2.3 IMAGE PROCESSING
2.3.1 OVERVIEW
The CCD generates an analog video signal. The SBU (Sensor Board Unit)
converts the analog signal to an 8-bit digital signal, then it sends the digital signal
to the SBICU (Scanner, Base-engine, and Image Processing Control Unit) board.
The SBICU board can be divided into two image processing blocks; the IPU (Image
Processing Unit) and the memory control IC. These two ICs mainly do the
following:
•
IPU:
Auto shading, filtering, magnification,
γ
correction, gradation
processing, and video path control
•
Memory Controller:
Image compression, image rotation, interface with
HDD controller, image repeat, and combine originals
Finally, the SBICU board sends the video data to the LD drive board.
