ABSTRACT:
An image processing apparatus capable of regulating memory increase to realize cost reduction while securing the degree of freedom in programming by means of a small-sized programmable data processing section, and thereby improving processing performance. A programmable data processing section comprises two processing sections capable of performing different processings simultaneously. Each of the processing sections repeatedly executes the steps of: reading image data from an image data storage section; reading mutually different processing programs from a processing program storage section; executing a predetermined processing in parallel on the image data; and returning the processed image data to the image data storage section.
