An image processing apparatus for processing an image includes the following elements. A repeating-component extracting unit extracts repeating components, which are repeatedly appearing, similar components in the image, from the image. A repeating-component location adjusting unit adjusts the location of the repeating components by equally locating the repeating components extracted by the repeating-component extracting unit at regular intervals on a screen. An area interpolator interpolates a representative value of an image without the repeating components into some of the areas forming the image in which the location of the repeating components is not adjusted. A feature information generator generates feature information indicating the repeating components in the image interpolated by the areas interpolator and a feature of the location of the repeating components.
