Abstract
For image processing for repeatedly executing process segment sets including N (N is an integer of 3 or greater) unit process segments Lc, Lm, Ly, Lk, Llc, Llm and Ldy, unit process segments are executed by M (M is an integer of 2 or greater but less than N) processing units. The unit process segments include a first-type unit process segments Lc, Llc, Llm, and Lk for performing processing using a first processing method and a second-type unit process segment Lm, Ly and Ldy for performing processing using a second processing method that is different from the first processing method. Then, when executing process segment sets, the M unit process segments including at least one each of the first-type and the second-type unit process segments Lc, Lm are first executed on the M processing units.
