Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes a reconfigurable circuit, a compression unit, an image processing unit, and a controller. The reconfigurable circuit has a reconfigurable circuit configuration. The compression unit is configured as a circuit in the reconfigurable circuit to compress image data. The image processing unit is configured as a circuit in the reconfigurable circuit to perform image processing on the compressed image data. The controller changes the circuit configuration of the reconfigurable circuit so as to vary a compression rate of the compression unit in accordance with a processing capacity of the image processing unit.
Claims13
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a reconfigurable circuit with a reconfigurable circuit configuration;
- a compression unit configured as a circuit in the reconfigurable circuit to compress image data;
- an image processing unit configured as a circuit in the reconfigurable circuit to perform image processing on the compressed image data by the compression unit, the compression unit being configured simultaneously with the image processing unit;
- and
- a controller that changes the circuit configuration of the reconfigurable circuit so as to vary a compression rate of the compression unit in accordance with a processing capacity of the image processing unit,
- wherein the image processing unit performs image processing while at the same time the compression unit is compressing image data.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process comprising:
- providing a reconfigurable circuit with a reconfigurable circuit configuration;
- compressing image data through a compression unit configured in the reconfigurable circuit;
- performing image processing on the compressed image data through an image processing unit configured in the reconfigurable circuit;
- and
- simultaneously changing the circuit configuration of the compression unit and the image processing unit in the reconfigurable circuit so as to vary a compression rate of the compression unit in accordance with a processing capacity of the image processing unit,
- wherein the image processing is performed while at the same time the image data is being compressed.
