Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes a plurality of correlation processing units configured to perform correlation relating to search evaluation in parallel, a plurality of search frame processing units configured to clip from an input image a partial image to be input to the plurality of correlation processing units according to a designated processing frame, and a search frame determination unit configured to determine the arrangement of the processing frame in a vertical direction based on the number of correlation processing units and the size of the processing frame in the vertical direction. The arrangement of the processing frame in the vertical direction is determined such that the product of an interval between the processing frames in the vertical direction and the number of correlation processing units is equal to or larger than the size of the processing frame in the vertical direction.
