Real-time digital image processing architecture

摘要

A digital image processing device processes digital images provided by a camera of biosensor reader. The device includes a pixel processing unit for evaluating a stream of image values with respect to a given set of processing spots in the image area, thus determining characteristic parameters like the integral of pixel values in the processing spots. The pixel processing unit communicates with a higher-level digital control unit that sets the processing spots to be evaluated and that reads out and post-processes the results of the pixel processing unit.
