Abstract:
1. An apparatus for processing an image, the apparatus comprising: an image transformation unit configured to (i) select a portion of the image, wherein the selected portion of the image comprises a plurality of pixels, and wherein a plurality of metadata outputs is associated with the selected portion of the image; a multiplexer unit comprising a plurality of multiplexers, wherein each multiplexer of the plurality of multiplexers is configured to (i) receive pixel data of a corresponding subset of the plurality of pixels, (ii) receive a corresponding one or more of the plurality of metadata outputs, and (iii) based on the pixel data of the corresponding subset of the plurality of pixels and the corresponding one or more of the plurality of metadata outputs, generate a corresponding address bit, wherein a plurality of address bits are correspondingly generated by the plurality of multiplexers; and a look up table (LUT) configured to (i) receive the plurality of address bits from the multiplexer unit, and (ii) based on the plurality of address bits, output replacement pixel data, wherein the replacement pixel data replaces at least a section of the selected portion of the image.
