Abstract

An image processing method is applied to an image processing circuit including a first application circuit and a second application circuit. The image processing circuit is coupled to a memory. The method includes the following steps: reading, by the first application circuit, a first image from the memory; processing, by the first application circuit, the first image to generate a part of a second image and progress information corresponding to the part; storing, by the first application circuit, the part of the second image in the memory; sending, by the first application circuit, the progress information; receiving, by the second application circuit, the progress information; reading, by the second application circuit, the part of the second image from the memory according to the progress information; and processing, by the second application circuit, the part of the second image.
