Abstract

An image processing apparatus includes a first storage section and a second storage section, a storage control section, and a computation section. The storage control section sequentially acquires block images obtained as a result of dividing an input image, and stores the block image as a target block image in the first storage section, while storing, in the second storage section, image data of, in a region of the target block image, a region abutting un-inputted block images in the input image, as image data of an abuttal region. The computation section implements a resizing process for changing the size of the target block image by performing an interpolation calculation using image data of the target block image stored in the first storage section and the image data of the abuttal region stored in the second storage section.
