  • Patent number: 9483848
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus is provided which offers higher versatility than conventional image processing apparatuses. When an input signal to a spatial filtering block is a monochrome signal that contains Y component only, a selector selects its input terminal and a selector selects its input terminal. Then, a low-pass filter output signal of a programmable spatial filter is inputted to a spatial filter, and a low-pass filter output signal of the spatial filer is inputted to a spatial filter. That is, the programmable spatial filter and the spatial filters are connected in series (in cascade), and the cascade-connected three spatial filters perform filtering operation. In this example, low-pass filters with 5H5 taps are connected in cascade in three stages, which enables low-pass filtering with 13H13 taps.

  • Patent number: 9082206
    Abstract: Two local buffers are provided between an image processing unit and an image compression and expansion unit for compression into a predetermined format. Write and read control units serve to alternately use the two local buffers. As a result, process flow starting from the image processing unit to generate compressed image data by the image compression and expansion unit requires no main memory, whereby high-speed image processing is allowed with low power consumption.

  • Patent number: 8938133
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a first storage section and a second storage section, a storage control section, and a computation section. The storage control section sequentially acquires block images obtained as a result of dividing an input image, and stores the block image as a target block image in the first storage section, while storing, in the second storage section, image data of, in a region of the target block image, a region abutting un-inputted block images in the input image, as image data of an abuttal region. The computation section implements a resizing process for changing the size of the target block image by performing an interpolation calculation using image data of the target block image stored in the first storage section and the image data of the abuttal region stored in the second storage section.
