Abstract:
1. A method for image processing, comprising: processing image data to yield a plurality of first component pixel blocks and a plurality of second component pixel blocks, each of the first component pixel blocks being associated with a respective one of the second component pixel blocks to define a combination pixel block; and writing the plurality of first and second component pixel blocks to memory through a cache that is used as a write buffer and is logically partitioned into a contiguous portion to store first component pixel blocks and not any second component pixel blocks, and another contiguous portion to store second component pixels blocks and not any first component pixel blocks, wherein the cache is further logically partitioned into a contiguous portion for storing error data that results from a motion compensation algorithm and not for storing any of the first or second component pixel blocks, wherein the error data is written to memory through the cache.
