Abstract
An image processing apparatus and an image processing method where the apparatus includes: a seam line acquisitor configured to acquire a seam line of a first image in images to be stitched; a segmenter configured to segment, in an extension direction of the seam line of the first image, a center region including the seam line in the first image into blocks, where an intersection point of a block boundary with the seam line of the first image is located in a strong gradient region; a matcher configured to perform keypoint matching based on the intersection point to find a coordinate point corresponding to the intersection point in a position region corresponding to the seam line in a second image in the images to be stitched; and a fuser configured to fuse the first image with the second image based on the intersection point and the coordinate point.
