1. An image signal processor, comprising:
a binning and crop module configured to receive a first input image from a first image sensor device and to perform a binning and crop operation on the first input image to generate a first image having a first resolution;
a Bayer domain processing module configured to perform a Bayer domain processing on the first image to generate a second image having a second resolution;
an RGB domain processing module configured to perform RGB domain processing on the second image to generate a third image having a third resolution, the RGB domain processing comprising converting the second image from a Bayer domain to an RGB domain; and
a YUV domain processing module configured to perform YUV domain processing on the third image to generate an output image, the YUV domain processing comprising converting the third image from the RGB domain to a YUV domain,
wherein the first resolution is higher than the second resolution.
