NON-LINEAR FILTERING FOR COLOR SPACE CONVERSIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17454797 titled 'NON-LINEAR FILTERING FOR COLOR SPACE CONVERSIONS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods and devices for graphics processing, specifically related to a GPU.

  • The apparatus receives a set of pixels in a first color space, which includes multiple color channels.
  • At least one of the color channels is compressed, and the apparatus decompresses it to a decompressed channel.
  • The apparatus then performs a color space conversion, converting the first color space to a second color space.
  • The conversion results in a set of pixels with multiple color channels associated with the second color space.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various fields that involve graphics processing, such as:

  • Video game development
  • Computer-generated imagery (CGI) in movies and animations
  • Graphic design and editing software
  • Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) applications

Problems Solved

The technology addresses the following problems in graphics processing:

  • Efficient handling of compressed color channels
  • Accurate color space conversion
  • Streamlining graphics processing tasks
  • Enhancing the visual quality of images and videos

Benefits

The use of this technology offers several benefits:

  • Improved performance and efficiency in graphics processing
  • Enhanced visual fidelity and color accuracy in rendered images and videos
  • Simplified workflow for developers and designers
  • Compatibility with various color spaces and compression techniques


Original Abstract Submitted

Aspects presented herein relate to methods and devices for graphics processing including an apparatus, e.g., a GPU. The apparatus may receive a plurality of pixels associated with a first color space including a plurality of first color channels, at least one first color channel of the plurality of first color channels being a first compressed channel. The apparatus may also decompress the at least one first color channel of the plurality of first color channels, the at least one first color channel being decompressed from the first compressed channel to a first decompressed channel. Further, the apparatus may perform a color space conversion of the first color space associated with the plurality of pixels, such that the plurality of first color channels is converted to a plurality of second color channels, the plurality of second color channels being associated with a second color space for the plurality of pixels.
