Abstract
An image projection apparatus includes a detector that detects a first region emitting non-visible light; a projector that projects a visible-light image onto a second region including the first region detected by the detector; and a controller configured to generate the visible-light image. The controller varies colors of pixels of the visible-light image in a stepwise manner depending on emission intensities of the non-visible light at positions corresponding to the pixels within the first region.
