Abstract:
An image capturing apparatus cascade-connects an image processing circuit of a preceding stage and an image processing circuit of a succeeding stage and switches, in accordance with an image processing load, the method of processing so as to process image data from an image capturing unit by an image processing circuit of the preceding stage or the succeeding stage on a frame-by-frame basis, or so as to process the image data alternately by the image processing circuits of the preceding stage and the succeeding stage on a frame-by-frame basis, or so as to process half of a frame by the image processing circuit of the preceding stage and process the remaining half of the frame by the image processing circuit of the succeeding stage.

Claim (Index 5):
The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein in the second processing mode, the first image processing unit transfers the second portion which is a portion on an upper side of the image data of the one frame received from the image capturing unit to the second image processing unit, processes the image data of the first portion which is a portion on a lower side of the image data of the one frame received from the image capturing unit, and transfers the processed first portion of the image data to the second image processing unit, and\n the second image processing unit performs image processing on the image data received from the first image processing unit and combines the processed image data with the image data that has undergone image processing and has been received from the first image processing unit.
