    Abstract: A method of de-mosaicing pixel data from an image processor includes generating a pixel block that includes a plurality of image pixels. The method also includes determining a first image gradient between a first set of pixels of the pixel block and a second image gradient between a second set of pixels of the pixel block. The method also includes determining a first adaptive threshold value based on intensity of a third set of pixels of the pixel block. The pixels of the third set of pixels are adjacent to one another. The method also includes filtering the pixel block in a vertical, horizontal, or neutral direction based on the first and second image gradients and the first adaptive threshold value utilizing a plurality of FIR filters to generate a plurality of component images.

    Abstract: Disclosed examples include integrated circuits, merge circuits and methods of processing multiple-exposure image data, in which a single pre-processing circuit is used for pre-processing first input exposure data associated with a first exposure of the image, and then for pre-processing second input exposure data associated with a second exposure of the image, and the first and second pre-processed exposure data are merged to generate merged image data for tone mapping and other post-processing. An example merge circuit includes a configurable gain circuit to apply a gain to the first and/or second exposure data, as well as a configurable weighting circuit with a weight calculation circuit and a motion adaptive filter circuit to compute a first and second weight values for merging the pre-processed first and second exposure data.

    Abstract: An image processor capable of processing wide-dynamic-range (WDR) image data using a native 12-bit image pipe. In one embodiment, the processor receives compressed wide-dynamic-range image data from a WDR image sensor. The compressed wide-dynamic-range image data is decompanded. Long-exposure image data is then extracted from the decompanded image data, and pre-processing is performed on the long-exposure image data. Short-exposure image data is also extracted from the decompanded image data, and pre-processing is performed on the short-exposure image data. The pre-processed long-exposure image data is merged with the pre-processed short-exposure image data. Tone mapping is performed on the merged image data.

    Abstract: Local automatic white balance (AWB) of wide dynamic range (WDR) images is provided. Methods and systems include collecting, by an image signal processor (ISP), statistics for local AWB from at least one wide dynamic range (WDR) image received by the ISP; generating, by a processor, based on the statistics, local gain lookup tables (LUTs), one for each color channel represented in the WDR image(s), each local gain LUT providing a correlation between gain and intensity; and storing the local gain LUTs. Further processing includes, for each of multiple pixels of a WDR image to be output calculating an intensity value, accessing the local gain LUT for the color channel corresponding to that pixel using the calculated intensity value to identify a corresponding local gain value, and applying the local gain value to that pixel.
