  • Image-processing microprocessor for supporting an application processor and multiple cameras
    Patent number: 11528400
    Abstract: An image-processing unit for an electronic device is disclosed. The image-processing unit may include a digital signal processor (DSP), a first control interface configured for receiving an AP-instruction from an application processor (AP) external to the image-processing unit, and a second control interface configured for transmitting an intermediary-instruction generated by DSP based on the AP-instruction. The image-processing unit may further include a first data interface configured for receiving sensor-data generated in response to the intermediary-instruction by a sensor external to the image-processing unit, and a second data interface configured for bi-directionally transmitting intermediary-data to the AP or receiving AP-data from the AP, wherein the intermediary-data is generated by the DSP based on the sensor-data.
