Abstract:
A vertex processing device applied in an image processing system having an image capture module is disclosed. The image capture module generates camera images. The vertex processing device comprises a coefficient interpolation unit and a coordinate modifying unit. The coefficient interpolation unit generates an interpolated warping coefficient for each camera image with respect to each vertex from a vertex list based on n number of warping coefficients and its original texture coordinates in each camera image. The coordinate modifying unit calculates modified texture coordinates in each camera image for each vertex according to the interpolated warping coefficient and its original texture coordinates in each camera image. The vertex list comprises vertices with data structures that define vertex mapping between the camera images and a panoramic image. The n number of warping coefficients correspond to n number of overlap regions in the panoramic image.

A signal processor of the invention includes a host processor, a command queue, a graphics decoding circuit, a video decoding circuit, a composition engine and two display buffers. The host processor generates graphics commands and sets a video flag to active based on graphics encoded data, video encoded data and mask encoded data from a network. The command queue asserts a control signal according to the graphics commands. The graphics decoding circuit generates the graphics frame and two surface mask while the video decoding circuit generates the video frame and a video mask. The composition engine transfers the graphics frame, the video frame or a content of one of two display buffers to the other display buffer according to the video mask and the two surface masks when the control signal is asserted or when the video flag is active.
