Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes a sub-image generation unit, a luminance ratio map generation unit, and an electric heating wire pattern estimation unit. The sub-image generation unit generates sub-images by dividing a first image in a lateral direction. The first image is one of a left image and a right image that are captured by a stereo camera through a windshield provided with an electric heating wire. The luminance ratio map generation unit sequentially selects one of the sub-images and generates map data based on the selected sub-image and a second image. The map data indicates a ratio between luminance values. The second image is another of the left image and the right image. The electric heating wire pattern estimation unit performs an estimation of a wiring pattern of the electric heating wire based on the map data regarding each of the sub-images.
