Abstract
An image divided into N pixel blocks, stored block wise in a camera core and transferred block wise from the camera core to a downstream processing engine local to the local memory. A direct handshaking is communicated, between the camera core and the downstream processing engine, in the block wise transfers. Optionally an optical sensor scanner divides the image with a scan rate N times a frame rate, each scan providing a block of the frame. Optionally, the block wise transfer includes a transfer through a local memory, local to the camera core, controlled by the direct handshaking.
