Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes a reducer configured to reduce a number of pixels in a distance image having pixel values corresponding to a distance of a body positioned within a predetermined distance from a plurality of imagers installed in a mobile body, according to frames respectively captured by the plurality of imagers; a detector configured to detect the body based on the reduced distance image; and a rejecter configured to reject data of the detected body, based on a density of pixels having a value of the distance with respect to the detected body in an area overlapping a travel area in which the mobile body travels.
