Abstract
An image processing apparatus including: an image source acquiring unit that acquires an image source; a determining unit that determines whether the image source acquired is a moving image source; a setting unit that sets a matrix size used in a noise elimination of a first plane to be larger than a matrix size used in a noise elimination of a second plane if the image source is a moving image source and sets the matrix size used in the noise elimination of the second plane to be larger than the matrix size used in the noise elimination of the first plane if the image source is a still image source; and a noise elimination unit that executes the noise elimination of the luminance and color difference planes on image data from the image source using the size of the matrix of the smoothing range.
