Multi camera image processing

Abstract:

A system on a chip (SoC) implementing dynamic grouping of multiple cameras in an image processing system is disclosed. The SoC includes an image signal processor (ISP) configured to receive a signal corresponding to an image from two or more cameras, dynamically group the cameras into groups based on a measured view brightness and/or color temperature observed by each of the cameras, and assign cameras with a group of the groups to a same exposure/gain setting. The SoC further includes a statistics engine configured to receive the image signals and statistics related to the image signals from the ISP and determine a measurement of image brightness and/or color temperature of each image based on the image signals for forwarding to the ISP.
