Systems and Methods for Multi-Core Image Encoding - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17675414 titled 'Systems and Methods for Multi-Core Image Encoding
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure describes a system and method for multi-processing core processing of image frames during image encoding. This technology enables parallel processing of frame data to reduce memory usage and mitigate latency in video encoding.
- The technology involves multiple processing cores connected via dedicated interfaces.
- The processing cores transfer neighbor data between each other to enable parallel processing of frame data.
- Each processing core can process quad-rows of image data for a single frame in parallel.
- This parallel processing reduces memory usage and improves the efficiency of video encoding.
Potential Applications
This technology has potential applications in various fields where image encoding is required, such as:
- Video streaming platforms
- Video conferencing systems
- Security and surveillance systems
- Virtual reality and augmented reality applications
Problems Solved
This technology addresses the following problems in image encoding:
- High memory usage during video encoding
- Latency issues in video encoding processes
- Inefficiency in parallel processing of frame data
Benefits
The use of multi-processing core processing of image frames during image encoding offers several benefits, including:
- Reduced memory usage, leading to more efficient resource utilization
- Mitigated latency in video encoding, resulting in faster processing times
- Improved parallel processing capabilities, enhancing overall performance and efficiency
Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure relates to systems and methods of multi-processing core processing of image frames during image encoding. The multiple processing cores may be connected via dedicated interfaces and transfer neighbor data between the processing cores to enable parallel processing of frame data. The multiple processing cores may each process quad-rows of image data for a single frame in parallel to reduce memory usage and mitigate latency in video encoding.
