Patent ID: 8885966

Claim:
An image processing apparatus comprising: an information management circuit that manages image information that indicates a state relating to image quality of an image that an image signal represents and control information for each image process which regulates a degree of an image process; an analysis circuit that analyzes an input image signal that is input; a first processing circuit that performs a first image process on the input image signal based on first control information that is the corresponding control information; and a second processing circuit that performs a second image process on an image signal on which the first processing circuit has performed an image process based on second control information that is the corresponding control information, wherein the information management circuit sets image information that corresponds to the input image signal and the first control information based on an analysis result by the analysis circuit, updates the image information based on the set first control information to obtain updated image information, and sets the second control information based on the updated image information and the first control information, in which the second control information is different from the first control information, such that (i) the first control information is set based on a state of image quality of the input signal and (ii) the second control information is set based on a state of image quality after completion of the first image process and not based on the state of the image quality of the input signal.
