IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM AND IMAGE DECODING APPARATUS

To provide an image processing system and an image decoding apparatus that can limit compression ratio decrease and image quality deterioration and efficiently reduce an information amount.An image processing system that compresses and transmits an input image signal including pixel values corresponding to respective pixels, including: a dynamic range compression unit configured to compress, by a predetermined coefficient, a dynamic range of each of the pixel values corresponding to a background region other than a region of interest (ROI) designated as a desired region for the pixel values in an image based on the input image signal, to generate a low dynamic range image signal; a coding compression unit configured to compress the low dynamic range image signal in accordance with a predetermined image coding scheme to generate compressed image data; and a bit stream transmitter configured to output a bit stream signal including ROI information, the predetermined coefficient and the compressed image data.
