Image processor is one of the most important components of a digital camera.

As most smartphone’s and Tablet’s hardware are manufactured by OEM, sometimes the graphics card, although physically present, is not installed at software level.

The image processor or the Image Processing Engine of Digital Camera calculates on the basis of data supplied from the image sensor based on the hue, saturation and luminance of the individual pixels, the correct color and brightness value for each pixel. Better the algorithm used, more natural the colors are reproduced.
