Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes an acquiring unit, a specifying unit, a search unit and a difference extracting unit. The acquiring unit acquires a first image and a second image. The specifying unit specifies one or more image areas included in the first image. The search unit searches the second image for an image area corresponding to each of the one or more image areas specified by the specifying unit. The difference extracting unit extracts a difference between the corresponding image area obtained by the search unit and each of the one or more image areas specified by the specifying unit.
