US 2018/0295253 A1 · PLATFORM DMFT AND INTERACTION WITH IHV DMFT

Abstract

The present disclosure provides devices and techniques for processing a media capture stream captured by a camera device using a chain device media foundation transform (DMFT). The techniques include configuring multiple DMFTs such that an original manufacturer (OEM) may have flexibility in independently selecting various functionalities from different sources (e.g., OS, OEM, IHV, ISV, or VARs) in order to maximize hardware capabilities while minimizing the drawbacks of creating a single DMFT. To that end, the implementation of the present disclosure includes a devices and techniques of chainable DMFTs such that a device transform manager may select a set of functionalities (e.g., face recognition, color effects, etc.) from multiple vendors to customize the camera's capabilities according to the OEM specification.

Dependent claims

A method for processing a media capture stream captured by a camera device using a chain device media foundation transform (DMFT), comprising:

identifying, at an operating system executing on a computer device, one or more functionalities of a platform DMFT provided by the operating system;
determining whether to extend or overlap the identified one or more functionalities of the platform DMFT;
selecting a subset of DMFTs from a set of available DMFTs based on the determining;
chaining the subset of DMFTs in a specified order, wherein the specified order identifies a sequence in which the media capture stream is processed by the selected subset of DMFTs;
and
enabling the chained subset of DMFTs to process the media capture stream based on the specified order.
