Original Abstract Submitted
There is provided an image processing apparatus and an image processing method capable of reducing deterioration of a chrominance component in resolution reduction. A conversion unit performs reduction processing of reducing resolution of at least a luminance component of an image including the luminance component and two chrominance components to convert a chroma format of the image, and the encoding unit encodes the image in which the chroma format has been converted to generate a bitstream. The present technology can be applied to, for example, an image encoding apparatus and an image decoding apparatus.
