Abstract

There is provided an image processing apparatus. A generating unit generates a plurality of composite images by repeatedly carrying out a compositing process that composites a plurality of parallax images according to a compositing ratio. The parallax images have parallax with respect to each other. A control unit carries out control so that the compositing ratio changes over time as the compositing process is repeated. A positioning unit positions the plurality of composite images so that a rotational center of viewpoint movement arising between the plurality of composite images due to the change over time in the compositing ratio moves in a depth direction.
