Patent Images
1. An image capture system, comprising:
- an image sensor chip configured to;
convert light into pixel data; and
generate compressed pixel data at a variable compression rate including applying a transform to pixel data associated with a pixel category from a plurality of pixel categories, wherein the variable compression rate is within an available bandwidth of an output bus configured to output the compressed pixel data.

Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed that capture and compress frames of pixel data. In an implementation, an image sensor chip is configured to convert light into pixel data and generate compressed pixel data at a variable compression rate including applying a transform to pixel data associated with a pixel category from a plurality of pixel categories. The variable compression rate is within an available bandwidth of an output bus configured to output the compressed pixel data.
