An image processing apparatus and method that can be applied to an image encoding apparatus that carries out encoding in accordance with, for example, a H.264/AVC method. A high-symmetry interpolation filter of variable filter coefficients has a number of pixels, to which symmetry determined in advance is applied, greater than that of a low-symmetry interpolation filter. The high-symmetry interpolation filter carries out a filter process for a reference image from a frame memory using filter coefficients calculated by a high-symmetry filter coefficient calculation portion and outputs the reference image after the variable filter process to a selector. The selector selects, when a slice of a processing object is a B slice, the reference image after the variable filter from the high-symmetry interpolation filter and outputs the selected image to a motion prediction second and a motion compensation portion under control of a control part.
