Abstract

The present technology relates to an image processing apparatus, an image processing method, and a projection apparatus that can improve brightness of a projected image while satisfying a safety standard for laser products. A saturation emphasis processing unit determines, in accordance with saturation of an image, a first emphasis coefficient that emphasizes luminance of the image, and converts a luminance signal of the image on the basis of the determined first emphasis coefficient. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a laser beam scanning type projection apparatus or the like that performs scanning with a laser beam as a light source.
