Title: Compressing/decompressing vertex parameter data
Inventor: YANG XILE
IPC: G06T9/00
Filed: 2013-05-09
Abstract: Methods and computer graphics systems are provided for compressing vertex parameter data. The vertex parameter data comprises a data block comprising data of vertices relating to at least one parameter with the data of each of the vertices includes multiple data segments at respective positions. The data in the data block is analysed to determine a compression grouping scheme according to which data segments of the vertices are grouped together into segment blocks for compression. The compression algorithm used may be based on analysis of the data block and different compression algorithms may be used for different segments. The segment blocks may be compressed by identifying a origin value in at least one segment and determining the difference from the origin for each segment and bias value may be added to one or more segment sets in the segment block to reduce the range of values in the block. The difference values may also be stored in a look up table and the compression algorithm may determine an index to reference the table.

Title: A method, apparatus and system
Inventor: DAVID LEE
IPC: H04N5/335
Filed: 2014-12-18
Abstract: Disclosed is a device, which may be used for processing image data from a pixel array, comprising multiple data pathways or pipelines. The multiple data pathways, P0, P1, can be configured in a parallel arrangement to enable pixel data to read out concurrently. A first data pathway receives image data from a first plurality of pixels whilst a second data pathway receives image data from a second plurality of pixels. The first plurality of pixels include a number of pixels that are also included in the second plurality of pixels, Tovlp_pix. Consequently the device includes a number of shared pixels that are present in both the first and second plurality of pixels. The shared pixels may be used to enable kernel image processing to be performed by ensuring that each data pathway includes neighbouring pixel data for the pixels at the beginning and end of the each data pathway. This may be achieved by buffering the image information such that information relating to the shared pixels is buffered in parallel to the information relating to the first and second plurality of pixels.
