IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image processing system capable of effectively synchronizing the processing by a CPU or a dedicated processing device and the data passing processing between pipeline stages. SOLUTION: The image processing system comprises a first image processing device 20 for reading a first image written in a main memory 3, and after providing first processing to it, writing it to the main memory as a second image, a second image processing device 40 for reading the second image written to the main memory, and after providing second processing to it, writing it to the main memory as a third image, and an address monitoring device 10 for monitoring an address of the image written to the main memory, and starting the first processing when the address becomes a predetermined first value, and the second processing when the address become a predetermined second value.
