Abstract
This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus, and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for adaptive foveated coding for split rendering. A processor may receive, over a network, a first indication of a gaze of a user on a display panel of a device. The processor may compute, based on the first indication of the gaze of the user, an importance map for an encoding of a frame. The processor may encode a set of regions of the frame based on the importance map. The processor may output a second indication of the encoded set of regions of the frame.
Claims20
An apparatus for graphics processing, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory and, based on information stored in the memory, the processor is configured to:
- receive, over a network, a first indication of a gaze of a user;
- compute, based on the first indication of the gaze of the user, an importance map for an encoding of a frame;
- encode a set of regions of the frame based on the computed importance map;
- and
- output a second indication of the encoded set of regions of the frame.
An apparatus for graphics processing, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory and, based on information stored in the memory, the processor is configured to:
- transmit, over a network, a first indication of a gaze of a user on a display panel of a device;
- receive, over the network and based on the first indication of the gaze of the user, a bitstream for a frame, wherein the bitstream includes a set of bitrates for a set of regions of the frame;
- and
- output an indication of the received bitstream.
A method of graphics processing, comprising:
- receiving, over a network, a first indication of a gaze of a user on a display panel of a device;
- computing, based on the first indication of the gaze of the user, an importance map for an encoding of a frame;
- encoding a set of regions of the frame based on the importance map;
- and
- outputting a second indication of the encoded set of regions of the frame.
