Abstract
An image processing apparatus comprises a specific object detection unit configured to detect a specific object from a moving image, a setting unit configured to set, in the moving image, based on a position of the specific object, a region of interest which is a region for performing an encoding process that produces a relatively higher image quality than in another region other than the region of interest, a moving object detection unit configured to detect a moving object from the moving image, and an encoding unit configured to perform an encoding process using, in the region of interest, an encoding parameter that can produce a relatively higher image quality than an encoding parameter used in the other region, when the moving object is detected in the region of interest.
