METHOD AND DEVICE FOR LATENCY REDUCTION OF AN IMAGE PROCESSING PIPELINE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18209643 Titled 'METHOD AND DEVICE FOR LATENCY REDUCTION OF AN IMAGE PROCESSING PIPELINE'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for determining the complexity of an image of a physical environment and estimating the time it takes to combine virtual content with the image. If the estimated time exceeds a certain threshold, the virtual content is not rendered from the camera's perspective. Instead, a previous render of the virtual content is combined with the image to create a graphical environment.

Original Abstract Submitted

In some implementations, a method includes: determining a complexity value for first image data associated with of a physical environment that corresponds to a first time period; determining an estimated composite setup time based on the complexity value for the first image data and virtual content for compositing with the first image data; in accordance with a determination that the estimated composite setup time exceeds the threshold time: forgoing rendering the virtual content from the perspective that corresponds to the camera pose of the device relative to the physical environment during the first time period; and compositing a previous render of the virtual content for a previous time period with the first image data to generate the graphical environment for the first time period.
