METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROCESSING IMAGES WITH DOUBLED IMAGE SENSOR Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC H04N5/232 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: image processing system may include a control circuit configured to determine if a device is operating in single sensor mode (with one active sensor) or double sensor mode (with two active sensors). When operating in single sensor mode, data may be provided directly to a pixel preprocessing unit from the sensor interface of the active sensor. When operating in double sensor mode, image frames from the first and second sensors are transmitted to a pixel preprocessing unit alternately. For example, in one embodiment, image frames from the first and second sensors are recorded in memory and then read in the pixel preprocessing unit alternately.

EFFECT: wider range of technical capabilities of an image forming apparatus, particularly image data processing.
