    摘要: A technique is described for compressing textures for use in a graphics application, such as a 3D game application. The technique includes parsing first-compressed texture information (e.g., S3TC texture information) into respective components of the first-compressed texture information (such as main color information, color index information, main alpha information, and alpha index information). The technique then further compresses the respective components to yield second-compressed texture information (referred to as modified compressed texture information or MCT texture information). The MCT texture information can be stored and then decoded to reconstruct the original S3TC texture information for use in the graphics application. Compared to the use of unmodified S3TC texture information, the technique allows more economical storage of texture information, as well as more efficient loading of the texture information from storage to memory.

    摘要: A method for compressing a high dynamic range (HDR) texture. A first block of texels of the HDR texture in a red-green-blue (RGB) space may be transformed to a second block of texels in a luminance-chrominance space. The first block may have red values, green values and blue values. The second block may have luminance values and chrominance values. The chrominance values may be based on a sum of the red values, a sum of the green values and a sum of the blue values. The luminance values and the chrominance values may be converted to an 8-bit integer format. The luminance values may be modified to restore a local linearity property to the second block. The second block may be compressed.

    摘要: Digital images are resized according to a prescribed image scaling factor. An original image is re-sampled according to the scaling factor, resulting in an initial resized image. A probability of text (POT) map is generated for the initial resized image, where the POT map specifies a smoothed POT value for each pixel in the initial resized image. A weighting factor (WF) map is generated which maps each different smoothed POT value to a particular WF value. The WF map is used to calculate an adjusted luminance value for each pixel in the initial resized image, resulting in a final resized image.

    摘要: Bitstream switching for multiple bit rate video streaming uses a first algorithm to generate multiple encoded bitstreams of a piece of video at different bit rates. A different algorithm is used to generate multiple side bitstreams of the video. Each side stream is generated at respective ones of the different bit rates. The side bitstreams comprise switching frames to switch from a first bitstream encoded with the first algorithm at a first bit rate to a second bitstream encoded with the first algorithm at a different bit rate. At non-bitstream switching points, frames from respective ones of bitstreams generated with the first algorithm are streamed for presentation. At a bitstream switching point, a switching frame from a respective side bitstream is transmitted to a decoder to transition streaming from a first of the respective ones of the bitstreams to a second of the respective ones of the bitstreams.

The chrominance values may be based on a sum of the red values, a sum of the green values and a sum of the blue values. The chrominance values may be sampled for a first subset of texels in the second block. The luminance values and the sampled chrominance values may be converted to an 8-bit integer format. The luminance values of the first subset may be modified to restore a local linearity property to the first subset. The second block may be compressed into a third block.
