Abstract:
A data processing apparatus has a compressor and an output interface. The compressor receives an input multimedia data, and generates an output multimedia data according to the input multimedia data. The output interface packs the output multimedia data into an output bitstream, and outputs the output bitstream via a camera interface. The compressor adaptively adjusts a compression algorithm applied to the input multimedia data according to visibility of compression artifacts. By way of example, the camera interface may be a camera serial interface (CSI) standardized by a Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI).
Abstract:
A data processing apparatus has a compressor and an output interface. The compressor receives an input display data, and generates an output display data according to the input display data. The output interface packs the output display data into an output bitstream, and outputs the output bitstream via a display interface. The compressor adaptively adjusts a compression algorithm applied to the input display data according to at least one sensor input signal. For example, the at least one sensor input signal is generated from at least one of an ambient light sensor, a proximity sensor, a thermal sensor, an accelerometer, a gyroscope, and a receiver of a global navigation satellite system.

A data processing system has a first data processing apparatus and a second data processing apparatus. The first data processing apparatus includes a first controller, a display processor, a compressor and an output interface. The first controller controls the first data processing apparatus. The display processor generates a first input display data. The compressor generates a compressed display data according to the first input display data. The output interface packs the compressed display data into a bitstream, and outputs the bitstream via a display interface. The second data processing apparatus includes an input interface, a second controller, a display buffer and a de-compressor. The input interface un-packs the bitstream into a second input display data. The second controller controls the second data processing apparatus. The display buffer buffers the second input display data and outputs a buffered display data. The de-compressor de-compresses the buffered display data.
Abstract:
A data processing apparatus has a compressor and an output interface. The compressor generates an output display data according to an input display data. The output interface packs the output display data into an output bitstream, and outputs the output bitstream to another data processing apparatus via a display interface. The display interface is a display serial interface (DSI) standardized by a Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) or an embedded display port (eDP) standardized by a Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA). In addition, the compressor adaptively adjusts a compression algorithm according to context characteristics in the input display data, power supply status, operational status of a storage device, image capture characteristic, configuration of the another data processing apparatus, and/or compression algorithm supported by the another data processing apparatus. Further, the another data processing apparatus adaptively adjusts a de-compression algorithm according to a compression algorithm supported by the compressor.
Abstract:
An image capture device has an image capture module, a sensor and a controller. The sensor senses an object to generate a sensing result. The controller checks the sensing result to determine if a specific action associated with the image capture module is about to be triggered, and controls the image capture module to start the specific action in advance when determining that the specific action is about to be triggered.
Abstract:
Various examples with respect to adaptive infrared (IR) projection control for depth estimation in computer vision are described. A processor or control circuit of an apparatus receives data of an image based on sensing by one or more image sensors. The processor or control circuit also detects a region of interest (ROI) in the image. The processor or control circuit then adaptively controls a light projector with respect to projecting light toward the ROI.
Abstract:
A data processing apparatus has a camera sensor, a camera buffer, a compressor, and an output interface. The camera sensor generates an input multimedia data. The camera buffer stores a first data derived from the input multimedia data. The compressor generates a compressed multimedia data by compressing a second data derived from the input multimedia data. The output interface packs the compressed multimedia data into a bitstream, and outputs the bitstream via a camera interface. The camera interface is coupled between the data processing apparatus and another data processing apparatus that are located at different chips, and the camera interface is a chip-to-chip interface that provides direct pin connections between the different chips.

An image-based motion sensor has a camera system and a processing system. The camera system generates an image output including a plurality of captured images. The processing system obtains a motion sensor output by processing the image output, and identifies a user input as one of a plurality of pre-defined user actions according to the motion sensor output. Different functions of at least one application performed by one electronic device are controlled by the pre-defined user actions. The motion sensor output includes information indicative of at least one of a motion status and an orientation status of the image-based motion sensor. Each of the captured images has more than one color component, and only values of one single color component are involved in obtaining the motion sensor output.
