Avieon Solution

Avieon’s video post processing IP offers the best real time super resolution implementation for improving image quality of low-resolution video and still images. In numerous computer display applications, enhancing the quality and resolution of captured video can be critical. Acquired video is often grainy / blurry and/or low quality due to motion, transmission bottlenecks, etc. Avieon’s Post-processing IP can greatly decrease blur to deliver a clear, smooth, sharp, high quality video.

One of the most important aspects of a good image is that the subject looks good. People, and in particular faces, are often the primary subject of an image. Attention is usually drawn to the faces, and people tend to have definite opinions regarding how a face should appear. This is particularly true if the face in the video is of someone they know - not to mention their own. Viewers prefer facial details such as eyes, lips and hairline to be crisp, healthy skin colors are naturally preferred over sickly looking ones. Avieon’s patent pending Skin Tone correction algorithm automatically improves the appearance of faces in images / video.

Designers can develop a system that displays low-resolution images / video crisply on high-resolution panels by integrating Avieon’s Super Resolution IP on chip between the display driver and application processor. A graphics or video controller system contains several components, Avieon offers a programmable IP that provides the flexibility to the designers to easily embed it into existing systems. Avieon IP can be added to a variety of different areas in a display system such as; Display Module, Graphics Controller, Application processors and Microcontroller. This flexibility offers fast system development, enabling designers to concentrate on the application. Avieon breakthrough IP utilizes Single Frame Super Resolution along with Debluring and Skin Tone detection and correction to achieve the optimum balance of cost and performance. Single frame reduces the memory buffering and computational resources needed, since all analyzing and processing information is contained in one frame of data, compared to Multi-Frame Super Resolution, which requires external memories, which makes the solution more expensive and impractical for real time consumer applications.

The framework Avieon utilizes is based on a fresh understanding of sampling, which uses the notions of functionals and continuous dual spaces. Due to its suitability and usefulness in image processing, we employ a method that also belongs to the functional interpolation category. We decompose a local image patch into multiple components to reconstruct the discontinuities between neighboring ones, using a efficient and robust method. Our method generates SR images with good perceptual quality but requires relatively less processing time. Hence it is suitable for computation-inexpensive environments and real-time Super Resolution applications.
