Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to an image processing apparatus, an image processing method, and a program that permit decision as to whether or not calibration of images is necessary. A decision section decides, using a current image captured by a camera and a past image captured by the camera, whether or not it is necessary to calibrate images captured by the camera. The present disclosure is applicable, for example, to a vehicle-mounted camera system that includes an automobile vehicle, two cameras, mounted to a front roof of the automobile vehicle such that imaging regions overlap, and an image processing apparatus, and so on.

Claim (Index 8):
The image processing apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising:\n a first movement parallax estimation section configured to estimate a movement parallax of the first image using the first and second images; a second movement parallax estimation section configured to estimate a movement parallax of the second image using a third image captured by a second imaging section at the first time and a fourth image captured by the second imaging section at the second time; and a stereo parallax estimation section configured to estimate a stereo parallax between the first and third images using the first and third images, wherein the decision section decides whether or not it is necessary to calibrate the first and second imaging sections on the basis of the movement parallax of the first image estimated by the first movement parallax estimation section, the movement parallax of the second image estimated by the second movement parallax estimation section, and the stereo parallax estimated by the stereo parallax estimation section.
