Abstract

An image processing apparatus determines whether a feature amount in a partial region of an image satisfies a preset condition, selects a second image to be combined with a first image from a plurality of images based on the result of the determination, and performs a composition process on the aligned first image and second image based on a motion vector between these images. From the plurality of images, the image processing apparatus selects as the second image at least any one of an image having a partial region with the feature amount determined to satisfy the preset condition and an image corresponding to a partial region out of a plurality of partial regions set in the first image with the feature amount determined to satisfy the preset condition.
