Image buffer with multiple access modes

摘要

The image buffer (8) with multiple access modes for image processing system, e.g. digital still camera, with burst memory uses access controller to transfer data from the burst to a block memory in a format specified to the controller by the data processor (7) via a switch. The controller transfers the formatted data from the block memory to the processor via the same switch in a second state. An independent claim describes a method of processing data representing an image.
