An in-vehicle system includes a camera having an encoder encoding video obtained by the camera, an image processing apparatus which receives the encoded video from the camera, and an image recognition processing circuit performing image recognition on decoded video data from the image processing apparatus. The image processing apparatus includes a codec processing circuit which decodes the encoded video, a plurality of image processing circuits which execute tasks in parallel, an estimating circuit which estimates estimation time in which a process of the task is completed in each of the image processing circuit on the basis of the number of access times to a bus which is obtained on the basis of a parameter of decoding used in the codec processing circuit, and a scheduling circuit which schedules tasks to be executed by the plurality of image processing circuit on the basis of the estimation time.

Image processing apparatus and control method for the same

An image processing apparatus includes a request receiving unit that receives requests from a plurality of pieces of content, a variable-length code processing unit which decodes or encodes the content, a plurality of image signal processing units executing tasks according to the requests in parallel, an estimating unit that estimates estimate time by which a process of the task is completed in each of the image signal processing units on the basis of a parameter of decoding or encoding used in the variable-length code processing unit, and a scheduling unit that schedules tasks executed by the plurality of image signal processing units on the basis of estimation time estimated by the estimating unit.
