Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes a camera, a support body, and an arm section including an arm that is rotatably attached to the support body and to a camera housing incorporating therein the camera. The image processing apparatus calculates a height of the camera measured from a set surface, using dimensional information of the image processing apparatus and inclination information indicating an inclination of the camera and an inclination of the arm. The image processing apparatus specifies a type of an object subjected for capturing by the camera using at least the height of the camera, and applies image processing specific to the specified type of the object to a captured image captured by the camera.
