Abstract
An image processing apparatus for removing noise from a frame group on a timeline is provided. This image processing apparatus includes a judgment unit, a division unit, and a removal unit. The judgment unit judges whether changing points where there is a large change between adjacent frames included in the frame group appear at roughly the same interval along the timeline. The division unit, in a case where it is judged that the changing points appear at roughly the same interval, divides the frame group into a plurality of groupings along the timeline in accordance with the interval. The removal unit removes noise from the frame group in units of the groupings.
