AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In cloud gaming scenarios, the decoding latency of chip decoders leads to a decline in the gaming experience, and existing technologies struggle to effectively reduce decoding latency.

Method used

When performing image processing on a terminal or cloud server, N intermediate images are inserted between two adjacent frames through frame interpolation to generate multiple consecutive second images. The value of N is determined based on the number of images in the decoding buffer to shorten the decoding time.

Benefits of technology

By interpolating frames, the single-frame decoding latency is reduced, improving the real-time performance of image processing and the efficiency of decoder output, thus enhancing the quality of cloud gaming experience.

Abstract

The application discloses an image processing method, device and equipment, which can be applied to various scenes such as image processing, games and game basic technology. The method comprises the following steps: when a decoding cache image exists in a terminal, performing an interpolation operation on continuous multiple first images to generate continuous multiple second images, the interpolation operation comprises inserting N intermediate images between any two adjacent first images, the intermediate images are generated according to the first images, the decoding cache image is an image cached in a decoder of the terminal, and the value of N is determined according to the number of the decoding cache image; and decoding the second images. In the embodiment of the application, when the decoder decodes, after one first image is input into the decoder, N adjacent intermediate images are input into the decoder as decoding cache images. Since the intermediate images are generated according to the first images, the decoding time required by the intermediate images is short, so that the first image can be quickly output from the decoder, and the single-frame decoding delay can be reduced.
