, a system on a chip including an image processor, video processor, digital signal processor (DSP) and a 32-bit microcontroller controlling the chip An image processor, also known as an image processing engine, image processing unit (IPU), or image signal processor (ISP), is a type of media processor or specialized digital signal processor (DSP) used for image processing, in digital cameras or other devices. Image processors often employ parallel computing even with SIMD or MIMD technologies to increase speed and efficiency. The digital image processing engine can perform a range of tasks. To increase the system integration on embedded devices, often it is a system on a chip with multi-core processor architecture.

Some are known to be based on the Fujitsu Milbeaut, the Texas Instruments OMAP, Panasonic MN103, Zoran Coach, Altek Sunny or Sanyo image/video processors. ARM architecture processors with its NEON SIMD Media Processing Engines (MPE) are often used in mobile phones. ===Processor brand names=== ATI - Imageon (graphics co-processor used in many early mobile phones to offer camera image signal processing ) Canon - DIGIC (based on Texas Instruments OMAP) Casio - EXILIM engine Epson - EDiART Fujifilm - EXR III or X Processor Pro Google - Pixel Visual Core HTC - ImageSense Intel - IPU MediaTek - Imagiq Minolta / Konica Minolta - SUPHEED with CxProcess Leica - MAESTRO (based on Fujitsu Milbeaut) Nikon - Expeed (based on Fujitsu Milbeaut) Olympus - TruePic (based on Panasonic MN103/MN103S) OPPO - MariSilicon X Panasonic - Venus Engine (based on Panasonic MN103/MN103S) Pentax - PRIME (Pentax Real IMage Engine) (newer variants based on Fujitsu Milbeaut) Qualcomm - Qualcomm Spectra (based on Qualcomm Snapdragon) Ricoh - GR engine (GR digital), Smooth Imaging Engine Samsung - DRIMe (based on Samsung Exynos) Sanyo - Platinum engine Sigma - True Sharp - ProPix Socionext - Milbeaut Family of ISPs - SC2000 (M-10V), SC2002 (M-11S) Sony - Bionz THine - THP series with compatible SDK Kit for developing firmware [https://www.thinesolutions.com/camera-development-kit-cdk UNISOC - Vivimagic ==References==
