Application of SoC Chips in Camera Modules

The SoC chip has numerous applications in camera modules, specifically as follows:

The SoC chip 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.

The ISP module the SoC chip can process the raw signals from the image sensor, including noise reduction and color correction, to improve image quality. Under different lighting conditions, it effectively reduce noise, enhance image details and contrast, and adjust the dynamic range to balance the highlights and shadows. Moreover, the ISP module can convert the processed image into various formats for output, to meet the needs of different applications.

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.

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.
