Abstract
An image processing apparatus and method for inputting image data and coding the image data using inter-frame correlation in which image data of a desired frame out of the image data input is intra-frame coded. The image processing apparatus includes an imaging block, a coding block for coding the image data imaged by the imaging block using inter-frame correlation, a command block for activating still image taking, and a control block for controlling the coding block so that the still image data obtained by the command block is intra-frame coded.
