Patent ID: 8687079

Claim:
A portable imaging apparatus comprising: imaging means for obtaining imaging data of a first rate; data dividing means for distributing the imaging data of the first rate, which is captured by the imaging means, in units of frames and dividing the imaging data into N channels of moving image data of a second rate that is a rate that is 1/N the first rate (where N is a positive integer); and N image processing means for processing concurrently and in parallel the N channels of moving image data obtained by the data dividing means, the processing for each of the N channels including color conversion processing, wherein the imaging means, the data dividing means and the N image processing means are integrated into the portable imaging apparatus, and wherein the N image processing means processes the N channels of moving image data concurrently by processing the N channels of moving image data at the same time, wherein the color conversion processing converts pixel data based on an RGB color space into pixel data based on a YCbCr color space.
