Abstract
An image processing system includes an image capturing device, a pixel binning device, a temporal filter, a first memory, a re-mosaic device, a second memory, and a blending device. The image capturing device is used for capturing a raw image. The pixel binning device is coupled to the image capturing device for outputting an enhanced image according to the raw image. The temporal filter is coupled to the pixel binning device for outputting a preview image according to the enhanced image. The first memory is used for buffering the raw image. The re-mosaic device is coupled to the first memory for outputting a processed image. The second memory is used for buffering the enhanced image. The blending device is coupled to the re-mosaic device and the second memory for outputting a snapshot image according to the processed image and the enhanced image.
