VIDEO ACQUISITION AND PROCESSING SYSTEMS
First Claim
1. A video acquisition and processing system comprising:
- a sensor;
an image signal processor, the sensor and image signal processor arranged so that the sensor converts detected light into raw image data, the raw image data subsequently converted by the image signal processor into image data having a particular color model and format; and
video compression and decompression component arranged to receive the image data output from the image signal processor and convert the image data into a compressed video-data stream.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention are video acquisition and processing systems. One embodiment of the present invention, video acquisition and processing systems include a sensor, image signal processor, and video compression and decompression components fully integrated in a single integrated circuit. The integrated sensor and image signal processor feature highly parallel transmission of image data to the video compression and decompression component. This highly parallel, pipelined, special-purpose integrated-circuit implementation offers cost-effective video acquisition and image data processing and an extremely large computational bandwidth with relatively low power consumption and low-latency for processing video signals.
