Abstract
A method of operating a line buffer controller includes receiving pieces of line image data included in an image frame, and, when all pieces of line image data included in the image frame are received, performing a drain operation on the image frame based on a maximum standby count of the image frame.
Claims18
A method of operating a line buffer controller, the method comprising:
- receiving line image data included in an image frame;
- and
- performing a drain operation on the image frame based on a maximum standby count of the image frame, after the line image data are received
- wherein the performing of the drain operation comprises:
- based on the maximum standby count of the image frame corresponding to a predetermined base value, and the line image data being received, continuously performing the drain operation on end line image data of the image frame.
2 more elements
A line buffer controller configured to:
- receive line image data included in an image frame, and
- perform a drain operation on the image frame based on a maximum standby count of the image frame, after the line image data are received
- wherein the line buffer controller further configured to:
- based on the maximum standby count of the image frame exceeding a predetermined base value, and a standby count of the image frame reaching the maximum standby count, perform the drain operation on end line image data of the image frame.
1 more element
An image processing device comprising:
- a line interleaving controller configured to receive line image data included in a plurality of image frames and output the line image data in a time division multiplexing (TDM) method;
- a line buffer controller configured to receive first line image data included in a first image frame of the plurality of image frames, and perform a drain operation on the first image frame based on a maximum standby count of the first image frame;
- and
- a processor configured to perform image signal process in line units on the first line image data to which the drain operation has been performed by the line buffer controller
- wherein the line buffer controller is further configured to:
- for processing first end line image data among the first line image data of the first image frame, generate a sync signal and first additional line image data based on line delay required for processing the first image frame.
