Silicon Hive and Apical have joined-up to develop hardware accelerated Retina-Morphic and Image Signal Processing solutions for devices such as mobile phone cameras.
Apical plans to optimise and port some of its image enhancement and processing engines to Silicon Hive’s HiveFlex ISP 2200 programmable processor, while Silicon Hive will enhance the ISP 2200’s instruction set.
The first joint product involves Apical’s Iridix engine running on an ISP 2200 processor which can process more than 100Mpixel/s.
Iridix is a dynamic range compression method used in digital cameras, which is fundamentally different from conventional methods because it applies different tonal and colour transformations to every pixel in a source image.
According to Apical, the technology imitates the way in which the human retina adapts to scenes of high and variable contrast.
The product is C programmable and can be scaled to meet the needs of CMOS image sensor or imaging SoC manufacturers.
