Abstract: An image processing pipeline may dynamically determine filtering strengths for noise filtering of image data. Statistics may be collected for an image at an image processing pipeline. The statistics may be accessed and evaluated to generate a filter strength model that maps respective filtering strengths to different portions of the image. A noise filter may determine a filtering strength for image data received at the noise filter according to the filter strength model. The noise filter may then apply a filtering technique according to the determined filtering strength.

Abstract: In an embodiment, an electronic device may be configured to capture still frames during video capture but may capture the still frames in the 4×3 aspect ratio and at higher resolution than the 16×9 aspect ratio video frames. The device may interleave high resolution, 4×3 frames and lower resolution 16×9 frames in the video sequence, and may capture the nearest higher resolution, 4×3 frame when the user indicates the capture of a still frame. Alternatively, the device may display 16×9 frames in the video sequence, and then expand to 4×3 frames when a shutter button is pressed. The device may capture the still frame and return to the 16×9 video frames responsive to a release of the shutter button.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a configurable convolution engine that receives configuration information to perform convolution or its variant operations on streaming input data of various formats. To process streaming input data, input data of multiple channels are received and stored in an input buffer circuit in an interleaved manner. Data values of the interleaved input data are retrieved and forwarded to multiplier circuits where multiplication with a corresponding filter element of a kernel is performed. Varying number of kernels with different sizes and sparsity can also be used for the convolution operations.

Abstract: An image signal processor may include a pixel defect correction component that tracks defect history for frames captured by an image sensor and applies the history when identifying and correcting defective pixels in a frame. The component maintains a defect pixel location table that includes a defect confidence value for pixels of the image sensor. The component identifies defective pixels in a frame, for example by comparing each pixel's value to the values of its neighbor pixels. If a pixel is detected as defective, its defect confidence value may be incremented. Otherwise, the value may be decremented. If a pixel's defect confidence value is over a defect confidence threshold, the pixel is considered defective and thus may be corrected. If a pixel's defect confidence value is under the threshold, the pixel is considered not defective and thus may not be corrected even if the pixel was detected as defective.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to highlight recovery of a high-resolution image using a single low-resolution image captured at a lower exposure. An example apparatus includes a hue target circuit that receives an input image at a high-resolution including at least one pixel with a clipped color channel. For example, the input image is a Blue sky image with a pixel having clipped Blue channel. The hue target circuit also receives a set of candidate hue maps having a pixel resolution lower than the high-resolution of the input image. The hue target circuit generates a target hue value for the at least one pixel using the pixel information of the set of candidate hue maps. The apparatus also includes a hue recovery circuit that generates a recovered version of the input image by adjusting hue information of the clipped color channel based on the generated target hue.

Abstract: An image processing pipeline may apply chroma suppression to image data at a scaler implemented in the image processing pipeline. Image data collected for an image may be received at a scaler that is encoded in a color space that includes a luminance component and chrominance components. When resampling the image data to generate a different size of the image, the scaler may attenuate the chrominance components of the image data according to the luminance component of the image data. The scaler may also perform dot error correction and convert the image data from one subsampling scheme to another.
