Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an image processing apparatus and an image processing method which enable sufficient increase in an SNR of a dark place in a moving image. An image sensor has a plurality of pixels whose image pickup signal has a read interval as a first multiple of a vertical synchronization period or as a second multiple larger than the first multiple of the vertical synchronization period. A frame memory holds an image pickup signal of a long-time accumulated pixel as the pixel having a read interval as the second multiple of the vertical synchronization period. The present disclosure can be applied to an image processing apparatus which includes an image sensor and a frame memory and generates a moving image, and the like.
