Abstract
For image processes performed repeatedly using a plurality of processing units on a plurality of partial images aligned mutually adjacent to each other, specified processing is performed. This image process includes (i) a first-type process segment on first partial image data representing a partial image to generate M types (M is an integer of 2 or greater) of second partial image data; and (ii) the respectively corresponding M types of second-type process segments on the M types of second partial image data. When executing image processing, parallel processing is performed for the second-type process segment relating to the i-th (i is a positive integer) partial image and the first-type process segment relating to any of the (i+1)-th to the (i+p)-th (p is a positive integer) partial images.
