1. An image processing apparatus, comprising:
an accepting unit to accept a request of an integration degree from a user;
a setting unit to determine a number of static images to form each of frames based on the integration degree accepted by the accepting unit;
a compressing unit to compress and encode image data of static images in accordance with a JPEG 2000 algorithm and generate first code data sets;
a storing unit to store the first code data sets that are compressed by the compressing unit; and
a code sequence converting unit to convert the first code data sets being stored by the storing unit into second code data in conformity with Motion JPEG 2000,
wherein the code sequence converting unit comprises:
a dividing unit to divide each of the first code data sets into a header portion and a code portion;
a header processing unit to generate a new tile part header for a selected first code data set, and provide a tile index for each of tile part headers including the new tile part header; and
a synthesizing unit to synthesize the selected first code data set to be the second code data in conformity with Motion JPEG 2000,
wherein the static images are integrated for each of the frames with the number of static images determined by the setting unit in the second code data.
