Abstract
An image processing apparatus is an image processing apparatus which derives an angle of inclination of an image and includes: an edge angle calculation unit which calculates a plurality of edge angles corresponding to a plurality of pixels in the image by calculating, in each of the pixels, an edge angle that is an angle of an edge; a use angle identification unit which identifies one or more use angles that are each the edge angle and are each a candidate for the angle of inclination, using the edge angles and a plurality of depth values that correspond to the pixels and each indicate a depth of a corresponding one of the pixels; and an inclination angle derivation unit which derives the angle of inclination from the one or more use angles.
