Abstract
A hand held image capture device that has a camera with an image sensor to capture a scene viewed by the camera and, a central processor having multiple processing units and an image sensor interface integrated onto a single chip. The image sensor interface is configured to receive data from the image sensor and the multiple processing units being configured for processing in the data. The processing of the data includes detecting faces within the scene.
Claims20
An electronic device, comprising:
- an image sensor to capture a scene;
- and
- a central processor having multiple processing units and an image sensor interface, the image sensor interface being configured for receiving data from the image sensor, and the multiple processing units being configured for processing the data based on image processing instructions that are stored in a memory and correspond to a signal that is associated with a bit pattern based on pixels;
- wherein the image processing instructions are associated with detecting faces within the scene.

A processor, comprising:
- a first interface for receiving data from an image sensor;
- a second interface for receiving a signal that is associated with a bit pattern based on pixels;
- and
- a plurality of processing units for processing the data received by the first interface based on image processing instructions that correspond to the signal that is associated with the bit pattern based on pixels, wherein the image processing instructions are associated with detecting faces within a scene corresponding to the data.
