Abstract:
This disclosure describes techniques for producing high dynamic range images by applying a variable weighting factor to a sample prior to combining the sample with another sample. In one example, a method includes sampling a first pixel cell signal at a first time to produce a first sample, sampling a second pixel cell signal at a second time to produce a second sample, applying a variable weighting factor to the second sample, wherein the variable weighting factor is defined based on a function, and combining the first sample and the weighted second sample.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are presented herein to perform selective and/or scalable complexity control of the video codec, so that the amount of processing resources consumed by a video codec may be increased or reduced. Based on the configurable thresholds set within complexity control algorithms, the nonpredictive and the predictive coding sections of the video codec may be selectively implemented. The configurable thresholds are used to determine whether a desired amount of spatial information, such as texture information or motion information, is present within a video frame.
