Abstract
A method for managing image processing data buffers for processes having overlap input data between iterations includes loading a data buffer with an initial input data array and performing an image data array operation on the input data array. The method repeats the following steps for plural iterations including loading the data buffer with new input data forming a new input data array for a next iteration and performing the input data array operation on the new input data array. The overlap data consists of pixels at an end of each scan line. Loading new input data includes loading pixels following the overlap data for each scan line.
