IMAGE PROCESSING

摘要

An image processing system is described herein in which a multi-line processing block has multiple inputs and multiple outputs. In order to provide the multiple outputs the multi-line processing block has multiple processing units operating in parallel on the multiple inputs. The multiple outputs of the multi-line processing block are coupled to corresponding multiple inputs of a subsequent multi-line processing block in the image processing system.

1. An image processing system comprising:
a first multi-line processing block comprising a plurality of inputs configured to receive, in parallel, pixel values relating to a respective plurality of pixel lines of an image, the first processing block comprising a plurality of processing units configured to operate in parallel with each other, wherein each of the processing units is configured to provide processed pixel values relating to a respective one of said pixel lines of the image by applying multi-line processing to the pixel values received at at least some of said inputs of the first processing block; the image processing system further comprising: a second multi-line processing block comprising a plurality of inputs configured to receive from the first processing block, in parallel, the processed pixel values provided by the processing units of the first processing block, the second processing block being configured to apply multi-line processing to the processed pixel values received from the first processing block.
