Abstract
An image processing apparatus for processing pixels is disclosed. The image processing apparatus comprises one or more functional blocks adapted to perform a corresponding functional task on the pixels. Further, the image processing apparatus includes one or more line-delay elements for delaying a horizontal scan line of the pixels. A desired processing task, which includes at least one functional task, is performed by configuring each functional block based on an actual number of the line-delay elements used for performing the desired processing task. Each functional block used for performing the desired processing task receives a group of pixels for processing from one or more horizontal scan lines such that the group overlaps another group of pixels for processing from one or more horizontal scan lines by another functional block.
