Hynix Licenses Apical’s Imaging Cores for its Next Image Sensor Products
Inc have entered into a licensing agreement for the use of Apical’s iridix
and sinter image processing IP cores in future Hynix image sensor products.
iridix provides sophisticated dynamic range correction, based on original
research into the way the human eye adapts to different lighting
environments. An image sensor SoC (“System-on-Chip”) integrating iridix gives
natural-looking still images and video without need for additional
post-processing.
Apical’s iridix has formed the basis for many well-known product features
in DSLRs, compact cameras and mobile phones. The iridix version 7 IP core
combines professional/broadcast -level image quality with compact, low-power
hardware implementation suitable for any digital imaging device.
sinter is a state-of-the-art noise reduction core which effectively
addresses the primary noise sources affecting image quality in CMOS sensors.
Originally developed for DSLRs, it has been further developed to tackle the
particular noise characteristics of compact high-megapixel sensors used in
mobile phones.
Says
Hynix and believe that using our technology will help Hynix to achieve strong
market penetration with its future products.”
