Abstract
In continuously writing image data transferred from an image plane spreading two-dimensionally in a memory plane spreading two-dimensionally, or continuously reading out image data from the memory plane, a first address for accessing image data of a predetermined unit block in the image plane is converted into a second address. The image data of the unit block is stored as one-row image data in a one-row storage area of the memory plane which is designated by the second address. Predetermined image processing of the image data corresponding to the unit block is performed by reading out the image data from the one-row storage area in the row direction in the memory plane.
