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 1):
An image processing apparatus comprising:\n a first image processing unit configured to perform image processing on image data output from an image capturing unit; and a second image processing unit configured to perform image processing on the image data output from the image capturing unit, wherein the image processing on the image data can be switched between a first processing mode and a second processing mode, wherein in the first processing mode, image processing is performed by one of the first image processing unit and the second image processing unit on a frame-by-frame basis, and in the second processing mode, a first portion of the image data of one frame is processed by the first image processing unit, a second portion different from the first portion is processed by the second image processing unit, and the processed portions of the image data are combined.
