Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for processing data. The systems and methods include multiple processors that each couple to receive commands and data, where the commands and/or data correspond to frames of video that include multiple pixels. Additionally, an interlink module is coupled to receive processed data corresponding to the frames from each of the multiple processors. The interlink module selects pixels of the frames from the processed data of one of the processors based on a predetermined pixel characteristic and outputs the frames that include the selected pixels.
Claims10
A system comprising:
- a plurality of processors that each couple to receive commands and data that correspond to frames of video that comprise a plurality of pixels;
- and
- an interface module coupled to receive processed data corresponding to the frames from each of the plurality of processors, the interface module selecting pixels of the frames from the processed data of one of the processors based on a predetermined pixel characteristic and outputting a frame that includes the selected pixels.
A video processing apparatus, comprising:
- circuitry configurable to process video data associated with a pre-assigned portion of a video frame and to output pixels generated using the video data, including video data not associated including video data not associated with the pre-assigned portion of the video frame;
- and
- circuitry configured to receive the output pixels associated and to select pixels associated with the pre-assigned portion of the video frame for further processing based on a pixel parameter value, and to discard pixels not associated and to select pixels associated with the pre-assigned portion of the video frame based on the pixel parameter.
