US Patent 9571838 Image processing apparatus and image processing method

Provided is an image processing apparatus including: a decoding section configured to decode a prediction parameter including a gain and an offset by which each color component of a first layer is multiplied, the prediction parameter being used when an image of a second layer having a larger luminance dynamic range than the first layer is predicted from an image of the first layer, and a prediction section configured to predict the image of the second layer from the image of the first layer using the prediction parameter decoded by the decoding section.
