2.3

Smart imaging accelerator (SIA)

The smart imaging accelerator is provided by the image preprocessing module of the SVA.

This flexible imaging engine provides real-time, programmable image processing, and

features:

●

Shot-to-shot performance (with CMOS sensor):

–

3 Mpixel, up to 15 image/s,

–

5 Mpixel, up to 9 image/s.

●

Direct support for smart sensors (CMOS/CCD modules), unlimited resolution (YUV

input with JPEG compression).

●

Image reconstruction up to 80 Mpixel/s with raw Bayer input.

●

With shutter, maximum sensor resolution depends on external SDRAM size and on

target shot-to-shot delay.

●

Auto-focus control, auto exposure control.

●

Automatic white balance, contrast enhancement, brightness control.

●

On-the-fly zoom, flash-gun control.

●

Noise reduction, gamma correction, image sharpening.

●

Ultra-low power implementation.

2.4
