Camera system apparatus with image sensor

A camera system apparatus comprising:

• an image sensor unit;
• an analog front end unit for digitizing an analog output signal output from the image sensor unit into a digital video signal;
• a front-end camera digital signal processor unit, including:
• a camera signal data path for accepting the digital video signal,
• a pre-processing unit connected to the camera signal data path for processing RAW video input signal, and
• a parameter register connected to the camera signal data path and the image sensor unit;
• and
• a back-end processor unit to which a video signal output from camera signal data path is input, the back-end processor unit including a general application process unit for processing the video signal and a scene analyzer connected to the pre-processing unit and parameter register, wherein the scene analyzer includes:
• a scene analysis unit connected to the pre-processing unit for extracting information,
• a classification unit connected to the scene analysis unit for defining the present scene situation based on the information extracted by the scene analysis unit, and
• a parameter calculation unit connected to the classification unit for calculating the input from the classification unit and sending signal as parameters to be set into the front-end camera digital signal processor unit,
• wherein signal output from the scene analyzer is set into the parameter register as the parameters to control the camera signal data path.
