<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image processing apparatus and an image processing method, which obtain a reduced image with high quality even when reduction processing at any magnification is carried out, in a configuration provided with a data processing section for realizing reduction of image data by means of hardware. <P>SOLUTION: A magnification block 8 and a second reduction block 10 connected in series magnify or reduce an image comprising YUV data transferred from a Bayer interpolation block 5 or read from a memory 3 and transferred via a switch 7 into an image of a target size in response to a requested magnification. A combined magnification in response to the requested magnification is set to the magnification block 8 and the second reduction block 10. While attaining the magnification or reduction by the requested magnification, reduction processing at a reduction rate at which image deterioration is always caused can be carried out by the reduction processing section. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
