Abstract
This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for image signal processing that support spatially-adaptive binning and remosaicing of image data. In a first aspect, a method of image processing includes receiving image data comprising at least a portion of an image frame. A first portion of the image data is coded according to a first binning pattern, and a second portion of the image data is coded according to a second binning pattern different from the first binning pattern. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.
Claims30
A method comprising:
- receiving image data comprising at least a portion of an image frame;
- coding a first portion of the image data according to a first binning pattern;
- and
- coding a second portion of the image data according to a second binning pattern different from the first binning pattern.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a memory storing processor-readable code;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the memory, the at least one processor configured to execute the processor-readable code to cause the at least one processor to perform operations including:
- receiving image data comprising at least a portion of an image frame;
- coding a first portion of the image data according to a first binning pattern;
- and
- coding a second portion of the image data according to a second binning pattern different from the first binning pattern.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving image data comprising at least a portion of an image frame;
- coding a first portion of the image data according to a first binning pattern;
- and
- coding a second portion of the image data according to a second binning pattern different from the first binning pattern.
An image capture device comprising:
- an image sensor comprising a binning module to output image data comprising at least a portion of an image frame and to output metadata indicating a first binning pattern for a first portion of the image data and a second binning pattern for a second portion of the image data;
- a memory storing processor-readable code;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the memory and to the image sensor, the at least one processor configured to execute the processor-readable code to cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, from the image sensor over a data bus, the image data and the metadata;
- decoding the first portion to determine first decoded data based on the first binning pattern;
- decoding the second portion to determine second decoded data based on the second binning pattern;
- and
- determining the image frame by processing the first decoded data and the second decoded data.
