Dual video pipe with overlap filtering

A method comprising:

• receiving image information related to a first plurality of pixels at a first data pathway;
• receiving image information related to a second plurality of pixels at a second data pathway;
• performing image processing using image information related to the shared plurality of pixels;
• and
• combining data output from the first and second data pathways into a stream of data where stream output is generated using a first clock frequency which is substantially the same as that used in the first and second data pathways, wherein the first plurality of pixels and the second plurality of pixels comprises a shared plurality of pixels.

An apparatus comprising:

• a first data pathway configured to receive image information related to a first plurality of pixels;
• and
• a second data pathway configured to receive image information related to a second plurality of pixels at a second data pathway;
• an image processor configured to perform image processing using image information related to the shared plurality of pixels, and to combine data output from said first and second data pathways into a stream of data where stream output is generated using a first clock frequency which is substantially the same as that used in said first and second data pathways, wherein the first plurality of pixels and the second plurality of pixels comprises a shared plurality of pixels.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having executable instructions that when executed are configured to cause one or more processors to:

• receive image information related to a first plurality of pixels at a first data pathway;
• receive image information related to a second plurality of pixels at a second data pathway;
• and
• combine data output from the first and second data pathways into a stream of data where stream output is generated using a first clock frequency which is substantially the same as that used in said first and second data pathways, wherein the first plurality of pixels and the second plurality of pixels comprises a shared plurality of pixels.
