<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image processing apparatus which, in an image obtained by stitching two input images having an overlapped area, enables a smooth transition between the overlapped area and the non-overlapped area. <P>SOLUTION: An image processing apparatus includes: a first registration device for performing, by taking a first input image as a reference image, a first registration on a second input image, to find, in the second input image, a second pixel which is matched with each first pixel located in the overlapped area of the reference image; an output pixel location determination device for calculating a location of an output pixel which corresponds to the first pixel in the output image on the basis of locations of the first and second pixels, in which the locations of the first and second pixels are respectively weighted, and the shorter the minimum distance from the first pixel to a non-overlapped area of the reference image is, the greater a weight of the location of the first pixel is; and an output pixel value determination device for calculating a pixel value of the output pixel on the basis of the pixel value of at least one of the first and second pixels. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
