Abstract: Display brightness adjustment apparatus and methods are described in which the average brightness of a display may be scaled up or down using a non-linear function. When applying the non-linear function to scale down brightness, the contrast of the output signal may not be reduced so that the dynamic range and highlights are preserved. The non-linear brightness adjustment may be performed automatically, for example in response to ambient light level as detected by sensor(s), but may also be applied in response to a user adjustment to a brightness control knob or slider. The non-linear brightness adjustment may be performed globally, or alternatively may be performed on local regions of an image or display panel. The non-linear function may be a piecewise linear function, or some other non-linear function.

Abstract: A mixed reality system that includes a device and a base station that communicate via a wireless connection The device may include sensors that collect information about the user's environment and about the user. The information collected by the sensors may be transmitted to the base station via the wireless connection. The base station renders frames or slices based at least in part on the sensor information received from the device, encodes the frames or slices, and transmits the compressed frames or slices to the device for decoding and display. The base station may provide more computing power than conventional stand-alone systems, and the wireless connection does not tether the device to the base station as in conventional tethered systems. The system may implement methods and apparatus to maintain a target frame rate through the wireless link and to minimize latency in frame rendering, transmittal, and display.

Abstract: Video processing techniques and pipelines that support capture, distribution, and display of high dynamic range (HDR) image data to both HDR-enabled display devices and display devices that do not support HDR imaging. A sensor pipeline may generate standard dynamic range (SDR) data from HDR data captured by a sensor using tone mapping, for example local tone mapping. Information used to generate the SDR data may be provided to a display pipeline as metadata with the generated SDR data. If a target display does not support HDR imaging, the SDR data may be directly rendered by the display pipeline. If the target display does support HDR imaging, then an inverse mapping technique may be applied to the SDR data according to the metadata to render HDR data for display. Information used in performing color gamut mapping may also be provided in the metadata and used to recover clipped colors for display.

Abstract: One exemplary implementation involves performing operations at an electronic device with one or more processors and a computer-readable storage medium. The device establishes a wireless communication link with a host device. The device receives, from the host device, a left eye frame and a right eye frame via a sequence of left eye frame transmissions and right eye frame transmissions. The device switches data transmissions schemes according to wireless commination link quality or eye gaze tracking. Adjusting transmission format based on transmission quality of the wireless communication link allows the devices to take advantage of greater bandwidth when available to save power. An additional transmission format is based on alternately transmitting left eye and right eye frames for very low bandwidth.

Abstract: A multi-layer low-pass filter is used to filter a first frame of video data representing at least a portion of an environment of an individual. A first layer of the filter has a first filtering resolution setting for a first subset of the first frame, while a second layer of the filter has a second filtering resolution setting for a second subset. The first subset includes a data element positioned along a direction of a gaze of the individual, and the second subset of the frame surrounds the first subset. A result of the filtering is compressed and transmitted via a network to a video processing engine configured to generate a modified visual representation of the environment.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for coding image data adaptively at different levels of downscaling. Such techniques may involve partitioning input data into pixel blocks for coding and performing content analysis on the pixel blocks. The pixel blocks may be input to block coders that operate at different pixel block sizes, which may code the pixel blocks input to them at their respective sizes. Except when a block coder operates at the partitioning size, block coders that operate at different pixel block sizes may perform downscaling of the pixel blocks to match their size with the block coders' respective coding size. A block decoder may invert the coding operations performed by the block coders, decoding coded image data at respective pixel block sizes, then upscaling decoded image data obtained therefrom to a common pixel block size. Image reconstruction may synthesize a resultant image from the decode pixel block data output by the decoders. Quality enhancements may be added by neural network processing systems that have been trained to other segmented images.

Abstract: Techniques for adjusting formats of images and video are presented, for example where an SDR source is presented on an HDR display, or vice versa. Techniques include deriving a conversion profile for image data where the conversion profile is responsive to parameters describing characteristics of a domain of source image data and characteristics of a domain of a target rendering environment. Some techniques include creating a tone curve from weighted basis functions.

Abstract: Video encoders often produce banding artifacts on areas with smooth gradients and low levels of detail/noise. In this disclosure, a video encoding system identifies the banded areas and adjusts coding parameters accordingly. The video coder may include a pre-coding banding detector and a post-coding banding detector. The pre-coding detector may identify regions in the input picture with smooth gradients that are likely to have banding artifacts after encoding. The post-coding detector may identify regions in the reconstructed picture with visible banding. Usage of pre-coding detector and/or post-coding detector depends on how an encoder operates. In a single-pass encoding or during the first pass of a multi-pass encoding, the pre-coding detection maps are used. During picture re-encoding or during later passes of a multi-pass encoding, the post-coding detector maps are used.
