Abstract
A computer vision processor in an image cluster defines a fenced memory region (FMR) that controls access to image data stored in a first portion of a trusted memory region (TMR). The computer vision processor receives FMR requests from an application implemented in a processing cluster. The FMR requests are to access the image data in the first portion of the TMR. The computer vision processor selectively allows the requesting application to access the image data. In some cases, the computer vision processor acquires the image data and stores the image data in the first portion of the TMR, such as buffers in the TMR. A data fabric selectively permits the image processing application to access the data stored in the TMR based on whether the image cluster has opened or closed the FMR for the portion of the TMR.
