  • Process and system for processing signals arranged in a bayer pattern
    Patent number: 7733396
    Abstract: Digital video signals, such as the signals generated by an image sensor in a Bayer format, are converted into an encoded format. In the Bayer format, the pixels of each line are alternately coded with two colors, and then converted into the encoded format. In the encoded format, the pixels of the digital video signals are reordered into sets of adjacent pixels, such that the sets group pixels coded with the same color. The encoded signal data results in a reduced switching activity when transmitted over a bus.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: June 8, 2010
    Assignee: STMicroelectronics S.R.L.
