    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and devices for video or frame processing including an apparatus, e.g., a video or frame processor. In some aspects, the apparatus may receive a video stream including a plurality of frames, each of the plurality of frames including luminance information. The apparatus may also perform a histogram analysis on the luminance information for each of the plurality of frames. Additionally, the apparatus may determine whether a difference between the luminance information for each of the plurality of frames and a current luminance distribution is greater than a perceptual threshold. The apparatus may also calculate an updated tone mapping configuration based on the luminance information for a frame when the difference between the luminance information for the frame and the current luminance distribution is greater than the perceptual threshold.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatus for image processing. The apparatus can generate object mask information for one or more objects in a first image of a plurality of images in a scene. In some aspects, the first image can be at least one of a downscaled image, a down-sampled image, or a low resolution image. The apparatus can also determine one or more object classifications of the first image based on the generated object mask information. Additionally, the apparatus can identify a modification to at least one of the one or more object classifications based on a second image of the plurality of images in the scene. In some aspects, the apparatus can adjust or maintain the one or more object classifications based on the identified modification to at least one of the one or more object classifications.

    Abstract: In some cases, conventional digital zoom techniques can lead to poor quality images. Disclosed are systems and methods for improving the quality of images generated by digital zoom. For example, in some embodiments, a parallel structure is utilized where an image is passed through a sharpener and a 2D directional upscaler at the same time. Upscaling operations are then performed on the sharpened image. The upscaled sharpened image is added to the output of the 2D directional upscaler to produce an enhanced image.

    Abstract: Rescaling or reconstructing of a digital image may be accomplished by directional interpolation, so that interpolation is done in the direction perpendicular to the gradient—the direction in which the change in pixel values is the smallest. Each pixel is generated by interpolation in the output image as a weighted average of nearby pixels, in which the weighting is done in the direction of the gradient. The interpolation is accomplished with an adaptive filter that has an elliptical frequency response determined by the direction of the gradient. The filter uses filter coefficients that are a function of the direction. Rather than storing coefficients for each of several directions, three filter coefficients are stored—one set for non-directional filter, one for one direction such as 45 degrees, and another for another direction such as 135 degrees. A blending of the filter coefficients is used.
