The present invention presents an image processing apparatus that performs rotation, enlargement, reduction, clipping or overlapping processing of images at high speed using low capacity memories instead of page memories and without the need to read image data in repetition. A first band data storing element receives input image data line by line and stores it as local data. The local data stored in the first band data storing element is transformed by local data transforming element and then stored in a transformed data storing element. The local data is then read in the order it is to be output and stored in a second band data storing element. An image output element then outputs the local data as an output image.

The present invention provides a variable-length code decoder for inputting a code data bit string having a predetermined number of code data bits in every decoding cycle and decoding it, which comprises storing means for storing a decoded symbol and a node in a code tree in the next decoding cycle corresponding to each combination of a value of the code data bit string and a node in the code tree, reading means for reading the decoded symbol and the node in the code tree in the next decoding cycle from the storing means in accordance with the code data bit string inputted in a current decoding cycle and the node in the code tree in the current decoding cycle, outputting means for outputting the decoded symbol read by the reading means, and providing means for providing the node in the code tree in the next decoding cycle read by the reading means to the reading means.
