    Abstract: Local automatic white balance (AWB) of wide dynamic range (WDR) images is provided. Methods and systems include collecting, by an image signal processor (ISP), statistics for local AWB from at least one wide dynamic range (WDR) image received by the ISP; generating, by a processor, based on the statistics, local gain lookup tables (LUTs), one for each color channel represented in the WDR image(s), each local gain LUT providing a correlation between gain and intensity; and storing the local gain LUTs. Further processing includes, for each of multiple pixels of a WDR image to be output calculating an intensity value, accessing the local gain LUT for the color channel corresponding to that pixel using the calculated intensity value to identify a corresponding local gain value, and applying the local gain value to that pixel.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit includes: a local memory; and a first processing circuit coupled to the local memory. The first processing component is configured to: receive a first set of image data; perform a first image processing operation on the first set of image data to produce a second set of image data; and store at least some of the second set of image data into the local memory. The integrated circuit also includes a second processing circuit coupled to the local memory and configured to: receive at least some of the second set of image data from the local memory; and perform a second image processing operation on the second set of image data to produce a third set of image data.

    Abstract: Disclosed examples include integrated circuits, merge circuits and methods of processing multiple-exposure image data, in which a single pre-processing circuit is used for pre-processing first input exposure data associated with a first exposure of the image, and then for pre-processing second input exposure data associated with a second exposure of the image, and the first and second pre-processed exposure data are merged to generate merged image data for tone mapping and other post-processing. An example merge circuit includes a configurable gain circuit to apply a gain to the first and/or second exposure data, as well as a configurable weighting circuit with a weight calculation circuit and a motion adaptive filter circuit to compute a first and second weight values for merging the pre-processed first and second exposure data.

    Abstract: A processing accelerator includes a shared memory, and a stream accelerator, a memory-to-memory accelerator, and a common DMA controller coupled to the shared memory. The stream accelerator is configured to process a real-time data stream, and to store stream accelerator output data generated by processing the real-time data stream in the shared memory. The memory-to-memory accelerator is configured to retrieve input data from the shared memory, to process the input data, and to store, in the shared memory, memory-to-memory accelerator output data generated by processing the input data. The common DMA controller is configured to retrieve stream accelerator output data from the shared memory and transfer the stream accelerator output data to memory external to the processing accelerator; and to retrieve the memory-to-memory accelerator output data from the shared memory and transfer the memory-to-memory accelerator output data to memory external to the processing accelerator.
