Abstract
In a pixel region in a frame of image data, calculation contents are switched over in robustness. An imaging circuit includes an image sensor, a processing element, and an instruction control section. An image sensor generates image data by photoelectrically converting an image signal from an object. A processing element processes line data included in image data in parallel. An instruction control section selects one of a plurality of programs correspondingly to a line count of line data, and supplies an instruction sequence of the selected program to a plurality of processing elements.
