Multifunctional image processor

Abstract

An image processor used in digital camera unit, includes a LCD interface connected with LCD module, the image processor can implement controlling the LCD module and data transmitting with LCD module through this LCD interface. The channel formed between LCD interface and host interface of connecting module of host machine is a transparent channel, the host machine module is connected with LCD module ; the said image processor also includes a independent MCU (micro control unit), when this image processor is used in a independent digital camera, this MCU can be a replacement of main control unit in host machine. It also can used in the mobile communication terminal with video capture, and no need to take a big change.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an image processor used in a digital camera device, in particular to a multifunctional image processor which can be used not only in a mobile communication terminal with a digital camera device but also in an independent digital camera. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of digital image technology, various digital camera or image processing products have generally entered the lives of ordinary people. As the core technology of the digital image field, there are many types of image processors, and their functions are also increasingly enhanced. [0003] There are not only image processors for individual digital cameras, but also image processors for mobile communication terminals with embedded cameras such as mobile phones or personal handheld computers. It can not only help mobile phones to display images, but also Capable of image acquisition and multimedia communication through...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] The image processor used on a separate digital camera and the image processor used on a mobile communication terminal with a mosaic camera cannot be easily interchanged and universally used, and manufacturers of digital products often need to adopt different The image processor is used in different products. When one image processor is used in another product, it usually needs to be changed quite a lot, which brings extreme inconvenience.

[0006] In addition, image processors used in mobile phones with cameras have additional disadvantages: figure 1 It is a structural block diagram of a mobile phone with an image processor in the prior art, which usually uses a baseband module 30' to control the operation of the camera module 20' and the LCD module 10'

Moreover, the realization of each process also requires the main controller in the baseband module 30' to carry out control and coordination, and the image processor in the camera module 20' does not play too much effect, which undoubtedly increases the burden of the baseband module 30'. burden, causing the load of the baseband module to be too large; and because the image captured by the camera module 20' needs to be transmitted to the LCD module 10' after passing through the baseband module 30', there is a gap between the image displayed on the LCD module 10' and the actual picture. There is a delay of a few frames

[0007] The existence of these defects makes the above-mentioned devices unable to achieve satisfactory results in actual operation, so a new image processor solution is required
