Intel® Image Processing Unit (Intel® IPU6)

IPU6 is Intel's 6th generation solution for an Imaging Processing Unit, providing advanced imaging functionality for Intel processors, as well as more specialized functionality for High Performance Mobile Phones, Automotive, Digital Surveillance Systems (DSS), and other market segments.

IPU6 is a continuing evolution of the architecture introduced in IPU4 and enhanced in IPU5. Additional image quality improvements are introduced, as well as hardware accelerated support for temporal de-noising and new sensor technologies such as Spatially Variant Exposure HDR and Dual Photo Diode, among others.

IPU6 provides a complete high quality hardware accelerated pipeline, and is therefore not dependent on algorithms running on the vector processors to provide the highest quality output.
