IMAGE SENSOR DATA MANAGEMENT USING A MULTI-PORT MEMORY DEVICE

Abstract:

A memory device can be configured to receive data, via a first port, from an image sensor coupled thereto. The memory device can be further configured to perform an image processing operation on the data. The image processing operation can be performed using logic circuitry of the memory device. The memory device can be configured to transmit operated-on data from the memory device to image signal processing (ISP) circuitry via a second port of the memory device. Pulling data directly from an image sensor, via a memory device, can reduce data transfers, reduce resource consumption, and offload workloads from ISP circuitry, a host device, and/or a host processing device, for example.
