An image sensor coprocessor includes an SMIA image sensor interface for accepting data from an SMIA image sensor, a device interface for transmitting and receiving instructions and data with respect to a device, and a protocol translation module. The protocol translation module enables instructions received at the device interface to be translated to instructions for the SMIA image sensor interface, and a sensor data stream from the SMIA image sensor interface to be translated to a device data stream for the device interface. The image sensor coprocessor can also be modified such that the device interface is a USB interface enabling USB compliant devices to be utilized with SMIA image sensors.
