Altek Semiconductor is a solution provider of image processing for cameras, cellphones, medical and automobile electronics. I got experiences in image tuning, algorithm design, and performance optimization. Following were my contributions during this period.
1. Camera image quality tuning:
.Vignetting and color shading tuning.
.Built up tunning tools to reduce human error and time cost in the tuning process.
2. Zig-zag-patterned raw image interpolation algorithm improvement:
.Mitigated motion artifact.
.Cost reduction: reduced 30% chip area and maintained the output image quality.
3. Color shading algorithm improvement:
.Mitigated color halo and fading.
.Cost reduction/performance improvement in aspect of algorithm.
4. Multi-exposure control for HDR algorithm design:
.Started from scratch.
.Dedicated to the new HDR algorithm of Altek.
5. Migrated image processing software solutions to cellphones:
.Performance optimization using Open MP and ARM NEON.
