Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus comprising: an imaging device; a reference luminance property storage device that stores a predetermined reference luminance property; a luminance property calculating device that calculates a luminance property of the imaging device from an image obtained by the imaging device; a comparing device that compares the reference luminance property stored in the reference luminance property storage device and the luminance property calculated by the luminance property calculating device; a displacement determining device that determines whether or not the luminance property of the imaging device has relative displacement with respect to the reference luminance property based on a comparison result of the comparing device; and a luminance property correcting device that makes a correction of the luminance property of the imaging device, the luminance property correcting device is configured to correct the luminance property of the imaging device so as to become equivalent to the reference luminance property when the luminance property of the imaging device determined by the displacement determining device has relative displacement with respect to the reference luminance property.
