Renesas R-Car VSP1 1-D Histogram Data

2.13.5.1. Description

This format describes histogram data generated by the Renesas R-Car VSP1 1-D Histogram (HGO) engine.

The VSP1 HGO is a histogram computation engine that can operate on RGB, YCrCb or HSV data. It operates on a possibly cropped and subsampled input image and computes the minimum, maximum and sum of all pixels as well as per-channel histograms.

The HGO can compute histograms independently per channel, on the maximum of the three channels (RGB data only) or on the Y channel only (YCbCr only). It can additionally output the histogram with 64 or 256 bins, resulting in four possible modes of operation.

• In 64 bins normal mode, the HGO operates on the three channels independently to compute three 64-bins histograms. RGB, YCbCr and HSV image formats are supported.

• In 64 bins maximum mode, the HGO operates on the maximum of the (R, G, B) channels to compute a single 64-bins histogram. Only the RGB image format is supported.

• In 256 bins normal mode, the HGO operates on the Y channel to compute a single 256-bins histogram. Only the YCbCr image format is supported.

• In 256 bins maximum mode, the HGO operates on the maximum of the (R, G, B) channels to compute a single 256-bins histogram. Only the RGB image format is supported.

Byte Order. All data is stored in memory in little endian format. Each cell in the tables contains one byte.
