Abstract
An image processing method, an image processing apparatus and an image capturing apparatus are provided, which are capable of obtaining an output image exhibiting high visual recognizability while reducing the processing time with a circuit on a comparatively small scale. Datum plane system coordinates xyzwith a datum plane DP serving as a basis and having a fixed positional relationship with a virtual projection plane VP are set, and there is provided a two-dimensional LUT stored with zcoordinates in a direction perpendicular to the datum plane with respect to x- and y-coordinates on the datum plane DP and based on a shape of the virtual projection plane VP, and image data is calculated, by calculating the coordinates of the pixels on the virtual projection plane VP in the world coordinate system on the basis of the two-dimensional LUT and converting the calculated coordinates of the pixels on the virtual projection plane in the world coordinate system into a camera coordinate system by using a distortion correction coefficient of an optical system.
