Abstract

The invention discloses a system and a method for processing image data using an image signal processor. Disclosed embodiments provide for a an image signal processing system (32) that includes back-end pixel processing unit (120) that receives pixel data after being processed by at least one of a front-end pixel processing unit (80) and a pixel processing pipeline (82). In certain embodiments, the back-end processing unit (120) receives luma/chroma image data and may be configured to apply face detection operations, local tone mapping, bright, contrast, color adjustments, as well as scaling. Further, the back-end processing unit (120) may also include a back-end statistics unit (2208) that may collect frequency statistics. The frequency statistics may be provided to an encoder (118) and may be used to determine quantization parameters that are to be applied to an image frame.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to digital imaging devices and, more particularly, to systems and methods for processing image data obtained using an image sensor of a digital imaging device. Background technique [0002] This Background section is intended to introduce the reader to various aspects of art that may be related to various aspects of the inventive technology that are described and / or claimed below. It is believed that the following discussion helps to provide the reader with background information to facilitate a better understanding of various aspects of the present disclosure. Accordingly, it should be understood that these statements are to be read in this light, and not as admissions of prior art. [0003] In recent years, digital imaging devices have become increasingly popular due at least in part to the increasing affordability of digital imaging devices to the average consumer. Furthermore, in addition to the many stand...
