DIGITAL CAMERA WITH MULTIPLE PIPELINE SIGNAL PROCESSORS
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- sampling a first intensity of light with a first array of photo detectors of a digital camera;
sampling a second intensity of light with a second array of photo detectors of the digital camera;
generating, with a first channel processor coupled to the first array of photo detectors, a first image using first array data which is representative of the first intensity of light sampled by the first array of photo detectors; and
generating, with a second channel processor coupled to the second array of photo detectors, a second image using second array data which is representative of the second intensity of light sampled by the second array of photo detectors;
wherein the first array of photo detectors, the second array of photo detectors, the first channel processor, and the second channel processor are integrated on or in a semiconductor substrate.

Abstract
A method includes sampling a first intensity of light with a first array of photo detectors of a digital camera. A second intensity of light is sampled with a second array of photo detectors of the digital camera. A first channel processor coupled to the first array of photo detectors generates a first image using first array data which is representative of the first intensity of light sampled by the first array of photo detectors. A second channel processor coupled to the second array of photo detectors generates a second image using second array data which is representative of the second intensity of light sampled by the second array of photo detectors. The first array of photo detectors, the second array of photo detectors, the first channel processor, and the second channel processor are integrated on or in a semiconductor substrate.
