Real-time video frame pre-processing hardware

摘要

A dynamically reconfigurable heterogeneous systolic array is configured to process a first image frame, and to generate image processing primatives from the image frame, and to store the primatives and the corresponding image frame in a memory store. A characteristic of the image frame is determined. Based on the characteristic, the array is reconfigured to process a following image frame.

主权项

1. An apparatus comprising one or more hardware processors, memory, and one or more modules configured to:
process, in a dynamically reconfigurable heterogeneous systolic array, a first image frame to generate a plurality of image processing primitives from the first image frame; wherein the plurality of image processing primitives comprises at least one image map; store the plurality of image processing primitives and the first image frame in a memory store; based, at least in part, on the plurality of image processing primitives, determine one or more characteristics of the first image frame; based on the one or more characteristics determined for the first image frame, reconfigure the dynamically reconfigurable heterogeneous systolic array; and process, using the reconfigured dynamically reconfigurable heterogeneous systolic array, a second image frame based on the one or more characteristics.
