Abstract
In an image processing apparatus, a vehicle speed obtainer obtains vehicle speed information indicative of a speed of a vehicle. A deactivation controller determines whether the speed of the vehicle represented by the vehicle speed information is equal to or lower than a speed-related deactivation threshold previously determined for a target device. The target device is a selected one of first and second imaging devices. The selected one of the first and second imaging devices has one of first and second angular fields of view smaller than the other of the first and second angular fields of view. The deactivation controller deactivates a capture operation of the target device upon determination that the speed of the vehicle represented by the vehicle speed information is equal to or lower than the speed-related deactivation threshold previously determined for the target device.
