Abstract: An image capture system including a statistics module. An image processing module is configured to receive image data corresponding to a plurality of pixels of a captured image, wherein the image data includes respective locations of each of the plurality of pixels, and implement an image processing pipeline configured to modified image data. The statistics module is configured to gather a plurality of sets of statistics using the image data and the modified image data, each of the sets of statistics corresponding to a different one of a plurality of zones within the captured image. To gather the statistics, the statistics module is further configured to determine, based on the respective location of a first pixel, a first zone of the plurality of zones that the first pixel is located in, and store data in a corresponding set of statistics for the first pixel based on the determined first zone.

Abstract: An integrated circuit comprises a main bus, one or more integrated processors, an external bus interface, memory, internal bus controller, a signal analyzer, timers, reset/clock generator, radio controller, optional data converters, and optional radio. The signal analyzer performs both time-domain and frequency-domain analysis of the input signal and supplies data to the one or more integrated processors for signal classification.

Abstract: A system includes a block module, a zone module, a statistics module, and a control module. The block module is configured to associate pixel values generated by pixel sensors of an image sensor with M regions. The zone module is configured to define N zones in the M regions. Each of the N zones includes an adjustable number of the M regions. N and M are integers greater than one and N is less than or equal to M. The statistics module is configured to gather statistics corresponding to the N zones. The control module is configured to adjust pixel values generated by the pixel sensors based on the statistics.

Abstract: Apparatus, methods, and other embodiments associated with repairing defective pixels are described. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes pixel defect logic configured to retrieve pixel repair information associated with at least one defective sensor of an array of photo sensors. Pixel replication logic is configured to repair defective pixels in a stream of image pixels based, at least in part, on the pixel repair information.
