Patent number: 10445851Abstract: An image processing apparatus is provided. The image processing apparatus includes a memory, a first image processor configured to perform a first image processing operation on image data to generate first data, and a second image processor configured to perform a second image processing operation on the first data to generate second data. In a first operation mode, the first data is directly transferred from the first image processor to the second image processor. When the first operation mode is changed to a second operation mode, the first data is transferred from the first image processor to the second image processor via the memory.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2016Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.Inventor: Yong-Bae Song

Patent number: 10277807Abstract: Provided are an image device and method for operating the device. The image device includes a memory, a first image processor configured to receive image data that includes first and second sub-data, perform first image processing, and write a result of the first image processing to the memory, a second image processor configured to read the first and second sub-data, on which the first image processing has been performed, from the memory, and perform second image processing that is different from the first image processing, and a controller configured to control the second image processor to read the first sub-data, on which the first image processing has been performed, from the memory, before the second sub-data, on which the first image processing has been performed, is written in the memory, after the first sub-data, on which the first image processing has been performed, is written in the memory.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2017Date of Patent: April 30, 2019Assignee: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.Inventor: Yong-Bae Song

Patent number: 9232125Abstract: A method of reducing shutter-lag in a camera image sensor may include maintaining a sensor output image to have a low resolution in a preview mode of a camera image sensor; changing a resolution of the sensor output image from a low resolution to a high resolution in response to a capture preparation signal to change an operation mode of the camera image sensor from a preview mode to a capture preparation mode, the low resolution being a resolution equal to or below a reference resolution, the high resolution being a resolution above the reference resolution; and capturing the sensor output image in response to a capture signal in the capture preparation mode of the camera image sensor.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2012Date of Patent: January 5, 2016Assignee: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.Inventor: Yong-Bae Song

Patent number: 8868128Abstract: Image display systems include a first memory, a memory controller and a device driver. The controller is configured to generate an interrupt signal in response to a command to write first image data into a first range of addresses within the first memory, which at least partially overlaps with a reference range of addresses. The device driver is configured to read the first image data from the first memory in response to the interrupt signal.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2012Date of Patent: October 21, 2014Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventor: Yong-Bae Song
