Abstract:
1. An imaging apparatus comprising: an image processor for generating image data from a light input into an imaging device; an encoder for encoding the image data to generate encoded image data; and a storage unit for storing the encoded image data, wherein the image processor horizontally divides the image data into a plurality of blocks and supplies the divided blocks to the encoder, and includes one or more filter units for performing a predetermined filter processing for the image data and a filter controller for controlling the filter processing of the filter unit, wherein the filter controller acquires a number of vertical pixels of the image data, and controls the one or more filter units such that when the number of vertical pixels of the image data is indivisible by a number of vertical pixels corresponding to a preset encoding unit, data in a last row of the image data is copied and the copied data is added to the image data until the number of vertical pixels of the image data is divisible.
