METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING AN IMAGE ON AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE

摘要

Image processing is executed on an electronic device application using a main processing thread and at least one child processing thread dependent from the main processing thread. The image is acquired for rendering on the electronic device and split into at least two segments amenable to rendering using graphical primitives. A respective segment indication is acquired by a respective child processing thread of the at least two segments and a set of required graphical primitives, such that each child processing thread receives a single instance of the respective segment for processing at a given time. A new space in memory of the electronic device is allocated for each respective child processing thread. The respective child processing thread renders the image of each respective segment in corresponding allocated space of memory. Each rendered image is saved in a byte array transmitted by the respective child processing thread to the main processing thread. At the main processing thread, a final image is rendered on a screen of the electronic device using sets of the byte array.
