    摘要: An image processing apparatus and a processing method thereof are provided. The image processing apparatus includes an image capturing module, an image separation module, an image stabilization module, a temporal noise reduction module, and a spatial noise reduction module. The image capturing module captures a plurality of Bayer pattern images. The image separation module decreases the Bayer pattern images in size and transforms them into a plurality of YCbCr format images. The image stabilization module receives Y channel images of the YCbCr format images and the Bayer pattern images to perform motion estimation, to produce a plurality of global motion vectors (GMVs). The temporal noise reduction module performs temporal blending process on the Bayer pattern images according to the GMVs, to produce first noise reduction images. The spatial noise reduction module performs 2-dimensional spatial noise reduction on the first noise reduction images to produce second noise reduction images.

    摘要: A method for predicting the quantity of pictures that can be taken is applied to a picture-taking function of a digital still camera. Firstly, a lookup table is individually built for different power using operations of a battery according to the operational modes of the picture-taking function. Next, the method looks up the corresponding lookup table according to an obtained battery voltage value of the digital still camera and the operational mode. Finally, a quantity of pictures that can be taken is obtained from the lookup table, and is displayed on a display unit of the digital still camera and is provided to the user. Thereby, the user can change the operational mode to reduce power consumption and take more pictures.

    摘要: A method for dynamically adjusting video frame is adapted to store video data to a cache memory with a plurality of registers. The method comprises the steps: first, receiving the video data and compressing the video frames; next, obtaining a first usage level of the cache memory; next, gathering statistics regarding the amount of registers that have been set at an indicating status in the circular queue; next, calculating a second usage level of the cache memory according to the amount of the indicating status; next, adjusting the size of the video frames by comparing the difference between the second usage level and the first usage level; and finally, storing the video data to the cache memory according to the size of the video frames. Thereby, all of the space of the cache memory is used fully to extend video recording time.
