Abstract

An image processing apparatus including a decoding unit configured to decode encoded stereoscopic dynamic image data containing a consecutive picture pair having a disparity, for each block into which the picture has been divided, and to detect a decoding error, an estimation unit configured to perform first estimation processing of estimating, as a disparity of an error block between an error picture including an error block in which the decoding error has been detected and a paired picture thereof, a disparity of a corresponding-location corresponding to the error block between an approximate picture and a paired picture thereof, and a correction unit configured to correct the decoding error by applying, to the error block, a block located at a position shifted by an amount of the estimated disparity from the corresponding-location in the paired picture of the error picture.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An image processing apparatus, comprising:
a decoding unit configured to decode encoded stereoscopic dynamic image data containing a plurality of picture pairs each having a disparity, for each block into which the picture is divided, and to detect an error block in which a decoding error is generated while decoding;
an estimation unit configured to perform a first estimation processing including
detecting, among pictures which are decoded prior to an err…
