The
System on a Chiphas numerous applications in camera modules, specifically as follows:
System Integration and Control
The SoC chip's various functional modules such as CPU, GPU, and ISP, and can serve as the control center of the camera module, coordinating the operation of various components. This controlling image acquisition, processing, and transmission. Additionally, it manages power by dynamically adjusting the power supply based on different working modes, thereby reducing power consumption. Furthermore it is responsible for system initialization and configuration, allowing flexible adjustment of camera parameters based on user needs and application scenarios.
Image Signal Processing
The ISP module in the SoC chip can process raw signals from the image sensor, including noise reduction and color correction, to enhance image quality. It effectively reduces noise, enhances image details and contrast, adjusts the dynamic range to balance highlights and shadows under different lighting conditions. Additionally, the ISP module can convert the processed image into various formats for output to meet the requirements of different applications.
Implementation of Intelligent Visual Functions
Many SoC chips integrate hardware acceleration units such as N or AI processors, which can accelerate the operation of neural network models, enabling the camera module to have intelligent visual functions such as facial recognition, target detection and tracking scene recognition and classification, etc. These functions can be applied in various fields such as security surveillance, intelligent transportation, and industrial production, allowing for rapid and accurate of specific targets and behavior analysis.
Data Transmission and Storage Management
The SoC chip provides various data transmission interfaces such as USB and MIPI, ensuring that and video data can be quickly and stably transmitted to external devices. At the same time, it manages the internal cache of the camera module and interacts with external devices, preprocessing the data, such as compression and encryption, to improve the efficiency and security of data storage and transmission.
