Abstract
An image processing apparatus in which an erroneous discrimination about a convergence of a super resolution process can be eliminated and precision of the super resolution process can be improved is provided. The apparatus has: a distance measuring unit that measures a distance to an object; a deteriorated image reconstructing unit that reconstructs an image of the object by repetitive calculations; and an end discriminating unit that discriminates an end of an image reconstructing process. In the case of discriminating an end of the image reconstructing process, the end discrimination is made only to a specific distance layer based on information of the distance measured by the distance measuring unit or every distance layer based on the distance information.
