5M pixel sensor support Image Signal Processing (ISP) IP

Overview

Chips&Media’s Camera ISP IP – LEDA is the Imaging Signal Processing (ISP) targeted to be used in low light environment for surveillance camera, automotive such as Car DVR and Infotainment with maximum processing resolution of 5 Mega Pixels (MP) at 60 frames per second (FPS). The ISP offers complete and configurable ISP pipeline with features including 8x6 2D Color-Shading Correction, 19-Point Bayer Gamma Correction, 6-Region Color Saturation, Hue, and Delta-L Control functions, and generates best possible picture quality by implementing optimum low light Noise/Sharp filter on the inputted image after analyzing each scene, which is one of the key advantage of LEDA ISP. Furthermore, the other competitive advantages over other IPs are the significantly low gate size and memory usage which are achieved by optimizing the algorithm through information sharing of each process.
LEDA ISP is ARM® AMBA 4 AXI protocol compliant that the host can control LEDA ISP via AMBA 4 APB bus interface, and data are exchanged using AMBA 4 AXI interfaces.
