Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an image processing apparatus and a method which enable a sense of quality as if there were a real object to be more favorably reproduced. A characteristic control unit determines processing contents for controlling the sense of quality, for example, changing an image quality, adjusting a reflection characteristic, or changing a shape, on the basis of a physical characteristic parameter from a characteristic information integration unit and device information from a device information analyzer. The characteristic control unit supplies information on the determined processing contents to an image composition unit and an additional-information generation unit and causes the image composition unit and the additional-information generation unit to perform sense-of-quality control. That is, in the image processing apparatus, more realistic visual expression becomes possible with an image output of one device as well as an output other than an image from another device.
