Scalable video compression accelerator for autonomous driving

Abstract

A video system includes a first data gathering node configured to receive a plurality of image streams from a plurality of cameras, respectively. Each of the plurality of cameras captures an environment of an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV). The first data gathering node tags the plurality of image streams with metadata that identifies each of the plurality of image streams, and combines the plurality of image streams with the metadata to form a combined image stream. A second data gathering node is communicatively coupled to the first data gathering node and is to receive the combined image stream from the first data gathering node and output the combined image stream with a second combined image stream.
