Publication number: 20190313026Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for image processing are described. A device may include a plurality of buffer components, each of which may receive a pixel lines that may each be associated with a respective raw image. An arbitration component of the device may combine at least some of the pixel lines into one or more data packets. The arbitration component may pass, using an arbitration scheme such as a time division multiplexing scheme, the one or more data packets from the arbitration component to a shared image signal processor (ISP) of the device. The shared ISP may generate a respective processed image based at least in part on the one or more data packets. In some examples, the device may maintain a respective set of image statistics, registers, and the like for at least some of the raw images.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 9, 2018Publication date: October 10, 2019Inventors: Scott Cheng, Chih-Chi Cheng, Pawan Kumar Baheti, Michael Lee Coulter, Maulesh Patel, John Welch, Krishnam Indukuri
