Abstract
An image processing device includes: an image sensor generating raw image data; a pipeline processing unit executing, on the raw image data, an image processing group such that image data which is a result of image processing in a preceding stage becomes a target of image processing in a subsequent stage; an extended image processing unit executing extended image processing different from each image processing included in the image processing group; a storage unit storing a definition for identifying target image processing to be bypassed and a definition indicating that image processing to be executed before and/or after bypassing is the extended image processing; and a switching unit switching, on the basis of the definitions stored upon satisfaction of a switching condition, a processing flow in the image processing group such that intermediate image data becomes the target of the extended image processing.
