Abstract
A camera system processes images based on image activity data. The camera system includes an image sensor, an image pipeline, an encoder and a memory. The image sensor converts light incident upon the image sensor into raw image data. The image pipeline converts raw image data into color-space image data and calculates activity variances of the color-space image data. The encoder can determine one or more of quantization levels, block type (Intra vs Inter), determining transform size and type, and determining GOP structure or reference frame spacing for the color-space image data based on the activity variances. The memory stores the color-space image data and the activity variances.
