used for choosing a selected weight from weights in a 2D weight LUT including weighting for space and range difference, a filtered range value is calculated by applying the selected 2D weight to the pixel, and the range, filtered range value and selected 2D weight are summed. The determining, choosing, calculating and summing are repeated for at least the second pixel. A total sum of contributions from the first and second pixel are divided by the sum of selected 2D weights to generate a final filtered range value for the center pixel.

Abstract: Disclosed examples include integrated circuits, merge circuits and methods of processing multiple-exposure image data, in which a single pre-processing circuit is used for pre-processing first input exposure data associated with a first exposure of the image, and then for pre-processing second input exposure data associated with a second exposure of the image, and the first and second pre-processed exposure data are merged to generate merged image data for tone mapping and other post-processing. An example merge circuit includes a configurable gain circuit to apply a gain to the first and/or second exposure data, as well as a configurable weighting circuit with a weight calculation circuit and a motion adaptive filter circuit to compute a first and second weight values for merging the pre-processed first and second exposure data.

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.

Abstract: An example includes a system, having: an illumination source configured to produce illumination light; and a spatial light modulator (SLM) optically coupled to the illumination source, the SLM comprising an array of picture elements. The SLM is configured to: receive the illumination light; direct, by a first portion of the picture elements, on state light in a first direction; and direct, by a second portion of the picture elements, off state light in a second direction. The example system includes imaging optics optically coupled to the SLM, the imaging optics configured to receive the on state light from the SLM and to project an image as an image portion of a beam; and non-imaging optics optically coupled to the SLM, the non-imaging optics configured to receive the off state light from the SLM and to project the off state light as part of the beam.
