Image processing device, non-transitory computer-readable medium, and image processing method

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing an image processing program causing a computer to function as:

• a pipeline processor, executing an image processing group consisting of a series of image processings with respect to each of at least one piece of raw image data generated by an image sensor, so that image data which is a result of image processing in a preceding stage becomes a target of image processing in a subsequent stage;
• an extended image processor, executing extended image processing different from each of the image processings comprised in the image processing group;
• and
• a switch, acquiring a definition for identifying target image processing which is image processing to be bypassed among the image processings comprised in the image processing group and a definition indicating that image processing to be executed either or both before and after bypassing is the extended image processing, and, in response to a predetermined switching condition being satisfied, switching, on the basis of the acquired definition, a processing flow in the image processing group so that intermediate image data which is a result of image processing before the target image processing becomes a target of the extended image processing, wherein
• based on the definition, the extended image processor executes the extended image processing on an image obtained by bypassing at least one image processing comprised in the image processing group and executing at least one image processing comprised in the image processing group.

An image processing method for executing an image processing group consisting of a series of image processings with respect to each of at least one piece of raw image data generated by an image sensor, so that image data which is a result of image processing in a preceding stage becomes a target of image processing in a subsequent stage, the image processing method comprising:

• determining whether a predetermined switching condition is satisfied;
• in response to determining that the switching condition is satisfied, switching a processing flow in the image processing group so that intermediate image data which is a result of image processing before target image processing among the image processings comprised in the image processing group becomes a target of extended image processing different from each of the image processings comprised in the image processing group;
• and
• executing the extended image processing, wherein
• based on the definition, executing the extended image processing on an image obtained by bypassing at least one image processing comprised in the image processing group and executing at least one image processing comprised in the image processing group.
