1. A digital imaging apparatus, comprising:

  • an optical sensor capable of converting an object image into a detected image;

    an analog-to-digital converter coupled to the optical sensor, the analog-to-digital converter capable of converting the detected image to digital image information;

    a plurality of computational elements, a first computational element of the plurality of computational elements having a first fixed architecture and a second computational element of the plurality of computational elements having a second fixed architecture, the first fixed architecture being different than the second fixed architecture; and

    an interconnection network coupled to the plurality of computational elements and to the analog-to-digital converter, the interconnection network capable of providing a processed digital image from the digital image information by configuring the plurality of computational elements for performance of a first imaging function of a plurality of imaging functions in response to first configuration information, and by reconfiguring the plurality of computational elements for performance of a second imaging function of the plurality of imaging functions in response to second configuration information, the first imaging function being different than the second imaging function.
