Abstract
Digital image processing circuitry converts images in a color filter array (CFA) color space to images in a luminance-chrominance (YUV) 4:2:0 color space, and the images in the YUV 4:2:0 color space are processed by the digital image processing circuitry in the YUV 4:2:0 color space, for example, to apply noise filtering, etc. The converting includes simultaneously receiving pixel data defining a macro-pixel in the CFA color space. The processing in the YUV color space is applied on a macro-pixel level to the macro-pixel of the image in the YUV color space.
