Abstract
The present invention provides a semiconductor device enabling efficient compression without increasing the circuit size and a processing method using the semiconductor device. According to an embodiment, an image processor includes: a coding circuit to perform image processing on a target image divided into a plurality of tiles, the image processing being performed on each of the tiles; a determination circuit to determine whether a tile boundary is included in the area of an image block serving as a unit of compression of the target image; and a compression circuit to compress the image block image-processed by the coding circuit, according to a determination result of the determination circuit.
