    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: A graphics multi-media integrated circuit (GMIC) is connected to a host processor over two serial links: a half duplex bi-directional serial link which accords to a display serial interface protocol, and a uni-directional serial link which accords to a camera serial interface protocol. The GMIC receives packets from the host over the half duplex bi-directional serial link and processes these packets. The GMIC sends packets over the uni-directional serial link. A packet from the host can request a processing operation by the GMIC or can initiate a memory operation at the memory of the GMIC. The GMIC can also send packets to the host to initiate a host memory operation and may be connected to a display over a bi-directional serial link and to a camera over a uni-directional serial link and a bi-directional control link allowing the host to control the display and camera.

    Abstract: A target pixel and surrounding pixels corresponding to the target pixel are obtained from a digitally represented image. A bilateral high pass filtering kernel is determined based at least in part upon the target pixel and the surrounding pixels. A high pass spatial filtering kernel is provided and multiplied with the high pass photometric filtering kernel to provide a bilateral high pass filtering kernel. The resulting bilateral high pass filtering kernel is thereafter applied to the target pixel and the surrounding pixels to provide a filtered pixel. When it is desirable to combine noise filtering capabilities with sharpening capabilities, the bilateral high pass filter of the present invention may be combined with a bilateral low pass filtering kernel to provide a combined noise reduction and edge sharpening filter. The present invention may be advantageously applied to a variety of devices, including cellular telephones that employ image sensing technology.

    Abstract: A graphics multi-media integrated circuit (GMIC) is connected to a host processor over two serial links: a half duplex bi-directional serial link which accords to a protocol defined for a display serial interface, and a uni-directional serial link which accords to a compatible protocol defined for a camera serial interface. The GMIC receives packets according to the protocol from the host over the half duplex bi-directional serial link and processes these packets. The GMIC sends packets according to the protocol to the host over the uni-directional serial link. A packet from the host can request a processing operation by the GMIC or can initiate a memory operation at the memory of the GMIC. The GMIC can also send packets to the host to initiate a memory operation at the memory of the host. The GMIC may be connected to a display over a bi-directional serial link according to the display serial interface protocol and to a camera over a uni-directional serial link and a bi-directional control link according to the camera serial interface so that the host controls the display and camera indirectly through the GMIC.

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.

    Abstract: A buffer is associated with each of a plurality of data lanes of a multi-lane serial data bus. Data words are timed through the buffers of active ones of the data lanes. Words timed through buffers of active data lanes are merged onto a parallel bus such that data words from each of the active data lanes are merged onto the parallel bus in a pre-defined repeating sequence of data lanes. This approach allows other, non-active, data lanes to remain in a power conservation state.

    Abstract: A method of operating a shared bus comprises sending a wake-up signal on the shared bus. The wake-up signal comprises a sequence of signals, each signal of the sequence being one of a signal indicating the bus is free and a signal indicating the bus is busy. A microcontroller to effect this method is also contemplated. A wake-up device for a shared bus has a first latch to recognise a signal indicating one of said shared bus being free and said shared bus being busy and selectively output a recognition signal and a second latch to, after receipt of the recognition signal, recognise a signal indicating another of the shared bus being free and the shared bus being busy and selectively output a power-on signal. The latches may be D-type flip flops.
