ABSTRACT:
An image processor includes a forming unit which measures a feature of a first image and a feature of a second image for a plurality of pixels other than an encode objective pixel, thereby forming a first measurement result and a second measurement result, respectively. An encoder determines an encoding method of the encode objective pixel on the basis of a plurality of the first measurement results and a plurality of the second measurement results, and encodes by using the determined encoding method.
