Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a controller integrated image processing apparatus for reducing an MCU operation amount,

The present invention relates to an image processing apparatus, and more particularly, to a controller integrated image processing apparatus for reducing the amount of MCU computation that reduces the resources used for display control and improves image processing performance.

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a display device is an apparatus that receives an image or image information and displays an image or an image. The display device includes a case forming an external shape of the display device, a display module installed to be exposed through an opening formed in the front surface of the case, and image and image information input / And a display unit for displaying an image on the display unit.

The image processing board is provided with various types of input terminals for receiving various kinds of information such as image, video and audio.

Image data processing on the image processing board requires processing after compression because the image data is very large in size compared to other media data. As the compression method, it is required to perform processing such as wavelet transformation, M-JPEG, And the image processing board consists of an FPGA, a DSP chip, a memory, and a TCP / IP chip. The FPGA includes a programmable logic element and a semiconductor including a programmable internal line And programmable logic elements replicate and program the functions of basic logic gates such as AND, OR, XOR, NOT, and more complex decoders or the combination of computational functions.

Most FPGAs contain a memory element with a simple flip-flop or a more complete block of memory for the programmable logic element.

The DSP chip is a chip designed in a structure for professionally processing signal processing.

In the present embedding situation, image processing is performed using MCU.

However, if video input / output is performed through the MCU, the LCD controller should be controlled in the case of LCD, and the camera controller in case of the camera. However, the supporting resolution is very small in the control process, and 89% of the MCU is occupied only in the video input / output .

Accordingly, there is a problem that control or sensor measurement, which is an original function of the MCU, can not be performed in addition to video input / output.

At the same time, mathematical calculations are also necessary for image processing, and MCUs are also consumed to obtain data.
