Apparatuses, systems, and methods related to an image processor formed in an array of memory cells are described. An image processor as described herein is configured to reduce complexity and power consumption and/or increase data access bandwidth by performing image processing in the array of memory cells relative to image processing by a host processor external to the memory array. For instance,one apparatus described herein includes sensor circuitry configured to provide an input vector, as a plurality of bits that corresponds to a plurality of color components for an image pixel, and an image processor formed in an array of memory cells. The image processor is coupled to the sensor circuitry to receive the plurality of bits of the input vector. The image processor is configured to perform a color correction operation in the array by performing matrix multiplication on the input vector and a parameter matrix to determine an output vector that is color corrected. 描述与形成于存储器单元阵列中的图像处理器有关的设备、系统及方法。如本文所描述的图像处理器
