    Abstract: Frames from an image stream or streams are processed by independently operating digital signal processors (DSPs), with only frame checking microprocessors operating in a lockstep mode. In one example, two DSP are operating on alternate frames. Each DSP processes the frames and produces prediction values for the next frame. The lockstep microprocessors develop their own next frame prediction. The lockstep processors compare issued frames and previously developed predicted frames for consistency. If the predictions are close enough, the issued frame passes the test. The lockstep processors then compare the issued frame to the preceding two frames for a similar consistency check. If the prior frames are also close enough, the issued frame is acceptable. In another example, hardware checkers are provided to compare the present frame with a larger number of prior frames. The hardware checkers provide comparison results to the lockstep processors to compare against allowable variation limits.

    Abstract: A reconfigurable image processing pipeline includes an image signal processor (ISP), a control processor, and a local memory. ISP processes raw pixel data for a frame based on an image processing parameter and provides lines of processed pixel data to control processor via a first interface. For each region of interest (ROI) in the frame, ISP generates auto-exposure and auto-white balance (2A) statistics based on the lines for the ROI and writes them to the local memory via a second interface. Control processor reads 2A statistics from the local memory, determines the image processing parameter based on them, and provides the image processing parameter to ISP. ISP also generates an integer N bin histogram for control processor, which sums a portion of the N total bins and compares the summed bin count to a lighting transition threshold. The image processing parameter is further based on the comparison.
