Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus, comprising: an operation display unit configured to display an image on a display screen and capable of receiving an operation input on the image displayed on the display screen; an operation input detection unit configured to detect the operation input received by the operation display unit, wherein the operation input is formed by continuous movement of a respective object from a position corresponding to a first location on the display screen to another position corresponding to a further location on the display screen such that a distance from the first location on the display screen to the further location on the display screen exceeds a predetermined, non-zero fixed value; an approximated line derivation unit configured to derive a first approximated line based on the detection result in the operation input detection unit, to set a region of the image by use of the first approximated line in which the region is defined by two first lines parallel to the first approximated line and two second lines orthogonal to the first approximated line, and to cut out the region of the image; and an image correction unit for correcting a tilt of the image displayed on the display screen based on the cut out region by rotating a portion of the image corresponding to the cut out region, in which the first approximated line and each of the two first lines of the region are parallel to a line associated with the tilt of the image and wherein the tilt of the image represents an angle of the image relative to either a horizontal reference line or a vertical reference line.
