Abstract

See full text

An image processing apparatus sets one of a plurality of obtained images as a reference image, and detects a motion vector relative to the reference image for the other images. A scalar amount of the detected motion vector is compared with a threshold value representing an image displacement limit for combining an image with the reference image, and whether a condition for combining with the reference image is satisfied is determined. If the condition is satisfied, a corresponding image is moved to cancel the detected motion vector and combined with the reference image, and an image in which displacement between images has been corrected is output. The threshold value is changed by a control unit depending on an image-capturing setting set when the plurality of images are captured, the condition of an object image in the plurality of captured images, or the like.
