Video Image Compositor (VIC)

Saw this at NVIDIA.

The Video Image Compositor (VIC) is a fixed-functionality processor in Jetson devices that is specialized for low-level image processing tasks, such as

• Rescaling
• color space conversion
• noise reduction
• Image compositing

What is the point of a VIC when you have a GPU?

Like a PVA backend, a VIC backend allows you to offload tasks from the GPU, leaving it free for other processing, if performance is not at a premium.

They say that the orin nano has this on a blog: https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/solving-entry-level-edge-ai-challenges-with-nvidia-jetson-orin-nano

Used for:

• Image Rectification
• Image downscaling
