Abstract

Provided are image signal processing apparatuses and methods for operating the same. In an embodiment, the image signal processing apparatus is configured to receive, from an image sensor device, an input image. The apparatus is further configured to perform a binning and crop operation on the input image to generate a first image. The apparatus is further configured to perform a Bayer domain processing on the first image to generate a second image. The apparatus is further configured to perform RGB domain processing on the second image to generate a third image. The apparatus is further configured to perform YUV domain processing on the third image to generate an output image. The YUV domain processing comprises at least one of a spatial de-noising operation, a temporal de-noising operation, a motion compensation operation, a tone mapping operation, a detail enhance operation, and a sharpening operation.
