Abstract:
1. A system for acquiring a digital image for a device having an integrated camera, the system comprising: an image sensor adapted to acquire initial sensor data; an image acquisition interface adapted to control the image sensor and preprocess the initial sensor data said image acquisition interface including a preprocessor having a plurality of preprocessing modules; wherein the image acquisition interface is configured to activate a first subset of said plurality of preprocessing modules in response to a first instruction set and to activate a second subset of said plurality of preprocessing modules in response to a second instruction set to generate respective first and second preprocessed images in parallel; a discrete application operating said image acquisition interface and receiving said first and second preprocessed images; wherein the preprocessing modules include modules for shading correction, noise correction, demosaic, hot pixel correction, geometric correction, color correction, tone curve correction, tone curve adjustment and edge enhancement.
