Patent ID: 7046864

Claim:
An imaging system comprising: an image sensing circuitry that produces a raw image data; an image processing circuitry, communicatively coupled to the image sensing circuitry, that processes the raw image data into a processed intermediate image data; a transformation circuitry, separate from said image processing circuitry and communicatively coupled to the image processing circuitry through an intermediate storage queue, that transforms the processed intermediate image data into a processed final image data; a communication circuitry, communicatively coupled to the transformation circuitry, that links the imaging system to a final storage; said intermediate storage queue configured to store one or more processed intermediate image data, wherein the intermediate storage queue is communicatively coupled to the image processing circuitry and the transformation circuitry; and the intermediate storage queue storing the one or more processed intermediate image data from the image processing circuitry awaiting additional image processing by the transformation circuitry.
