Abstract

When image data coded by a DCT coding method in a predetermined block size is to be decoded, an image processing apparatus extracts necessary DCT coefficients of a block on the basis of an enlargement/reduction ratio determined in advance, then decodes the extracted DCT coefficients. Thereby it is possible to produce a reduced image at high speed without using a memory of high capacity.
