    Abstract: A foveated down sampling and correction (FDS-C) circuit for combined down sampling and correction of chromatic aberrations in images. The FDS-C circuit performs down sampling and interpolation of pixel values of a first subset of pixels of a color in a raw image using down sampling scale factors and first interpolation coefficients to generate first corrected pixel values for pixels of the color in a first corrected version of the raw image. The FDS-C circuit further performs interpolation of pixel values of a second subset of the pixels in the first corrected version using second interpolation coefficients to generate second corrected pixel values for pixels of the color in a second corrected version of the raw image. Pixels in the first subset are arranged in a first direction, pixels in the second subset are arranged in a second direction, and the down sampling scale factors vary along the first direction.

    Abstract: Embodiments relate to a multi-mode demosaicing circuit able to receive and demosaic image data in a different raw image formats, such as Bayer raw image format and Quad Bayer raw image format. The multi-mode demosaicing circuit demosaics Quad Bayer image data by interpolating a green channel of the image data along each of a plurality of directions, generating a gradient of the image data along each of the plurality of directions, modifying the interpolated green channels based on respective gradients to generate full-resolution green channel image data, which is combined with red and blue image data to generate the demosaiced image data. Interpolation is performed for non-green pixels based on neighboring green pixels along a specified direction, modified by a residual value based upon values of one or more nearby same-color pixels and a correlation between values of the same-color pixels and neighboring green pixels.

    Abstract: A foveated down sampling (FDS) circuit for down sampling of pixels in images. The FDS circuit down samples a first subset of pixels of a same color in an image using first scaling factors to generate first down sampled pixels in a first down sampled version of the image. The FDS circuit further down samples a second subset of the first down sampled pixels of the same color using second scaling factors to generate second down sampled pixels of the same color in a second down sampled version of the image. Pixels from the first subset are arranged in a first direction, and pixels from the second subset are arranged in a second direction.
