Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes a first reception section, a second reception section, an association processing section, an object detection section, and a process execution section. The first reception section receives image information acquired by an image sensor. The second reception section receives sound information that is acquired by one or plural directional microphones and that is generated for at least a partial region in a field of the image sensor. The association processing section associates the sound information with a pixel address of the image information indicating a position in the field. The object detection section detects, from the image information, at least a part of an object that is present in the field. The process execution section executes a predetermined process on the object on the basis of a result of the association performed by the association processing section.
