Abstract
An image processing apparatus compares a target image and a reference image and thereby detects an anomaly in the target image, and includes an anomaly detecting unit. The anomaly detecting unit is configured to (a) generate a first characteristic map obtained by performing a filter process for the target image and a second characteristic map obtained by performing the filter process for the reference image, (b) derive a correction amount on the basis of a deviation between an object in the first characteristic map and an object in the second characteristic map, and (c) correct the target image and/or the reference image with the correction amount and thereafter compare the target image and the reference image and thereby detect an anomaly in the target image.
