Abstract
According to an embodiment, an image processing apparatus includes an acquirer, first and second calculators, and a selector. The acquirer acquires a first image of an object captured in a first imaging direction and a second image of the object captured in a second imaging direction. The first calculator calculates, for each pixel included in the respective first and second images, likelihood of whether the pixel is included in a region of the object on the basis of feature information indicating image feature. The second calculator calculates, on the basis of the likelihood, a degree of similarity between a region of interest in the first image and a candidate region in the second image. The candidate region is a candidate of a corresponding region corresponding to the region of interest. The selector selects the candidate region serving as the corresponding region on the basis of the degree of similarity.
