Patent ID: 7203379

Claim:
An image processing system operable to perform cross talk correction in a first pass on a digital image arranged in a plurality of lines, the image processing system comprising: an image sensor circuitry operable to read an image and generate the digital image based on the image; a processing circuitry communicatively coupled to the image sensor circuitry; and a line buffer circuitry communicatively coupled to the processing circuitry, the line buffer circuitry comprising a plurality of line buffers; wherein the processing circuitry performs cross talk correction on a first pixel during the first pass to generate a first cross talk corrected pixel, wherein said first pixel is contained within a first line comprising a first plurality of pixels, the first line is received from a first line buffer of the plurality of line buffers; wherein, during the first pass, the processing circuitry stores the first cross talk corrected pixel in the line buffer circuitry, retrieves the first cross talk corrected pixel from the line buffer circuitry, and uses the first cross talk corrected pixel to perform cross talk correction on a second pixel to generate a second cross talk corrected pixel, wherein the second pixel is contained within a second line comprising a second plurality of pixels, the second line is received from a second line buffer of the plurality of line buffers.
