20080310516 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD - An image processing apparatus includes: input means for inputting a video signal; decoding means for decoding the video signal; filtering means for performing predetermined filtering on the decoded video signal; and control means for calculating an average bit rate by dividing an amount of bits generated per predetermined data unit from the decoded video signal, and controlling a characteristic of the filtering in accordance with the average bit rate. When the video signal is input per image file, the control means calculates the average bit rate by dividing a file size of the image file by a playback time corresponding to the file size, and when the video signal input is sequentially input per picture, the control means calculates the average bit rate by dividing a sum of generated bits per picture for a predetermined number of frames by the predetermined number of frames and the frame rate. | 12-18-2008 |
