Abstract
A high speed, multi-function and expandable image processing LSI (image signal processor) for realizing a gray level image processing technique is disclosed. The architecture of the image signal processor can process a gray level image having 256 tones at a video rate (256.times.256 image, 6 MHz, non-interlace), allows expansion of a partial operation area (kernel) and can carry out various partial neighborhood operations. The image signal processor is a partial parallel type image processing LSI which carries out a parallel operation by using the same number of processor elements as that of input pixel data used to produce one output pixel of data.
