IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE AND CAMERA THEREOF

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a highly versatile image processing device capable of establishing compatibility between low power consumption and multifunction capability and being usable for many systems.

SOLUTION: The image processing device for performing image processing for an image signal output from an image sensor and outputting the processed image signal is provided with an internal memory having line memories for storing an image per row or column, an image processor for performing the image processing by using the internal memory, and a CPU for controlling the image processor. The image processor has a plurality of processing circuits each performing predetermined processing as the image processing. At least one of the plurality of processing circuits is constituted so as to be able to use an external memory provided outside the image processing device as necessary.
