A camera and image processing method

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention discloses a camera and an image processing method. The camera includes an image sensor, a data transmission interface and a main control chip, and the main control chip includes a first ARM processor, an ISP image processor and at least two DSP digital processors; the image sensor is electrically connected with the ISP image processor, and the ISP image processing The device is electrically connected to the first ARM processor, and the first ARM processor is respectively electrically connected to at least two DSP digital processors, and the at least two DSP digital processors respectively perform image analysis on the received image to obtain image analysis results; data transmission The interfaces are respectively electrically connected to the first ARM processor and at least two DSP digital processors. The camera provided by the embodiment of the present invention has both the image capture function and the image analysis and processing function, without uploading the captured image to the edge server or the cloud, and can realize offline processing, which further avoids the problem of slow response speed caused by data transmission, and at the same time reduces the hardware cost.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to image processing technologies, and in particular, to a camera and an image processing method. Background technique [0002] Because the image contains a large amount of information, a large amount of feature information in the image can be extracted through image processing technology, so image processing technology is widely used in various fields. [0003] At present, traditional cameras only have the function of image capture, and the collected images are transmitted to image processing computing platforms, such as cloud computing and edge computing. Exemplary, see Figure 1A , Figure 1A It is a schematic diagram of image processing based on cloud computing in the prior art. Among them, the camera collects image data, transmits the image data to the server, and the server transmits the image data to the cloud, and performs intelligent computing in the cloud, wherein the intelligent computing can be to...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] In the process of realizing the present invention, the inventor found that there are at least the following technical problems in the prior art: image processing in the cloud requires image data transmission, bandwidth problems during data transmission, and timeliness of response to image processing results Problem: To perform image processing on the edge server, it is necessary to set up a high-performance edge server, which is costly. At the same time, due to the large size of the edge server, it is difficult to deploy; for the combination of cloud computing and edge computing, not only the cost is high, but also there is a problem of response speed , and offline image data processing cannot be performed
