Virtual image signal processor

摘要

The disclosure provides a digital camera. The digital camera includes an image sensor configured to produce image sensor data. The digital camera further includes (i) an image signal processor configured to receive and perform a plurality of on-camera processing operations on the image sensor data, where such processing operations yield a plurality of intermediate processed versions of the image sensor data, and (ii) a communication module configured to wirelessly transmit, to an off-camera image signal processor, image source data which includes at least one of: (a) the image sensor data and (b) one of the intermediate processed versions of the image sensor data, where such transmission is performed automatically in response to the producing the image sensor data.

1. A digital camera, comprising:
at least one image sensor configured to produce image sensor data; an image signal processor configured to receive and perform a plurality of on-camera processing operations on the image sensor data, wherein the on-camera processing operations yield a plurality of intermediate processed versions of the image sensor data that are distinct from any exchangeable-format image type which enables cross-platform viewing of an image associated with the image sensor data; and a communication module configured to wirelessly transmit, to an off-camera image signal processor, image source data comprising one of the intermediate processed versions of the image sensor data, wherein transmission of the image source data to the off-camera image signal processor is performed automatically in response to production of the image sensor data.
