Abstract
Provided is an image processing apparatus capable of simultaneous reduction in memory capacity and compressibility error. An output image data generating meansgenerates processed image data based on specific reference data and preprocessed image data. Reference data generating meansrepeatedly executes an identical processing in one term made up of not less than two consecutive frames. When an object frame is a top frame in the term, restored reference data generated by data expanding meansis outputted as data expanding means. When the object frame is a second or subsequent frame in the term, simulated specific reference data is generated based on the restored reference data generated by the data expanding meansand preprocessed image data of the object frame, and outputted as specific reference data. When the object frame is a final frame in the term, in addition to the above operation, the reference data is generated based on the specific reference data and preprocessed image data of the object frame, and outputted to the data compressing means, to be compressed.
