Agilent Technologies announces an image pipe processor that allows mobile phone and computing devices to take lifelike, rich color photos in all lighting conditions. The image pipe is integrated in the company’s new family of system-on-chip (SOC) sensors, which feature the enhanced-performance (EP) pixel architecture. This image pipe features a high degree of built-in processing intelligence and adaptability to lighting conditions, which results in good image quality. The device accommodates a wide range of lighting conditions, from indoor to sunlight to fluorescent, and can enhance overexposed or underexposed images. The image pipe contains enhancements such as automatic illuminant detection and advanced exposure control, pixel correction and contrast control. The image pipe is also specifically tuned to Agilent’s enhanced performance (EP) pixel architecture. The EP pixel architecture reduces dark current and noise, provides unmatched low image lag and removes the lens shading effect to offer desirable low-light CMOS sensor performance. In addition, the product is tightly coupled with the CMOS sensor, resulting in better colors, higher contrast, truer skin tones, and picture rendering that is highly adaptive to varying lighting, shadows and movement.
