An image processing apparatus performs a downsampling process on image data, and supplies the image data after the downsampling process to a display device as image data for use in a display. Further, the image processing apparatus includes: a segmentation process section which performs a segmentation process on the image data; and a spatial filter section which performs first image processing that varies according to a result of the segmentation process. When a degree of downsampling in the downsampling process is not higher than a predetermined reference level, the spatial filter section performing the first image processing on the image data; and when the degree of downsampling in the downsampling process is higher than the predetermined reference level, the spatial filter section performs second image processing irrelevant to the result of the segmentation process, instead of performing the first image processing, on the image data. This brings about an advantage of making it possible to suppress deterioration in quality of an image whose preview is displayed. |
