Intel Prepares For New Adaptive Sharpening Filter Coming With Lunar Lake's Xe2 Graphics - Phoronix

www.phoronix.com

The patch series sent out by Intel engineer Nemesa Garg is summed up in the patch cover letter as:

"Many a times images are blurred or upscaled content is also not as crisp as original rendered image. Traditional sharpening techniques often apply a uniform level of enhancement across entire image, which sometimes result in over-sharpening of some areas and potential loss of natural details.

Intel has come up with Display Engine based adaptive sharpening filter with minimal power and performance impact. From LNL onwards, the Display hardware can use one of the pipe scaler for adaptive sharpness filter. This can be used for both gaming and non-gaming use cases like photos, image viewing. It works on a region of pixels depending on the tap size.

This RFC is an attempt to introduce an adaptive sharpness solution which helps in improving the image quality. For this new CRTC property is added. The user can set this property with desired sharpness strength value with 0-255. A value of 1 representing minimum sharpening strength and 255 representing maximum sharpness strength. A strength value of 0 means no sharpening or sharpening feature disabled. It works on a region of pixels depending on the tap size. The coefficients are used to generate an alpha value which is used to blend the sharpened image to original image.

Userspace implementation for sharpening feature and IGT implementation is in progress."

Do we know when their next GPUs are coming? Their first batch was much better than I think anyone expected and are very promisingbut clearly needed some more work.
