    Patent number: 7489799
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing raw image data to create processed images. Raw image data is acquired. The raw image data is decomposed by a data decomposer into N subsets of raw image data. The number N is based on a number of available image generation processors. The N subsets of raw image data are processed by at least one image generation processor to create processed image data. If more than one image generation processor is available, the image generation processors perform image processing on the raw image data in parallel with respect to each other.
