Abstract
An image processing device includes a main SoC, an performance-enhancing SoC, and an external circuit set outside any of the two SoCs. The main SoC includes: a data splitter dividing input image data into a first input part and a second input part; a first image processing circuit processing the first input part to generate a first output part; and a transmitter outputting the second input part to the performance-enhancing SoC via the external circuit. The performance-enhancing SoC includes: a receiver receiving the second input part via the external circuit; and a second image processing circuit processing the second input part to generate a second output part. The combination of the two output parts jointly determines a data amount per unit of time which exceeds the processing capability of any of the two image processing circuits. Each of the two SoCs includes a CPU, and the two CPUs cooperate, too.
