The Camera ISP Core is designed to optimize image signal processing by integrating sophisticated algorithms that produce sharp, high-resolution images while requiring minimal logic. Compatible with RGB Bayer and monochrome image sensors, this core handles inputs from 8 to 14 bits and supports resolutions from 256x256 up to 8192x8192 pixels. Its multi-pixel processing capabilities per clock cycle allow it to achieve performance metrics like 4Kp60 and 4Kp120 on FPGA devices. It uses AXI4-Lite and AXI4-Stream interfaces to streamline defect correction, lens shading correction, and high-quality demosaicing processes.
Advanced noise reduction features, both 2D and 3D, are incorporated to handle different lighting conditions effectively. The core also includes sophisticated color and gamma corrections, with HDR processing for combining multiple exposure images to improve dynamic range. Capabilities such as auto focus and saturation, contrast, and brightness control are further enhanced by automatic white balance and exposure adjustments based on RGB histograms and window analyses.
Beyond its core features, the Camera ISP Core is available with several configurations including the HDR, Pro, and AI variations, supporting different performance requirements and FPGA platforms. The versatility of the core makes it suitable for a range of applications where high-quality real-time image processing is essential.
