Abstract

The present technology relates to an image processing apparatus, an image processing method, an imaging apparatus, and a program that enable motion correction to be performed more appropriately. Provided are a synthesizing unit that synthesizes a plurality of images captured at different timings; and a motion correction unit that performs correction that reduces influence on the images relating to motion, in which the motion correction unit sets a criterion of a section for which motion amount information relating to a motion amount supplied at a predetermined interval is referred to, on the basis of a synthesis ratio when the plurality of images is synthesized, and refers to the motion amount information according to the set criterion to perform the correction. The plurality of images is a long-time exposure image captured during a long-time exposure period and a short-time exposure image captured during a short-time exposure period, and the synthesizing unit synthesizes the long-time exposure image and the short-time exposure image at the synthesis ratio to generate an image with a higher dynamic range. The present technology can be applied to an imaging apparatus.
