    Abstract: An in-vehicle image processing device capable of appropriately monitoring areas forward of, around, and rearward of a vehicle is provided at low cost. The device is for mounting on a vehicle and includes a camera, an image processing unit, and a determination unit. With a reflector provided in front of the camera, the camera can image, for display in a frame at a time, a first area forward of the vehicle and a second area, e.g. an area around the vehicle. In the image processing unit supplied with such image data from the camera, either the first-area image or the second-area image is appropriately processed whereas image processing is omitted for the other image. Alternatively, both images are subjected to a same image processing. The determination unit supplied with vehicle speed information supplies appropriate control instruction information based on the current vehicle speed to the image processing unit.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device capable of preventing a sharp variation in current consumption in neural network processing is provided. A dummy circuit outputs dummy data to at least one or more of n number of MAC circuits and causes the at least one or more of n number of MAC circuits to perform a dummy calculation and to output dummy output data. An output-side DMA controller transfers pieces of normal output data from the n number of MAC circuits to a memory, by use of n number of channels, respectively, and does not transfer the dummy output data to the memory. In this semiconductor device, the at least one or more of n number of MAC circuits perform the dummy calculation in a period from a timing at which the output-side DMA controller ends data transfer to the memory to a timing at which the input-side DMA controller starts data transfer from the memory.
