Techniques for performing panoramic scaling are disclosed that reduce visible distortion in a panoramic image. Further, techniques for performing combined YC adjustment and color conversion are disclosed that reduce the size and power requirements of video manipulation hardware by reducing the number of logic gates and memory buffers required when YC adjustment and color conversion are implemented as separate operations.

A demosaic system and method that supports multiple CFA pattern inputs is disclosed. The demosaic system is capable of handling both RGB Bayer input and CMYG input and perform demosaic operations on both inputs to recover full-color images from the raw input images. The system uses a variable number gradient demosiac process. The process uses a 5×5 neighborhood of sensor pixel data centered at the pixel under consideration. The process calculates a set of gradients corresponding to different directions within the neighborhood of the sensor pixel data. A threshold value is determined and a subset of gradients is selected from the set of gradients that fall below the threshold value. The system calculates estimation values for the missing color value and the actual measured center pixel color value obtained from the sensor data on directions that are within the subset of gradients below the threshold. The system then determines the sum of the missing color estimation values and the sum of the actual center pixel color estimation values. The system interpolates the missing color value by using the average difference of the summed estimation values for the missing color and the summed estimation values for the actual center measured pixel value from the sensor data.

This invention relates generally to hardware for scaling and filtering video data and more specifically to algorithms and techniques for accelerating scaling and filtering operations on digital video data. The hardware is designed so that scaling and filtering operations are combined and performed simultaneously where possible to speed manipulation of the video data. Efficient design of the system allows memory buffers and logic gates to be shared or eliminated to reduce the size, cost and power requirements of the hardware implementation.

摘要:
A video processing system configured with DMA latency compensation is disclosed. This compensation helps minimize or otherwise mitigate shortages of data to the display, thereby improving the quality of displayed video. A relatively small line buffer is used to stage data for video processing. Should an underflow of data occur (where the buffer reading process is ahead of the buffer writing process), data is read from the previous line buffer. This not only prevents shortages of data to the display, but also provides data that is more likely to be relevant to the actual scene being displayed (as compared to random data).

摘要:
A processing system includes an arithmetic logic unit (ALU) sub-system that allows data associated with a prior instruction to be preserved for use with a next instruction or subsequent instruction without having to reload the value using an intermediate register. The ALU sub-system includes a pair of ALUs communicatively cross-coupled with a pair of accumulators. The processing system also includes a data selector coupled to the ALU sub-system for use with memory contention prediction. The data selector includes a constant generator that controls storage of data associated with a previous instruction in a bypass element, and a selector to choose between data from a databus element and data stored in the bypass element.
