Abstract:
1. An image processing device comprising: (A) a storage section, the storage section storing programs of a plurality of types of image processing modules, respective image processing engines thereof having mutually different types or contents of image processings, each of the image processing modules having: (B) a constructing section constructing, in response to an instruction of a desired image processing by a user, an image processing section for performing the desired image processing, which is formed by individual modules being connected in a pipeline form or a directed acyclic graph form, such that a buffer module is connected to each of the modules, and selects, on the basis of attributes of an image which is an object of the desired image processing and processing parameters which designate a type of the desired image processing to be executed, one or more image processing modules from among the plurality of types of image processing modules, the buffer module having: wherein the image processing device carries out the desired image processing on the image which is the object of the desired image processing, by the image processing section which is constructed by the constructing section.
