Texture compression is a specialized form of image compression designed for storing texture maps in 3D computer graphics rendering systems. Unlike conventional image compression algorithms, texture compression algorithms are optimized for random access.
Multi-mode texture compression algorithm
A multi-mode texture compression algorithm is provided for effective compression and decompression texture data during graphics processing. Initially, a request is sent to memory for compressed texture data. Such compressed texture data is then received from the memory in response to the request. At least one of a plurality of compression algorithms associated with the compressed texture data is subsequently identified. Thereafter, the compressed texture data is decompressed in accordance with the identified compression algorithm.

High-compression texture mapping
InactiveUS20110115806A1Increase the compression ratioLow decompression timeImage codingCharacter and pattern recognitionComputer graphics (images)Compression ratio
Embodiments provide texture compression with high compression ratios and low decompression times. Some embodiments partition a texture map into texel blocks. The number of blocks is reduced until a compression threshold is reached, and the resulting blocks are stored as a codebook. An index array is generated by associating each texel block with an index and associating each index with the block in the codebook identified as a closest match to the associated texel block. The codebook may then be compressed according to a technique compatible with a GPU. In certain embodiments, to render a scene, a CPU “inflates” the texture map by copying the appropriate codebook block to each indexed block location of the texture map, as defined by the index array. Because the codebook blocks are already compressed in a format compatible with the GPU, the inflated texture map is also compatible with the GPU without further processing.

Graphics texture processing methods, apparatus and computer program products using texture compression, block overlapping and/or texture filtering
A pixel is textured by storing a first texel reference value, a second texel reference value, and texel mapping values where each texel mapping value represents a k-tuple of (ternary) references to the first texel reference value, the second texel reference value and a third texel reference value to thereby represent a block of texels. A pixel value for the pixel is generated from the stored texel values and the pixel is displayed responsive to the generated pixel value. In some embodiments, respective pluralities of texel reference values and texel mapping values that map thereto are stored for respective ones of a plurality of overlapping blocks of texels. In further embodiments, a first mipmap value for a pixel is bilinearly interpolated from the retrieved texel values for the set of nearest neighbor texels. A second mipmap value for the pixel is generated by averaging the retrieved texel values for the set of nearest neighbor texels. A pixel value for the pixel is generated by interpolating between the first and second mipmap values. The present invention may be embodied as methods, apparatus and computer program products.

A texture compression engine of a graphics device receives an uncompressed texture of a 3D graphic application. The received uncompressed texture is transcoded into an AVC reference picture stream. A plurality of mipmaps is constructed from the received uncompressed texture. The texture compression engine determines a texture compression rate based on available memory capacities. The texture compression engine compresses the received texture and its mipmaps at the determined texture compression rate. The compressed texture and mipmaps are further transcoded into the AVC reference picture stream and stored. The transcoded texture and mipmaps comprise either RGB or YCbCr components for a RGB uncompressed texture. The transcoded texture and mipmaps comprise monochrome or luma components for an ARGB uncompressed texture. A graphics accelerator in the graphics device is operable to acquire the stored texture and mipmaps for a 3D graphics scene. The acquired texture and mipmaps are decompressed by AVC decoding.

Variable-rate texture compression using fixed-rate codes
ActiveUS20160353122A1Code conversionProcessor architectures/configurationComputer graphics (images)User input
A fixed rate compressor is used to perform variable rate texture compression. A texture image is accessed. A block size used to compress the image is automatically varied over the image to achieve variable rate texture compression. The block size may be selected to reduce the compressed texture image size and adapted in local regions of the texture image based on quality considerations, such as a quality condition that an error for each block be less that a threshold error. The restriction on block size and block types may be selected to perform decompression with hardware conventionally used to perform decompression of fixed-rate blocks. The quality condition may be user-selectable by a user input to provide additional control over the tradeoffs between quality and compression.

Compression Format Conversion for Texture Data
InactiveUS20140327668A1Limited amountWithout significant loss in image display rateImage codingImage generationData displayComputer graphics (images)
A conversion between two texture compression formats comprises calculations performed at index-level for reducing handling of values with color bit-length and an amount of calculations with color values. Format conversion can thus be performed in real time upon displaying an image using the compressed texture data, without significant slowing down of a display rate of the images. It may be implemented in particular for conversion from DXT1—to ETC1 compression format, and a non-flipped or flipped orientation of an ETC1—compressed texture data block can thus be determined from said texture data block as initially compressed in DXT1 format.

A method for compressing a high dynamic range (HDR) texture. A first block of texels of the HDR texture in a red-green-blue (RGB) space may be transformed to a second block of texels in a luminance-chrominance space. The first block may have red values, green values and blue values. The second block may have luminance values and chrominance values. The chrominance values may be based on a sum of the red values, a sum of the green values and a sum of the blue values. The luminance values and the chrominance values may be converted to an 8-bit integer format. The luminance values may be modified to restore a local linearity property to the second block. The second block may be compressed.

A “texture generator” uses an inverse texture synthesis solution that runs in the opposite direction to traditional forward synthesis techniques to construct 2D texture compactions for use by a graphics processing unit (GPU) of a computer system. These small 2D texture compactions generally summarize an original globally variant texture or image, and are used to reconstruct the original texture or image, or to re-synthesize new textures or images under user-supplied constraints. In various embodiments, the texture generator uses the texture compaction to provide real-time synthesis of globally variant textures on a GPU, where texture memory is generally too small for large textures. Further, the texture generator provides an optimization framework for inverse texture synthesis which ensures that each input region is properly encoded in the output compaction. In addition, the texture generator also computes orientation fields for anisotropic textures containing both low- and high-frequency regions.
