Methods and systems for providing sensor data and image data to an application processor in a digital image format

摘要

Methods and systems for providing sensor data and image data to an application processor on a mobile device are described. An example method involves receiving image data from at least one camera of the mobile device and receiving sensor data from an inertial measurement (IMU) of the mobile device. The method further involves generating a digital image that includes at least the image data and the sensor data. The sensor data may be embedded in pixels of the digital image, for instance. Further, the method then involves providing the digital image to an application processor of the mobile device using a camera bus interface. Thus, the sensor data and the image data may be provided to the application processor in a single data structure.
