IMAGE PROCESSOR FOR CAMERA MODULE

摘要

An image processor (170) for a camera module having an image sensor (182) th at captures an image for transfer to a printer module of a compact printer syst em including a capture unit (178) that captures the image from the image sensor (182) and transforms it to planarized linear RGB form. The image processor (170) also includes one or more interface units communicating with component s of said camera module under control of the central processing unit (171). A Serial Bus interface (176) communicates with the Serial Bus of a compact printer system to transfer data and power between modules. In one applicatio n, the camera module captures an image which is transferred to the image storag e memory of a printer module for printing by a printhead.
