Abstract
An image sensor system with an image sensor that generates a first image and a second image. The first and second images are transmitted to a processor in a time overlapping manner. By way of example, the images may be transferred to the processor in an interleaving manner or provided on separate dedicated busses.
Claims34
An image sensor system, comprising:
- an image sensor that generates a first image and a second image, said image sensor transmits the first image and the second image in a time overlapping manner;
- and,
- a processor coupled to said image sensor and receives the first and second images in the time overlapping manner.
An image sensor system, comprising:
- image sensor means for generating and transmitting a first image and a second image in a time overlapping manner;
- and,
- processor means for receiving the first and second images in the time overlapping manner and processing the first and second images.
A method for transferring a first image and a second image, comprising:
- generating a first image from a pixel array of an image sensor;
- generating a second image from the pixel array;
- transferring the first and second images from the image sensor to a processor in a time overlapping manner;
- transferring at least the first image to a memory device.
A processor that is coupled to an image sensor that transmits a first image and a second image, comprising:
- a processor that receives the first image and the second image in a time overlapping manner.
A processor that is coupled to an image sensor that transmits a first image and a second image, comprising:
- processor means for receiving the first image and the second image in a time overlapping manner.
A computer program storage medium that can cause a processor to receive a first image and a second image from an image sensor, comprising:
- a computer readable storage medium that contains a program which causes a processor to receive a first image and a second image from an image sensor in a time overlapping manner.
