    摘要: Aspects relate to an image signal processor that processes frames from different image sensors. An example device includes a memory and an image signal processor coupled to the memory. The image signal processor is configured to provide a first trigger to a first image sensor (the first image sensor being coupled to the image signal processor), receive a first frame from the first image sensor at a first time in response to the first trigger being received by the first image sensor, process the first frame, provide a second trigger to the second image sensor (the second image sensor being coupled to the image signal processor), receive a second frame from the second image sensor at a second time in response to the second trigger being received by the second image sensor (with the second time subsequent to the first time), and process the second frame.

    摘要: Techniques and systems are provided for processing image data. For example, an image signal processor can obtain (e.g., from a host processor) a first setting change indicator value indicating a change in parameter settings of the image signal processor. The image signal processor can obtain an image frame from an image sensor, and can determine a second setting change indicator value from the image frame. The second setting change indicator value can be provided to the image sensor from the host processor. The second setting change indicator value indicates a change in parameter settings of the image sensor. The image signal processor can compare the first setting change indicator value to the second setting change indicator value, and can determine whether to process the image frame or to drop the image frame based on comparing the first setting change indicator value to the second setting change indicator value.

    摘要: Aspects relate to an image signal processor that processes frames at changing frame rates. An example method includes receiving, by an image signal processor, a first sequence of image frames from an image sensor at a first frame rate, processing each image frame of the first sequence of image frames at the first frame rate, and receiving from the image sensor an indication of a frame rate change from the first frame rate to a second frame rate. The method also includes configuring one or more filters of the image signal processor to process image frames from the image sensor in response to receiving the indication of the frame rate change from the image sensor, receiving a second sequence of image frames from the image sensor at the second frame rate, and processing each image frame of the second sequence of image frames at the second frame rate.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and devices for image processing are described. A device may include a plurality of buffer components, each of which may receive a pixel lines that may each be associated with a respective raw image. An arbitration component of the device may combine at least some of the pixel lines into one or more data packets. The arbitration component may pass, using an arbitration scheme such as a time division multiplexing scheme, the one or more data packets from the arbitration component to a shared image signal processor (ISP) of the device. The shared ISP may generate a respective processed image based at least in part on the one or more data packets. In some examples, the device may maintain a respective set of image statistics, registers, and the like for at least some of the raw images.
