13. An image processing method comprising:
outputting an image as a line-wise image line, through at least one first line buffer;
generating a feature map by performing a first convolution operation based on an output of the first line buffer, through a first convolution operator; and
storing an output of the first convolution operator in at least one line-wise unit and processing a feature map stored in at least one line-wise unit to be output in a two-dimensional (2D) form, through a feature map processor,
wherein at least one convolution operation is performed in a form of a pipeline.
