A penny saved is a penny earned
This type of frame serves as a reset point for the decoder.
IDR frame
What is the name of the filter used to smooth an image?
Gaussian filter
Who invented the technique to break any signal into a series of sine waves of different frequencies?
Joseph Fourier
What is the data structure, in Linux, who stores file meta data?
Inode
What is the first Nvidia GPU architecture to support ray tracing?
Turing
A commonly used image compression algorithm. It exploits low sensitivity of human eyes to low contrast signal at high frequency.
JPEG
What is the process called which groups pixels belonging to the same object in an image?
Image segmentation
What is this effect called when different signals become indistinguishable when the sampling frequency is too low?
Aliasing
What is the strategy called which make child process share the same memory space as parent until modification occurs?
Lazy Evaluation
When was the Geforce branding first introduced?
1993
This step in the encoding process that resamples data with less bits. This step introduces information loss.
Quantization
What are the primary colors of pigment? They are what the CMY color model is based on.
cyan, magenta, and yellow
To avoid aliasing, sampling frequency has to be two times that of the signal? What is such sampling frequency called?
Nyquist frequency
What data structure does the Completely Fair Scheduler in Linux kernel use to maintain task execution orders?
Red Black Tree
What Nvidia's autonomous vehicle platform called?
NVIDIA DRIVE AGX
What is the term for the difference between a frame and its estimated next frame in the encoding process.
DFD (Displaced Frame Difference)
What is the method used to determine object motion between two consecutive frames based on pixel displacement from the object?
Optical Flow method
What is the technique to glide one signal across another while multiplying their values? It is used to measure similarity of the two signals.
Cross-correlation
What is the memory allocator in Linux kernel that pre-allocates memory for frequently used data-structure, and reuses these allocation for same structures in the future?
Slab allocator
What as the first quad-core ARM processor to be used in smartphones?
Tegra 3
An encoder model that encodes prediction error using Pulse-Code Modulation. It is what most common encoders are based on.
Differential Pulse-Code Modulation
What is the algorithm to identify same keypoints of an object across different images regardless of shift, rotation and scaling. Invented by David Lowe in 1999.
SIFT
What is the technique to glide a flipped version of a signal across another while multiplying their values? It is commonly used to apply filters to a signal.
Convolution
Who is the author of DOS?
Tim Paterson
Which restaurant was Nvidia dreamt in?
Denny's
