Abstract
An image processing system, an image generation apparatus, and an image generation method are provided. The image processing system includes a switching unit configured to switch an operating mode of the image processing system between at least a first mode and a second mode, a detection unit configured to detect a joining position among a plurality of input images to generate a detection result, and a joining unit configured to join the plurality of input images to generate an output image. When the mode is switched to the first mode, the joining unit joins the plurality of input images based on the detection result of the detection unit to generate the output image. When the mode is switched to the second mode, the joining unit joins the plurality of input images to generate the output image, without causing the detection unit to generate the detection result.
