ABSTRACT:
An image data processor including a plurality of unit processors and processes a block of image data using the unit processors in parallel. Allotment ratios corresponding to the unit processors are stored in an allotment memory, and each of the unit processors processes its allotment of the block of image data according to its allotment ratio, whereby the lengths of time needed to process the allotments are equalized. The allotment ratios can be updated from time to time regarding the actual results of the processing time of the unit processors, or regarding the content of the image (which can be detected by sampling a part of the image data) and the type of data processing.
