Method and apparatus for arbitrary output shape processing of an image

An apparatus comprising:

• a capture block configured to:
• receive a first frame;
• and
• receive a second frame;
• a mapping module configured to:
• map blocks of a third frame to blocks of the first frame;
• and
• map the blocks of the third frame to blocks of the second frame;
• an allocating module configured to:
• determine scaling data for the blocks of the third frame;
• determine a scaling threshold based on the scaling data;
• divide the third frame into regions based on the scaling threshold;
• determine a block size for each of the blocks in each of the regions of the third frame, wherein the block size for each of the blocks is based on the scaling data;
• an identifying module configured to classify a portion of the blocks of the third frame as redundant blocks;
• and
• a programming module configured to in response to determining that blocks in a group of the blocks are redundant blocks, skipping at least some processing of the region.
