Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus which encodes respective frames that form a moving image, comprising: an extraction unit configured to extract a specific area from a frame based on an object appearing in the frame; an evaluation unit configured to obtain an evaluation value of the specific area; a determination unit configured to determine, on the basis of the evaluation value of the specific area in a preceding frame preceding the frame, an encoding parameter being used for encoding the specific area in the frame so that a code amount of the specific area in the frame is smaller than a code amount of the specific area in the preceding frame in a case where the evaluation values of the specific areas in the frame and preceding frame exceed a predetermined threshold, wherein an object which is detected from the frame for extracting the specific area from the frame corresponds to an object which is detected from the preceding frame for extracting the specific area from the preceding frame; and an encoding unit configured to encode the specific area in the frame on the basis of the encoding parameter which is determined by said determination unit for the frame.
