An image processing apparatus has: a data memory configured to store image data; an RP register configured to hold a two-dimensional address indicating a position of an RP in a frame of image data; and an RP control section configured to control the two-dimensional address held by the RP register on the basis of the width and height of the frame. Furthermore, the image processing apparatus has an address calculation unit configured to, when reading target pixel data is read from the data memory on the basis of an instruction code provided with a field for specifying a two-dimensional relative position from the RP by a combination of two immediate values, calculate an address at which the reading target pixel data is stored, on the basis of the two-dimensional address, the combination of immediate values and the width of the frame.
