Abstract
This patent application focuses on partitioning the computation to perform the image processing on the DSP, communicate the results to the GPU in an optimized manner, and use the GPU to render 3D information to the display. This invention solves the problem of seamlessly merging live streams from plural automotive cameras into a 3D display that can be rotated to see different view points. This purpose is achieved by partitioning the computation task between a digital signal processor (DSP) for image processing and a graphics processing unit (GPU) for rendering and display. This invention also includes meta data structures for communication of results from the DSP to the GPU.
