An image processing apparatus includes: a noise reduction processing amount calculator configured to calculate a noise reduction processing amount based on input image data and previous-frame output image data subjected to data compression/decompression processing; a feedback ratio correction unit configured, based on compression error information, to output the uncorrected noise reduction processing amount calculated by the noise reduction processing amount calculator with regard to a pixel having a noise reduction feedback ratio less than 100%, and to correct the noise reduction processing amount with regard to a pixel having a noise reduction feedback ratio of 100% or more such that the feedback ratio is less than 100%, and to output the corrected noise reduction processing amount; and an adder configured to add the noise reduction processing amount output from the feedback ratio correction unit to the input image data to thereby obtain output image data.
