SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MOTION COMPENSATED TEMPORAL FILTERING DURING IMAGE PROCESSING OPERATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240080498 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MOTION COMPENSATED TEMPORAL FILTERING DURING IMAGE PROCESSING OPERATIONS
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure describes image processing circuitry that applies temporal filtering to video image data along motion trajectories in the video image data. The temporal filtering is applied by filtering source pixels based on reference pixel values and refined motion vectors. The circuitry fetches source and reference pixel values using received motion vectors from an encoding pipeline. It includes a motion vector refinement block and a temporal filtering block to filter the video image data based on refined motion vectors and source and reference pixel values.
