Image data processing method and apparatus, image processing chip, and aircraft

An image data processing apparatus, applicable to process N channels of first image data acquired by N image acquisition devices, wherein the apparatus comprises a processor and a memory communicatively connected to the processor,

• the memory storing computer program instructions, the computer program instructions, when invoked by the processor, causing the processor to perform the following steps:
• receiving K channels of image data, wherein the K channels of image data comprise L channels of second image data obtained by combining M channels of first image data of the N channels of first image data and (N−M) channels of first image data in the N channels of first image data that have not undergone combining processing;
• performing splitting processing on the L channels of second image data in the K channels of image data to obtain M channels of third image data;
• performing format conversion processing on the (N−M) channels of first image data and the M channels of third image data to obtain a color image in a preset format;
• and
• performing image processing on a gray part component of the color image in the preset format to obtain a depth map.

An image processing chip, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory in communication connection with the at least one processor, wherein
• the memory stores instructions capable of being executed by the at least one processor, and the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform the following steps:
• receiving K channels of image data, wherein the K channels of image data comprise L channels of second image data obtained by combining M channels of first image data of the N channels of first image data and (N−M) channels of first image data in the N channels of first image data that have not undergone combining processing, and K<N;
• performing splitting processing on the L channels of second image data in the K channels of image data to obtain M channels of third image data;
• performing format conversion processing on the (N−M) channels of first image data and the M channels of third image data to obtain a color image in a preset format;
• and
• performing image processing on a gray part component of the color image in the preset format to obtain a depth map.
