CPC Code(s): G06T1/60



Abstract: a lens distortion correction function operates by backmapping output images to the uncorrected, distorted input images. as a vision image processor completes processing on the image data lines needed for the lens distortion correction function to operate on a group of output, undistorted image lines, the lens distortion correction function begins processing the image data. this improves image processing pipeline delays by overlapping the operations. the vision image processor provides output image data to a circular buffer in sram, rather than providing it to dram. the lens distortion correction function operates from the image data in the circular buffer. by operating from the sram circular buffer, access to the dram for the highly fragmented backmapping image data read operations is removed, improving available dram bandwidth. by using a circular buffer, less space is needed in the sram. the improved memory operations further improve the image processing pipeline delays.
