An image processing apparatus includes a storage unit in which regression coefficient data is stored for each class on the basis of a tap in which a linear feature amount corresponding to a pixel of interest of first image data and a non-linear feature amount determined from the image data are used as elements; a classification unit configured to classify each of linear feature amounts of a plurality of items of input data of the input first image into a predetermined class; a reading unit configured to read the regression coefficient data; and a data generation unit configured to generate data of a second image obtained by making the first image have higher quality by performing a product-sum computation process by using the regression coefficient data read from the reading unit and elements of the tap of each of the plurality of items of input data of the input first image.
