Abstract
An image capturing device and the image preprocessing method thereof. The image preprocessing technique receives digital image consisting of luma data and chrominance data, integrates the chrominance data of adjacent rows to generate integrated chrominance data, buffers the luma data and the integrated chrominance data in a group of line buffers, and generates pre-processed chrominance data by making adjacent rows share the same integrated chrominance data. The luma data from the line buffer group form an image with the pre-processed chrominance. The image may be displayed on a display.
