Image signal processor resource management

Abstract:

Aspects relate to an image signal processor that processes frames at changing frame rates. An example method includes receiving, by an image signal processor, a first sequence of image frames from an image sensor at a first frame rate, processing each image frame of the first sequence of image frames at the first frame rate, and receiving from the image sensor an indication of a frame rate change from the first frame rate to a second frame rate. The method also includes configuring one or more filters of the image signal processor to process image frames from the image sensor in response to receiving the indication of the frame rate change from the image sensor, receiving a second sequence of image frames from the image sensor at the second frame rate, and processing each image frame of the second sequence of image frames at the second frame rate.
