Abstract
An image processing apparatus that morphs at least part of an input image has an image acquiring unit that acquires an input image, an object specifying unit that specifies an object that is included in the input image and is to be morphed, a map storage unit in which a shift amount map, which is a map in which shift amounts of pixels in a two-dimensional plane are defined, is stored, a map morphing unit that morphs the shift amount map according to a shape of the object to be morphed, and an image morphing unit that morphs the image by determining a shift amount of a pixel that corresponds to the object based on the morphed shift amount map and shifting the pixel.
