Image processing apparatus and image processing method for transferring image data
The order of the respective elements constituting image data is changed according to an order specified by a designated operation mode. The resultant data are transferred to a memory in a predetermined transfer unit. The respective elements constituting the data transferred to the memory are then processed after changing to the order before changing the order according to the above order.
1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
one or more hardware processors configured to cause the image processing apparatus to:
acquire image data,
determine first information related to a data amount corresponding to one pixel of the acquired image data, second information related to a data amount corresponding to a writing unit of a memory into which the acquired image data is written, and third information related to a designated display mode,
determine a change pattern of an order of bit data of the acquired image data such that bit data corresponding to the data amount indicated by the second information among bit data of a first pixel is written into the memory, bit data of a second pixel is written into the memory, and after that, remaining bit data of the first pixel is written into the memory in a case where the data amount indicated by the first information is larger than the data amount indicated by the second information, and the display mode indicated by the third information is a mute mode,
change an order of bit data of the acquired image data in accordance with the determined change pattern, and
read out image data written in the memory, change the order of bit data of the readout image data based on the determined change pattern, and output the bit data whose order is changed based on the determined change pattern.
2. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more hardware processors are further configured to cause the image processing apparatus to perform image processing for the readout image data.
3. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the display mode is selected from a first mode of displaying a video corresponding to an externally acquired video signal and the mute mode of displaying a predetermined image which does not change with a lapse of time.
4. The apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the display mode is determined by analysis of image data acquired by the image processing apparatus.
5. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein when the mute mode is set as the display mode, the order of bit data of the image data changes in accordance with the change pattern based on R, G, and B values of a plurality of pixels constituting a predetermined image.
6. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a predetermined image whose pixel values of one or more specific color components are 0 and pixel values of a remaining color component are not 0 is displayed in the mute mode.
7. An image processing method comprising:
acquiring image data;
determining first information related to a data amount corresponding to one pixel of the acquired image data, second information related to a data amount corresponding to a writing unit of a memory into which the acquired image data is written, and third information related to a designated display mode,
determining a change pattern of an order of bit data of the acquired image data such that bit data corresponding to the data amount indicated by the second information among bit data of a first pixel is written into the memory, bit data of a second pixel is written into the memory, and after that, remaining bit data of the first pixel is written into the memory in a case where the data amount indicated by the first information is larger than the data amount indicated by the second information, and the display mode indicated by the third information is a mute mode;
changing an order of bit data of the acquired image data in accordance with the determined change pattern; and
reading out image data written in the memory, changing the order of bit data of the readout image data based on the determined change pattern, and outputting the bit data whose order is changed based on the determined change pattern.
8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the display mode is selected from a first mode of displaying a video corresponding to an externally acquired video signal and the mute mode of displaying a predetermined image which does not change with a lapse of time.
9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program for causing a computer to execute:
acquiring image data;
determining first information related to a data amount corresponding to one pixel of the acquired image data, second information related to a data amount corresponding to a writing unit of a memory into which the acquired image data is written, and third information related to a designated display mode,
determining a change pattern of an order of bit data of the acquired image data such that bit data corresponding to the data amount indicated by the second information among bit data of a first pixel is written into the memory, bit data of a second pixel is written into the memory, and after that, remaining bit data of the first pixel is written into the memory in a case where the data amount indicated by the first information is larger than the data amount indicated by the second information, and the display mode indicated by the third information is a mute mode;
changing an order of bit data of the acquired image data in accordance with the determined change pattern; and
reading out image data written in the memory, changing the order of bit data of the readout image data based on the determined change pattern, and outputting the bit data whose order is changed based on the determined change pattern.
10. The medium according to claim 9 , wherein the display mode is selected from a first mode of displaying a video corresponding to an externally acquired video signal and the mute mode of displaying a predetermined image which does not change with a lapse of time.
