Abstract
The present invention discloses a method operable on a digital electronic device comprising an ISP, for initiating a motion diagnostic process on digital images captured by a sensor, and an image sensor. The method operable on a digital electronic device may also be designed to comprise additional steps such as reading a digital image stored in a memory unit, wherein the ISP is configured with computerized instructions comprising instructions to identify regions in the digital image, operating a hot region detection process to detect hot regions among the identified regions, creating a hot region map representing the hot regions detected among the identified regions, and then allowing the requester access to the captured hot region map via communicating with the memory unit, wherein said access allows the requester to perform a motion detection on the digital image. In some cases, the ISP or the digital electronic device may conduct a motion detection on the detected hot regions. Such an analysis may comprise a motion detection, classification process, and the like. In some cases, the requester may be an external device.
