Claim One:
1. An image processing apparatus, comprising: a camera to capture an image of an object; a support body to set the image processing apparatus on a set surface; an arm section including an arm, the arm having one end rotatably attached to a top surface of the support body and the other end rotatably attached to a camera housing incorporating therein the camera; a first sensor provided in the camera housing and configured to detect an inclination of the camera to output camera inclination information indicating the inclination of the camera; a second sensor provided in the arm section and configured to detect an inclination of the arm to output arm inclination information indicating the inclination of the arm; and a processor to: calculate a height of the camera indicating a distance between a center of the camera and the set surface, using dimensional information of the image processing apparatus, the camera inclination information, and the arm inclination information; specify a type of the object subjected for capturing by the camera using the height of the camera, the camera inclination information, and the arm inclination information; and apply image processing specific to the specified type of the object performed captured image captured by the camera to generate processed image data.
