Abstract

An apparatus takes data read out in parallel from m rows (2≤m<M) of a region, of an image sensor having M×N pixels, and stores n columns' worth (2≤n<N) of the read-out data in first memory. The apparatus stores the M×N pixels' worth of data in second memory by storing m×n pixels' worth of data in units of o×p pixels (2≤o<m, 2≤p≤n), and transfers the M×N pixels' worth of data, to third memory in the units of o×p pixels. The apparatus outputs the data stored in the third memory one row at a time so that the data are arranged in the original order.
