Abstract
An image processing apparatus for generating a motion compensation image. The image processing apparatus includes: a pixel-relative-position calculation section calculating a relative position between a pixel position of a pixel constituting the motion compensation image and a pixel position of a reference pixel of a reference image to be used for calculating a pixel value of the pixel on the basis of motion vector information; a relative-position quantization section performing quantization processing of relative-position information calculated by the pixel-relative-position calculation section and generating quantized-relative-position information; and a motion-compensation-image generation section generating a motion compensation image by calculating a pixel value of a constituent pixel of the motion compensation image on the basis of the quantized-relative-position information and a pixel value of the reference pixel.
