Abstract: A system and method for processing an input image provide for cropping of the input image when the input image is larger, in a process direction, than an output image to be generated from the input image. The method includes determining a first location within the input image corresponding to a first line of the output image to be generated and instructing a Direct Memory Access (DMA) controller to begin reading the input image at the first location, without reading at least some of the preceding image data. The DMA controller reads image data of the input image from data memory starting at the first location. Image data read by the DMA controller from the data memory starting at the first location is received by a crop component and the output image is generated from the image data received.

Abstract: A scanner calibration system is provided. The scanner calibration system includes memory configured in a format to store therein encoded gain and offset parameters. Such a configuration reduces the amount of required memory for the scanner calibration system without a compromise of performance.
