Method of operating imaging apparatus for loading reduction

Abstract

A method of operating an imaging apparatus includes generating combined sensor settings for a plurality of image sensors by an image signal processor (ISP), and transmitting the combined sensor settings from the ISP in a single operation. The ISP includes a single software flow control for the plurality of image sensors. The method significantly optimizes CPU usage and reduces power consumption in multi-sensor camera systems. By consolidating multiple software and data control flows into a single, unified process, the system achieves a substantial reduction in computational overhead.
