Abstract:
This invention provides an integrated circuit chip comprising a plurality of signal processing circuits formed by stepping exposure, a bus formed by one-shot exposure, an arbitration circuit that arbitrates between the plurality of signal processing circuits and the bus, and an input unit that inputs a captured image signal from an image sensor, wherein the plurality of signal processing circuits formed by stepping exposure includes a processing unit that generates a RAW image by carrying out predetermined signal processing on the captured image signal and outputs the RAW image to the exterior, and a generating unit that generates image evaluation information using the bus formed by one-shot exposure and the arbitration circuit, in addition to the generation of the RAW image.
