    摘要: A central processor unit (CPU) is connected to a system/graphics controller generally comprising a monolithic semiconductor device. The system/graphics controller is connected to an input output (IO) controller via a high-speed PCI bus. The IO controller interfaces to the system graphics controller via the high-speed PCI bus. The IO controller includes a lower speed PCI port controlled by an arbiter within the IO controller. Generally, the low speed PCI arbiter of the IO controller will interface to standard 33 MHz PCI cards. In addition, the IO controller interfaces to an external storage device, such as a hard drive, via either a standard or a proprietary bus protocol. A unified system/graphics memory which is accessed by the system/graphics controller. The unified memory contains both system data and graphics data. In a specific embodiment, two channels, CH0 and CH1 access the unified memory. Each channel is capable of accessing a portion of memory containing graphics data or a portion of memory containing system data.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for storing sequential data words associated with a block of data in a non-linear manner within the data block is taught such that any row or column associated with the data block may be accessed using a burst access. A row, or column of data accessed by a burst frees up instruction bandwidth of a video controller. In particular, it is assured that each row and column of data associated with the data block has at least one sequential pair of data words associated with it. By assuring at least one sequential pair of data words, it is possible to issue a burst request for a minimum of two words of data with each row access, or column access of the video controller.

    摘要: A technique for processing at least one bad pixel occurring in an image sensing system is provided. Dynamic bad pixel detection is performed on a plurality of streaming pixels taking from at least one controlled image and value and coordinate information for each bad pixel is subsequently stored as stored bad pixel information. Thereafter, static bad pixel correction may be performed based on the stored bad pixel information. The stored bad pixel information may be verified based on histogram analysis performed on the plurality of streaming pixels. The technique for processing bad pixels in accordance with the present invention may be embodied in suitable circuitry or, more broadly, within devices incorporating image sensing systems.

    摘要: To derive a Hamming code to manage data errors a set of at least four parity bit positions is selected for parity bits which will protect a set of data bits (where each data bit has a data bit position in the data bit set). A syndrome is determined for each data bit position. This involves selecting a unique sub-set of at least three parity bit positions. The unique sub-set shares at least one parity bit position with at least one other unique sub-set of at least three parity bit positions. A parity bit value may then be calculated for each parity bit position based on the determined syndromes. The header of a packet may be provided with a word which defines the length of the packet and an error management code generated utilizing this word so that errors in the word may be detected and, possibly, corrected.

    摘要: Described herein are methods, systems and apparatus to improve imaging sensor production yields. In one method, a stereoscopic image sensor pair is provided from a manufacturing line. One or more images of a correction pattern are captured by the image sensor pair. Correction angles of the sensor pair are determined based on the images of the correction pattern. The correction angles of the sensor pair are represented graphically in a three dimensional space. Analysis of the graphical representation of the correction angles through statistical processing results in a set of production correction parameters that may be input into a manufacturing line to improve sensor pair yields.
