APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING IMAGE DATA WITH MULTIPLE FLIP-FLOP STORAGES

An image processing system includes a first flip-flop bank and a second flip-flop bank, and a control system configured to control JPEG processing of image data. The control system is further configured to, during a first period, use one of the first or second flip-flop banks as a write bank and the other of the first or second flip-flop banks as a read bank and, during a second period, alternate the use of the first and second flip-flop banks as the write bank and the read bank. Further, the control system is configured to, after alternating the use, initialize the read bank to zero.
