Abstract
An image processing apparatus that embeds additional information relating to an object that is displayed in a superimposing manner on a captured image, in an original image. The image processing apparatus includes a determining unit configured to determine whether a direction of the original image is a landscape or a portrait, and an embedment unit configured to embed the additional information in the original image. The additional information is information capable of at least specifying a type of the object and a display direction, of the object with respect to a display screen, in a case of displaying the object in a superimposing manner on the captured image. The embedment unit embeds the additional information based on the determination by the determining unit, such that the display direction changes in accordance with whether the direction of the original image is the landscape or the portrait.
