Claim:
1. An image processing apparatus comprising: a color reproducing unit configured to reproduce a color phase, which is not set to each pixel of a pair of images composed of Bayer array, based upon the adjacent pixels; and a matching processing unit configured to extract blocks with a predetermined size from the pair of image data whose color phase is reproduced, and execute a matching process to specify blocks having high correlation, wherein the matching processing unit is configured to select one of first and second processes to execute the matching process on the entire pair of images at one time, depending on fineness of edges in the images, in the first process, the matching processing unit is configured to execute the matching process with only a color phase with the highest degree of occupation in the Bayer array, and in the second process, the matching processing unit is configured to execute the matching process with all color phases in the Bayer array.
