Abstract
According to one embodiment, an image processing apparatus includes an encoding unit that compresses an input image for each pixel block having a size smaller than a line to generate a plurality of compressed blocks, and store the compressed blocks in a frame buffer, a reading unit that identifies an object block to be expanded among the compressed blocks, and reads the object block from the frame buffer, a decoding unit that expands the object block to generate an expanded block, and an information acquiring unit that acquires, based on the expanded block, position information used by the reading unit to identify the block to be expanded, or decode information used by the decoding unit to expand another compressed block.
