Abstract

An image processing apparatus comprises: first and second image capturing units with wide angle lenses which capture at least partly overlapping images; a vehicle speed detecting unit that detects the speed of a local vehicle; and a distance measuring unit that calculates the distance from the local vehicle to an object on the basis of a plurality of images captured by the first and second image capturing units. The higher the speed detected by the vehicle speed detecting unit is, the smaller the distance measuring unit makes the size of the pixel areas of the images output from the first and second image capturing units.
