  • Processing image frames in different formats with reduced memory requirements in digital still cameras
    Patent number: 8228395
    Abstract: In a digital still camera, pixel values representing an image frame in a first format are stored in a memory. The pixel values of the image frame in the first format are converted to a second format. The pixel values in the second format are stored in the memory by overwriting at least a portion of the pixel values in the first format. Memory space is thus conserved by the overwriting, thereby requiring reduced memory for storage of pixel values in the digital still camera. The minimum delay (shot to shot interval) required between user-indicated image capture instances is also reduced.
    Type: Grant
