An image processing apparatus according to the present invention includes a scaling unit, a coefficient texture processing unit, and a pixel data converter. A first array is passed to the scaling unit. In the first array, a plurality of pieces of pixel data is arranged in a matrix pattern. The scaling unit copies the pixel data included in the first array a predetermined number of times in the horizontal direction of the first array to configure a second array. The coefficient texture processing unit repetitively performs a computation using a predetermined coefficient texture for every predetermined number of pieces of pixel data included in the second array. The pixel data converter converts the components of the predetermined number of pieces of pixel data obtained by the computation using the coefficient texture into a predetermined pattern for every piece of pixel data. Particularly, the pixel data converter adds the components located at specific positions among the predetermined number of pieces of pixel data for every piece of pixel data to convert the components into one component.
