Abstract
An image processing apparatus and an image processing method are provided for enhancing the picture quality of images by extracting additional information from non-standard signals without an error. A signal determination unit receives an image signal including an image interval containing an image and an additional information interval containing additional information regarding the image. A determination is made as to whether the additional information exists in the additional information interval. An additional information extractor extracts and outputs the additional information from the additional information interval, if the signal determination unit determines that the additional information exists in the additional information interval.
