Abstract
An image processing device includes an interpolation color processing circuit receiving images of continuous frames to perform interpolation and color processing thereon, a storage part cyclically storing a plurality of frames of images being processed and having been processed by the interpolation color processing circuit, a plurality of image compression processing circuits reading the images of frames processed by the interpolation color processing circuit to perform image compression processing on the images and being cyclically started up for each of frames to perform parallel processing, and a compression data storage part storing compression data processed by the image compression processing circuit. The image processing device can solve a problem of a prior art in that long processing time is required because image compression processing is heavier than interpolation processing and color processing.
