Abstract
The present invention provides an image processing device in which an image processing section for configuring a pipeline by connecting a plurality of processing modules for performing predetermined processing on input image data in series performs image processing for each block obtained by dividing image data of one frame read from a data storage section via a data bus, wherein the image processing section includes an external input/output module incorporated into the pipeline as a processing module configured to perform processing different from processing of each of the processing modules and wherein the external input/output module is configured to directly transmit data from and to an external processing section outside the image processing section without involving the data bus at a position where the external input/output module is incorporated into the pipeline.
