Claims19
A handheld device, comprising:
- one or more memories for storing a first image and a second image, the first image having a first image format corresponding to a first color space and a first resolution, and the second image having a second image format corresponding to a second color space and a second resolution;
- and
- a plurality of processors operatively coupled to the one or more memories, wherein each processor is substantially identical to the other processors, wherein the plurality of processors work in parallel and are integrated on a single chip, wherein the plurality of processors is configurable to convert the first image to a third image and convert the second image to a fourth image, wherein each of the third image and the fourth image has a third image format corresponding to a third color space and a third resolution, wherein the plurality of processors executes the image processing instructions to perform one or more of a plurality of scene transformations on the images having the third image format corresponding to the third color space and the third resolution.
A processor, comprising:
- an instruction input interface configured to receive a signal corresponding to image processing instructions;
- and
- a plurality of processors operatively coupled to the instruction input interface, wherein each processor is substantially identical to the other processors, wherein the plurality of processors work in parallel,
- wherein the plurality of processors is configurable to convert a first image having a first image format to a third image and convert a second image having a second image format to a fourth image, wherein each of the third image and the fourth image has a third image format, wherein the first image format corresponds to a first color space and a first resolution, the second image format corresponds to a second color space and a second resolution, and the third image format corresponds to a third color space and a third resolution,
- wherein the plurality of processors executes the image processing instructions to perform one or more of a plurality of scene transformations on the images having the third image format corresponding to the third color space and the third resolution.
