Methods, systems, and apparatuses are provided to automatically adjust the position of image sensors, and generate a multi-view image based on image data captured from the image sensors. For example, an image capture device includes a housing comprising a first housing portion and a second housing portion, with a first sensor coupled to the first housing portion, and a second sensor coupled to the second housing portion. A coupling device, such as a hinge, couples the first housing portion to the second housing portion. The image capture device obtains image data from the first sensor and the second sensor, and determines an object depth based on the obtained image data. The image capture device outputs an adjusted angle based on the object depth, and obtains additional image data from the first and second sensors. The image capture device generates the multi-view image based on the additional image data.

The present disclosure relates to graphics processing. An apparatus of the present disclosure may determine visibility streams corresponding to a target and a set of bins into which the target is divided. The apparatus may select one of a first rendering mode or a second rendering mode for the target based on the first visibility stream and based on the set of second visibility streams. When the first rendering mode is select, the apparatus may configure each of the set of bins into a first subset associated with a first type of rendering pass or a second subset associated with a second type of rendering pass. The apparatus may then render the target based on the selected one of the first rendering mode or the second rendering mode and, if applicable, based on the first rendering pass type or the second rendering pass type.

This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for reducing gamut mapping luminance loss. A gain value of at least one primary color may be reduced in a native color gamut based on an analog technique (e.g., using a DDIC in a display panel) to provide a reduced color gamut that is smaller than the native color gamut. The reduced color gamut may have a same luminance as the native color gamut. One or more colors included in the native color gamut may be mapped via a digital technique (e.g., using a DPU or other processor) to the reduced color gamut. The mapping may be configured to provide a threshold level of color accuracy in the reduced color gamut.

Method for reducing gamut mapping luminance loss

Devices and methods for reducing a DPU transfer time to compensate for a delayed GPU render time. After completion of rendering a second frame that follows a first frame, a frame processor determines whether the first frame is currently transferring to a display panel or has already been transferred to the display panel. At least one clock is used with a first set of clock speeds when the first frame is determined to be currently transferring and used with a second set of clock speeds when the first frame is determined to have already been transferred, the second set of clock speeds being faster than the first set of clock speeds. After completion of the transfer of the first frame, the second frame is transferred based on the set of clock speeds.

An example image capture device includes a display configured to display captured images, a camera sensor, the camera sensor being disposed to receive light through at least a portion of the display, memory configured to store captured images, and one or more processors coupled to the camera sensor, the display, and the memory. The one or more processors are configured to receive a signal from a sensor. The one or more processors are configured to determine, based at least in part on the signal, a user interface mode. The user interface mode includes a first mode having a first number of black pixels or a second mode having a second number of black pixels. The first number is greater than the second number. The one or more processors are also configured to receive image data from the camera sensor.

Under-display camera systems and methods

Methods and apparatuses are provided for alignment of hardware and software Vsync signals through filtering out delayed timestamp signals in a hardware timestamp signal used to generate the software Vsync. The alignment may occur when a display client is operating in a video mode but not a command mode. A compositor or processing unit may receive a hardware Vsync signal from a display using a video mode, generate a hardware timestamp signal based on the hardware Vsync signal, determine a delay for a pulse in the hardware timestamp signal based on a delay for a set of previous frames, determine whether the delay for the pulse is over a threshold, and control rendering and transmission of a frame to the display based on the delay for the pulse being over the threshold. Thus, accurate Vsync signal synchronization may occur.

Software Vsync filtering

In some aspects, the present disclosure provides a method for high dynamic range (HDR) video rotation. The method includes receiving, by a display processor, an indication that a frame rotation animation process for video playback has been initiated, the display processor comprising a display processor pipeline. The method also includes determining whether the video playback is an HDR format or another format. In response to the determination and receiving the indication: bypassing a loading of the frame rotation animation into a first portion of the display processor pipeline, and loading the frame rotation animation into a second portion of the display processor pipeline if the video playback is in an HDR format.

The present disclosure provides methods and apparatus for configuring an image data transfer time for sending image data from a processor to a display panel along a display path. One method includes receiving, by the processor from the display panel, a display panel refresh interval indication indicating a display panel refresh interval of the display panel. The display panel refresh interval of the display panel corresponds to a time duration of a display period of the display panel. The display panel is configured to refresh each display period. The image data transfer time is computed based on the display panel refresh interval. One or more components of the display path are configured to support the computed image data transfer time.
