IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS

An image processing apparatus includes a memory having a first region and a second region. The first memory region holds original image data. A first calculation device calculates addresses of segments of the first memory region. A second calculation device calculates addresses of segments of the second memory region. The original image data are transferred from the first memory region to the second memory region in accordance with the calculated addresses of the segments of the first and second memory regions. The first calculation device and the second calculation device are mutually independent. The calculation of the addresses of the segments of the first memory region is performed simultaneously with the calculation of the addresses of the segments of the second memory region.
