Imagination launches imaging framework for Android

January 9, 2015 — ImaginaTIon Technologies (IMG.L) launched the new PowerVR Imaging Framework for Android: PowerVR imaging framework: this is a set of software components that can fully utilize the inherent low power parallel computing features of PowerVR Rogue GPU , Can assist OEM manufacturers to integrate the latest computational photography (computaTIonal photography) and computer vision functions into camera applications.

Advanced visual and computational photography features, including HDR (high dynamic range), panoramic sTItching, manual identification and augmented reality, require a lot of processing power. Today, most OEM manufacturers still rely on CPU / DSP cores to meet this performance requirement, but due to the heat dissipation of the device, these processors are unable to provide stable video-level processing for HD content.

The massive parallel processing architecture of GPU is very suitable for many image processing algorithms. The PowerVR Imaging Framework can tightly integrate the GPU with other system components, such as camera sensors, ISP (Image Signal Processor), CPU, and other specific SoC hardware, to create a programmable image that can be easily built into OEM camera applications Processing pipeline. With the excellent power consumption and performance efficiency of PowerVR GPUs, ImaginaTIon ’s OEM partners can now take the lead in deploying advanced video features in camera applications before the new SoC has established a dedicated hardware design-all features can be Tablet PCs and other consumer devices are implemented within a limited power budget.

Peter McGuinness, director of multimedia technology sales at Imagination, said: "Using PowerVR's Imaging Framework imaging framework, we can assist customers and their OEMs to use existing SoCs to easily bring differentiated features to camera applications without increasing hardware costs.

Kai Pang, senior product manager of ASUS, said: "Imagination's PowerVR imaging technology can provide better features for mass-market products and allow more consumers to use them."

PowerVR Imaging Framework for Android

The PowerVR Imaging Framework for Android (PowerVR imaging framework for Android) contains a set of extended software for OpenCL and EGL application programming interfaces (APIs), which enables effective zero-copy sampling of YUV and RGB camera data. For example, the extension software can directly process the YUV data format to speed up algorithms that only operate on luminance data. Another extension software can be used to configure the hardware so that it can dynamically convert YUV data to RGB format during sampling.

This architecture also includes low-level functions that can integrate these zero-copy extension software in the camera HAL (hardware abstraction layer). After integration, these extension software can be used to overcome any limitations of camera lenses, ISP (Image Signal Processor) hardware function combinations, or Android camera applications. Customers have taken advantage of the zero-copy feature in the architecture to build accelerated vision applications without requiring any additional coherency hardware.

Imagination is now working with a number of software partners to assist them in demonstrating new computational photography and vision solutions. Some of the results will be exhibited at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES). With its deep knowledge of image processors, GPUs, video encoders and embedded CPUs, as well as its professional capabilities in heterogeneous processing and computing APIs, including OpenCL, RenderScript and OpenGL ES 3.0, and emerging vision application APIs such as OpenVX, Imagination is unique With advantages, it can assist partners to develop innovative vision systems.

McGuinness added: "According to the initial usage plan, we have provided this imaging platform to our main partners. I am very happy to see that our software partners have built a powerful visual ecosystem for PowerVR computing technology and made significant progress . "

Michael Minkevich, vice president of technical services at Luxoft, said: "Imagination's Imaging Framework imaging framework allows us to effectively build a variety of computational photography techniques on the GPU, including image denoising (denoising), architecture and detail enhancement, and HDR, for PowerVR Users provide the most value. The reference camera display application included in the Imaging Framework imaging framework can help us to show almost commercial solutions for terminal OEMs. "
