The talk topic is:

DSP Solutions for Digital Still Cameras
 


Abstract

 
This talk will focus on high performance, programmable solutions for Digital Still Cameras. The talk will present a overview of the digital still camera markets and also detail the various signal, image and video processing tasks that need to be performed in the DSCs to make a photo-realistic image from the raw CCD/CMOS imager data. The talk will also discuss the computational requirements of these algorithms and present examples of commercially available DSC engines that are used perform these operations. In particular, the talk will highlight TMS320DSC21, the latest DSP-based DSC engine from Texas Instruments that addresses this market segment.
