Abstract
In an image processing system in which shading-compensation for eliminating shading-distortion contained inevitably in image light directed to an image sensor via optical systems is carried out, at least two latch unit for temporarily storing comparative values obtained by scanning white and black image planes are disposed between memory means for the comparative values and a processing unit for compensating image signals obtained as a result of optically scanning a given objective image. Since the comparative value of the pixel subsequent to a pixel in process is rendered on standby in one of the latch units in preparation for the image processing for the subsequent pixel, the processing time can be remarkably increased consequently to speed up the image processing.
