Claim One:
1. An image processing apparatus comprising: an image input section which inputs two adjacent images, wherein the images partially overlap with each other; an overlap region determining section which determines an overlap region of the images; a first region determining section which determines a first region within the overlap region determined; a first pixel value determining section which determines a pixel value in the first region based on a pixel value of one of the two adjacent images; a second pixel value determining section which determines a pixel value in a second region within the overlap region based on respective pixel values of the two adjacent images, wherein the second region is a region of the overlap region other than the first region; and an image joining section which join the two adjacent images with each other by utilizing the determined pixel value in the first region and the determined pixel value in the second region as pixel values in respective regions of the overlap region.
