Abstract: Embodiments relate to a front-end scaler circuit configured to receive and process demosaiced image data in different modes depending on if the demosaiced image data was demosaiced from Bayer or Quad Bayer raw image data. The front-end scaler circuit shares memory with a demosaicing circuit, and is configured to perform different operations that use different amounts of the shared memory based on the original image format of the demosaiced image data being processed, to compensate for additional memory utilized by the demosaicing circuit when demosaicing certain types of image data. For example, when processing image data demosaiced from Quad Bayer image data, the front-end scaler circuit discards a portion of the chrominance component data for the received image data before performing chromatic suppression, compared to when processing image data demosaiced from Bayer image data.
