Abstract: Provided is an image processing apparatus capable of simultaneous reduction in memory capacity and compressibility error. An output image data generating means 11 generates processed image data based on specific reference data and preprocessed image data. Reference data generating means 5 repeatedly executes an identical processing in one term made up of not less than two consecutive frames. When an object frame is a top frame in the term, restored reference data generated by data expanding means 15 is outputted as data expanding means. When the object frame is a second or subsequent frame in the term, simulated specific reference data is generated based on the restored reference data generated by the data expanding means 15 and preprocessed image data of the object frame, and outputted as specific reference data.
