Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus comprising: a decoding processor including a decoder configured to decode encoded data of image data of one frame having a plurality of pixels encoded by a variable length coding method and generate decoded data, and a data transfer unit configured to select decoded data in a target partial region on which an image processing is to be performed as partial image data out of the decoded data inputted from the decoder and to store the selected partial image data in a storage device; an image processor configured to read the partial image data stored in the storage device and perform the given image processing on the partial image data and store the image-processed partial image data in the storage device; and a data transfer controller configured to control data transfer of data in the decoding processor and the image processor such that the partial image data stored in the storage device is overwritten by the image-processed partial image data, wherein the image processor includes at least a magnification processor configured to perform a magnification processing on the partial image data, and the data transfer controller configured to control data transfer of data in the decoding processor and the image processor such that an end address of a first region in the storage device configured to store the partial image data without magnification becomes substantially identical to an end address of a second region in the storage device configured to store the magnification-processed partial image data, and the first region and the second region overlap with each other.
