Abstract: The quality of a frame sequence is enhanced by a booster engine collaborating with a first stage circuit. The first stage circuit adjusts the quality degradation of the frame sequence when a condition in constrained resources is detected. The quality degradation includes at least one of uneven resolution and uneven frame per second (FPS). The booster engine receives the frame sequence from the first stage circuit, and generates an enhanced frame sequence based on the frame sequence for transmission to a second stage circuit.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide a device for processing frames with aliasing artifacts. For example, the device can include a motion estimation circuit, a warping circuit coupled to the motion estimation circuit, and a temporal decision circuit coupled to the warping circuit. The motion estimation circuit can estimate a motion value between a current frame and a previous frame. The warping circuit can warp the previous frame based on the motion value such that the warped previous frame is aligned with the current frame and determine whether the current frame and the warped previous frame are consistent. The temporal decision circuit can generate an output frame, the output frame including either the current frame and the warped previous frame when the current frame and the warped previous frame are consistent, or the current frame when the current frame and the warped previous frame are not consistent.

Abstract: A frame interpolation method for generating a third image frame interpolated between a first image frame and a second image frame includes: performing motion estimation upon a first input image frame and a second input image frame, to obtain a single-directional motion, wherein the first input image frame is derived from the first image frame, and the second input image frame is derived from the second image frame; scaling the single-directional motion according to a time point of the third image frame, to generate a scaled motion; deriving a forward-warped result from a result of performing a forward warping operation and a first inverse operation upon the scaled motion; performing a second inverse operation upon the forward-warped result, to generate an inversed result; and generating the third image frame according to the first image frame, the second image frame, the forward-warped result, and the inversed result.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide a frame processor for processing frames with aliasing artifacts. For example, the frame processor can include a super-resolution (SR) and anti-aliasing (AA) engine and an attention reference frame generator coupled to the SR and AA engine. The SR and AA engine can be configured to enhance resolution and remove aliasing artifacts of a frame to generate a first high-resolution frame with aliasing artifacts and a second high-resolution frame with aliasing artifacts removed. The attention reference frame generator can be configured to generate an attention reference frame based on the first high-resolution frame and the second high-resolution frame.

Abstract: An image processing circuit performs super-resolution (SR) operations. The image processing circuit includes memory to store multiple parameter sets of multiple artificial intelligent (AI) models. The image processing circuit further includes an image guidance module, a parameter decision module, and an SR engine. The image guidance module operates to detect a representative feature in an image sequence including a current frame and past frames within a time window. The parameter decision module operates to adjust parameters of one or more AI models based on a measurement of the representative feature. The SR engine operates to process the current frame using the one or more AI models with the adjusted parameters to thereby generate a high-resolution image for display.

Abstract: A booster engine enhances the quality of a frame sequence. The booster engine receives, from a first stage circuit, the frame sequence with quality degradation in at least a frame. The the quality degradation includes at least one of uneven resolution and uneven frame per second (FPS). The booster engine queries an information repository for reference information on the frame, using a query input based on at least a region of the frame to obtain a query output. The booster engine then applies a neural network to the query input and the query output to generate an optimized frame, and sends an enhanced frame sequence including the optimized frame to a second stage circuit.
