Abstract
An image processing method includes receiving a first image rendered by a graphics processing unit (GPU) from the GPU, comparing the first image with a second image rendered by the GPU before the first image, and controlling a rendering frequency of the GPU based on a result of comparing the first image with the second image.
Claims19
An image processing method, comprising:
- receiving a first image rendered by a graphics processing unit (GPU) from the GPU;
- comparing the first image with a second image rendered by the GPU before the first image;
- and
- controlling a rendering frequency of the GPU based on a result of comparing the first image with the second image,
- wherein the second image comprises a first rendered image rendered by the GPU before the first image and a second rendered image, and controlling the rendering frequency of the GPU comprises:
- comparing the first image with the first rendered image and determining a first degree of similarity between the first image and the first rendered image;
- comparing the first image with the second rendered image and determining a second degree of similarity between the first image and the second rendered image;
- and
- controlling the rendering frequency of the GPU based on an average value of the first degree of similarity and the second degree of similarity.
6 more elements
An image processing method, comprising:
- receiving a first image rendered by a graphics processing unit (GPU) and displayed in a first window;
- receiving a second image rendered by the GPU and displayed in a second window,
- wherein the first window corresponds to a first graphics application executed on a display and the second window corresponds to a second graphics application executed on the display, and the first and second graphics applications are simultaneously executed;
- comparing the first image with a third image rendered by the GPU before the first image and displayed in the first window;
- comparing the second image with a fourth image rendered by the GPU before the second image and displayed in the second window;
- and
- controlling a first rendering frequency of the GPU for the first window and a second rendering frequency of the GPU for the second window based on a result of comparing the first image with the third image and comparing the second image with the fourth image.
