Abstract
There is provided an image processing apparatus which includes a division unit dividing an image into a plurality of images in a bit depth direction, and an encoding unit encoding respectively some or all of the plurality of images acquired by dividing the image in the bit depth direction by the division unit.
Claims20
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a division unit dividing an image into a plurality of images in a bit depth direction;
- and
- an encoding unit encoding respectively some or all of the plurality of images acquired by dividing the image in the bit depth direction by the division unit.
An image processing method of an image processing apparatus comprising:
- dividing an image into a plurality of images in a bit depth direction by a division unit;
- and
- encoding respectively some or all of the plurality of images divided in the bit depth direction by an encoding unit.
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a separation unit separating a code stream of one system, which is formed by encoding a plurality of images separated from a same image in a bit depth direction and multiplexing code streams of the encoded images, for each code stream of each of the images;
- and
- a decoding unit decoding the code stream of each of the images obtained by separating the code stream of one system by the separation unit.
