Abstract:
An image processor includes a memory calculating unit, a storing unit, a mode selecting unit, and a Retinex process performing unit. The memory amount calculating unit calculates, based on an original size of an original image having an original pixels, a required memory amount required for performing a Retinex process on the original image. The storing unit has a usable memory area that can be used in performing the Retinex process on the original image. The usable memory area has a usable memory amount. The mode selecting unit selects a mode from among a plurality of modes based on both the usable memory amount and the required memory amount. The Retinex process performing unit performs the Retinex process on the original image in the selected mode.
