A patent for a digital signal processor, and a digital image processing apparatus adopting the same, has been granted to Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. The invention, described by inventor Lee, Myung-hun, allows for a digital image processing apparatus to perform a live-view operation with increased speed and efficiency. This is achieved by processing photograph-image data during each period of time from the completion of one frame data of live-view to the beginning of the next frame data. The digital signal processor can be employed in a digital image processing apparatus, providing a significant improvement in continuous photographing speed.

Key Takeaways:

  • The patent, titled "Digital Signal Processor and Digital Image Processing Apparatus Adopting the Same with Concurrent Live View Frame and Picture Image Processing," was filed on March 3, 2008, and published online on October 6, 2015.
  • The invention relates to a digital signal processor, which includes a data converter for converting digital image data in red, green, and blue form into digital image data in luminance and chrominance form.
  • The patent states that the conventional digital image processing apparatus cannot perform a live-view operation for approximately 700 ms, resulting in a maximum speed of continuous photographing of approximately 1.43 images per second.
  • The digital signal processor, according to the patent, can process photograph-image data during each period of time from the completion of one frame data of live-view to the beginning of the next frame data.
  • The invention provides a digital signal processor with an increased maximum speed of continuous photographing, allowing for faster and more efficient live-view operations.
  • The patent was assigned to Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. and filed on March 3, 2008.
