PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image processing method of a visual device, which obtains a planar image with required resolution from an image, using a wide viewing angle obtained by a fish-eye lens, and to provide an image processing apparatus. SOLUTION: In the visual device including a camera 1, provided with the fish-eye lens and a camera direction changing means (actuator 2), image processing is performed through a step (S2) of setting an area with a prescribed resolution, a step (S2) of imaging with the camera, a step (S3) of converting the imaged by the camera to a planar image with resolution based on the prescribed resolution, a step (S6) of determining whether an object exists within an area with prescribed resolution of the plane image, and a step (S8) of changing the direction of the camera so as to capture the object within the area with prescribed resolution, when it is determined that the object does not exist within the area of the prescribed resolution.
