Abstract
This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for image signal processing that support hardware-based photographic and videographic effects. In a first aspect, a method of image processing includes receiving, by an image signal processor, first image data; and determining an output image frame based on the first image data by applying a photographic effect to a first image frame of the first image data in the image signal processor. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.
Claims30
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by an image signal processor, first image data;
- and
- determining, by the image signal processor, an output image frame based on the first image data by applying a photographic effect to a first image frame of the first image data, wherein applying the photographic effect comprises performing a blurring operation on the first image data by logic circuitry of the image signal processor.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- at least one image signal processor coupled to the memory, the at least one image signal processor configured to perform operations including:
- receiving, by an image signal processor, first image data;
- and
- determining, by the image signal processor, an output image frame based on the first image data by applying a photographic effect to a first image frame of the first image data, wherein applying the photographic effect comprises performing a blurring operation on the first image data by logic circuitry of the image signal processor.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by an image signal processor, cause the image signal processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, by the image signal processor, first image data;
- and
- determining, by the image signal processor, an output image frame based on the first image data by applying a photographic effect to a first image frame of the first image data, wherein applying the photographic effect comprises performing a blurring operation on the first image data by logic circuitry of the image signal processor.
An image capture device, comprising:
- an image sensor;
- a memory;
- and
- at least one image signal processor coupled to the memory and to the image sensor, the at least one image signal processor configured to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, by the at least one image signal processor, first image data;
- determining, by the at least one image signal processor, an output image frame based on the first image data by applying a photographic effect to a first image frame of the first image data, wherein applying the photographic effect comprises performing a blurring operation on the first image data by logic circuitry of the at least one image signal processor;
- and
- storing the output image frame in the memory.
