    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 described herein may utilize on-camera sensor information to adaptively adjust an intra frame insertion rate associated with a sequence of frames. The intra frame insertion rate associated with a sequence of frames may be adjusted based on the motion of the image capturing device while capturing the sequence of frames and a predefined motion threshold associated with the intra frame insertion rate of the sequence of frames. In some implementations, the intra frame insertion rate may be adjusted based on the activity being performed during the capture of the sequence of frames. As such, the encoding of one or more frames within a sequence of frames may be adaptively adjusted to better suit the scene depicted by the sequence of frames.

    Abstract: An image capture accelerator performs accelerated processing of image data. In one embodiment, the image capture accelerator includes accelerator circuitry including a pre-processing engine and a compression engine. The pre-processing engine is configured to perform accelerated processing on received image data, and the compression engine is configured to compress processed image data received from the pre-processing engine. In one embodiment, the image capture accelerator further includes a demultiplexer configured to receive image data captured by an image sensor array implemented within, for example, an image sensor chip. The demultiplexer may output the received image data to an image signal processor when the image data is captured by the image sensor array in a standard capture mode, and may output the received image data to the accelerator circuitry when the image data is captured by the image sensor array in an accelerated capture mode.

    Abstract: The conversion of RAW data captured by a camera can have artifacts in smoothness of various hues for varying chroma. To optimize smoothness and color accuracy, transform coefficients defining conversion of a standard color model to a target color model are determined. The RAW data is converted to data in a standard color model and the data in the standard color model is converted to data in the target color model using the transform coefficients. The process is repeated for various lightness levels and combined into a look up table to efficiently convert RAW data to data in the target color model for various lightness levels.
