  • Patent number: 9741086
    Abstract: The present invention provides an image processing method that allows filter processing to be easily and appropriately performed on divided images. An image processing unit 105 performs the filter processing on pixels in a divided image 1, and pixels that do not require reference to pixels in a divided image 3 that are not stored in a pixel storage unit 103, among margin pixels 3T stored in the pixel storage unit 103. Further, an image processing unit 106, which performs the filter processing in parallel with the image processing unit 105, performs the filter processing on pixels that do not require reference to the pixels in the divided image 1, among pixels in the divided image 3.

  • Patent number: 9646403
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus inputs an image and then reads out, from a memory, to perform image processing for an image of a second region of the input image, an image of a region superimposed on the second region, and an image of a part of a first region adjacent to the second region, and controls a position of padding, wherein the padding results from image reduction of the first region, performed before the image processing for the image of the second region, so that the padding that results from the image reduction of the first region is not read out for the image processing for the image of the second region.

    Abstract: An image processing apparatus reads out part of an image of a first partial region of an input image and an image of a second partial region adjacent to the first partial region to perform image processing for the image of the second partial region, controls a position of padding, which is occurred by the image processing for the image of the first partial region which is performed before image processing for the image of the second partial region, so that the padding is not read out for image processing for the image of the second partial region.

  • Patent number: 9154665
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus reads an image out of a frame buffer by vertically flipping the image, writes the image into an output line buffer by horizontally flipping the image, divides each line, and simultaneously outputs the resulting line segments. Methods for vertical flipping, horizontal flipping, and simultaneous output are changed according to the output settings.
