Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus, comprising: a transform processing unit that receives a plurality of source images, and executes a transforming process on respective source images of the plurality of source images, individually; a blend processing unit that executes a blending process on the plurality of transformed source images output by the transform processing unit, and generates a blended image; a control information storing unit that stores control information related to the transforming process of the transform processing unit and the blending process of the blend processing unit; a blending layout information generating unit that generates blending layout information indicative of overlay information on the plurality of transformed source images output from the transform processing unit in the transformed image; a source necessity information generating unit that generates source necessity information indicative of unnecessary areas of the plurality of source images for overwriting through the blending process of the blend processing unit in the plurality of source images, with reference to the blending layout information output by the blending layout information generating unit; a source necessity information storing memory that stores the source necessity information output by the source necessity information generating unit; and a source read masking unit that a read masking control so as not to implement a read access to the source image data of the unnecessary area with reference to the source necessity information in the source necessity information storing memory at the time of reading the respective source images of the plurality of source images from an image memory.
