An image processing apparatus capable of extracting edge information accurate enough to be able to be utilized for anti-aliasing without rendering of pixels other than the originally necessary drawn pixels and without inducing a drop in the drawing speed, including an anti-aliasing system for restoring edge information for an x-direction and a y-direction in screen coordinates from an image after drawing, determining a processing content necessary for the anti-aliasing from the obtained edge information, and performing the determined processing. Specifically, by scanning either of the information of a z-buffer and the information of the normal vector at each pixel obtained at the time of drawing, or both information, or by using the information of normal vectors restored from the information of the z-buffer, the anti-aliasing is applied to each pixel.
