An image processing apparatus includes an extraction section that extracts a first high brightness region from a source image where brightness is a first threshold value or greater, a mask generation section that performs blur processing and binarization processing on the first high brightness region and generates a mask containing the first high brightness region, a mask application section that based on the mask performs elimination processing, thinning processing, or both on the first high brightness region, a bright line generation section that generates a bright line based on a second high brightness region contained in output of the mask application section, and a synthesizing section that synthesizes the bright line onto the source image.
