Image processing system having a rapid image processing apparatus and method for image processing

Abstract

The invention relates to an image processing system having an image processing apparatus. The image processing apparatus comprises at least two image processing units to receive a temporal sequence of image data records forming a common data stream and to generate output image data records from the image data records based on a predetermined allocation specification. The image processing units are connected to one another such that the image processing units are integrated in the common data stream. The image processing apparatus also comprises a shared memory mutually assigned to the image processing units. The shared memory stores the image data records and the output image data records. The image processing units are at least indirectly connected to the shared memory and access the shared memory.
