PURPOSE:
1.Digital recording and display of
pictures.
2.Processing to get the pictures of
required brightness, contrast and
colour.
3.Permanent saving of a picture in a file
in a standard format at a flash memory
stick.
4.Transfer files into a computer through
a port.

INPUTS
Intensity and colour values for each picture in
horizontal and vertical rows of pixels.
User control inputs.
08/10/2021
Signals, Events and Notifications
User commands given as signals from
switches/buttons
08/10/2021
OUTPUTS:
Output is encoded file for a picture.
Permanent store of the picture at a file in a
flash memory sick.
Screen display of picture from the file after
decoding

Functions of the system
A color LCD dot matrix displays the picture
before shooting ─ enables manual
adjustment of view of t h e picture.
For shooting a shutter button pressed ─ a
charge-coupled device (C CD) array placed at
the focus generates a byte stream in output
after operations by ADC on analog out put of
each CC D cell .

Functions of the system…..
A file creates after encoding (compression)
and pixel co-processing.
The byte stream is pre-processed and then
encoded in a standard format using a CODEC.

ARRANGMENTS:
Keys on the camera.
Shutter, lens and charge coupled device (CCD)
array sensors
Good resolution photo quality LCD display
unit
Displays text such as image-title, shooting data
and time and serial number. It displays
messages. It displays the GUI menu when user
interacts with the camera.
Self-timer lamp for flash.

INTERNAL UNITS:
Internal memory flash to store OS and
embedded software and limited number of
image files.
Flash memory stick of 2 GB or more
for large storage.
Universal Serial Bus (USB), Bluetooth and
serial COM port for connecting it to
computer, mobile and printer.

SYSTEM LAYER:
System layer provides system services
Example:
Display the text with picture,flash start and
stop and services such as IPCs(Inter Process
Communication)
APPLICATION LAYER :
Application layer is for system switches,
button and control tasks.

FUNCTION LAYER:
Function layer is for appilcation layer tasks
functionality using Picture_FileCreation,
Picture_FileDisplay and Picture_FileTransfer.
PRESENTATION LAYER:
Presentation layer is for providing
standard acess to an image file

CONCLUSION:
By using digital camera we can capture
images and videos.
And this data can be transferred into a
computer by using various devices.
We learnt the digital camera hardware and
soft ware architecture.
