Abstract
An image processing apparatus including an inter-prediction section that generates a set of reference pixels of fractional pixel positions from a reference image for motion compensation and searches an image to be encoded for a motion vector by using the set of generated reference pixels and an encoding section that encodes the image to be encoded on a basis of a result of searching for the motion vector by the inter-prediction section. The inter-prediction section includes a reference pixel at a fractional pixel position further inward than a first predetermined distance from a boundary of a partial region corresponding to a slice or a tile, in the set of reference pixels that are used for searching the partial region for a motion vector.
