Abstract

An image processing apparatus comprises a receiving device for receiving encoded image data which is encoded by using orthogonal transform in a predetermined block unit, an error detecting device for detecting a transmission error of the encoded image data, a correcting device for correcting the transmission error in the predetermined block unit, and a decoding device for decoding the encoded image data and outputting image data for reproducing an image. The image processing apparatus satisfactorily controls the amount of compressed data and prevents a deterioration of image quality even if any error occurs on a transmission path, thereby reproducing good image quality.
