Abstract
An image processing device includes a plurality of image processors cascaded into a plurality of stages, the image processors each performing image processing on image data received, wherein an image processor other than an image processor in the final stage performs image processing on image data being part of image data input, and transfers the remaining image data to an image processor in a subsequent stage.
Claims20
An image processing device comprising
- a plurality of image processors cascaded into a plurality of stages, each one of the image processors configured to perform image processing to generate output image data and configured to send the output image data to a device other than the image processors,
- wherein the plurality of stages includes a first stage and a second stage after the first stage, the plurality of image processors includes a first image processor at the first stage and a second image processor at the second stage, and
- wherein the first image processor is configured to receive image data input, perform image processing on a portion of the received image data input to generate output image data, and transfer data to the second image processor having a total amount in bytes that is less than that of the received image data input, wherein the transferred data does not include the portion of the received image data input on which image processing was performed by the first image processor, and the transferred data includes other portions of the received image data input.
A non-transitory recording medium storing a computer readable program causing a computer to function as
- an image processing device comprising a plurality of image processors cascaded into a plurality of stages, each one of the image processors performing image processing to generate output image data and then sending the output image data to a device other than the image processors,
- wherein the plurality of stages includes a first stage and a second stage after the first stage, the plurality of image processors includes a first image processor at the first stage and a second image processor at the second stage, and
- wherein the first image processor receives image data input, performs image processing on a portion of the received image data input to generate output image data, and transfers data to the second image processor having a total amount in bytes that is less than that of the received image data input, wherein the transferred data does not include the portion of the received image data input on which image processing was performed by the first image processor, and the transferred data includes other portions of the received image data input.
