Abstract

Provided is an image processing apparatus and a method to improve the robustness of posture estimation during viewing of contents with respect to a projected image. Similarity between a captured image obtained by imaging a projected image by an imaging unit, the projected image having been projected by a projection unit, and a simulation image simulating a captured image supposed to be obtained by imaging a projected image by the imaging unit, the projected image having been projected by the projection unit, is evaluated, and a posture of the projection unit or the imaging unit or postures of both of the projection unit and the imaging unit on the basis of an evaluation result of the similarity are set.
