Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes: a storage means for storing a decoded image in which pictures of a first image and a second image each having a disparity are alternately arranged, and performing local decoding, and a storage control means for performing storage control to control the storage of a reference picture in the storage means such that, from among the pictures which are encoded temporally earlier than a current picture in encoding process which is a picture to be encoded, and are capable of becoming reference pictures, a picture which is a picture of an image at the same viewpoint as the current picture in encoding process from among the first image and the second image and is closest to the current picture in encoding process in a display order is stored in the storage means.
