Abstract
[Object]To avoid an image quality deterioration due to image processing while maintaining a resolution of an image in a variable-rate-controlled stream. [Solving Means]An image processing apparatus includes a resolution acquisition section, an image enlargement and reduction section, and an image conversion section. The resolution acquisition section acquires a resolution of each of a plurality of temporally-consecutive images. An enlargement and reduction percentage generation section generates an enlargement and reduction percentage for each of the plurality of images based on the acquired resolution. The image enlargement and reduction section performs image enlargement and reduction processing on each of the plurality of images according to the generated enlargement and reduction percentage. The image conversion section performs image conversion processing on each of the plurality of images subjected to the image enlargement and reduction processing.
