Claim Text:
1. A image processing apparatus that creates a transition moving image in which, among a first moving image and a second moving image, an image transitions from one to the other, the image processing apparatus comprising: a matching processing unit that searches for frame pairs of the first moving image and the second moving image which have similar images, on the basis of a level of similarity between images of frames that configure the first moving image and images of frames that configure the second moving image; a repositioning processing unit that repositions a plurality of the frame pairs in a time direction, which are lined up in time series, on the basis of a time lag of frames of the first moving image and a time lag of frames of the second moving image of mutually adjacent frame pairs; and a blending processing unit that creates the transition moving image by configuring an image of each frame that configures the repositioned frame pairs as an image of a frame of the transition moving image through blending thereof.
