Abstract

An image processing apparatus may include: a first registration device for performing, by taking a first input image of two overlapped input images having an overlapped area as a reference image, a first registration on a second input image to find, in the second input image, a second pixel which is matched with each first pixel located in the overlapped area of the reference image; an output pixel location determination device for calculating a location of an output pixel which is located in the overlapped area of the output image and corresponds to the first pixel, the locations of the first and second pixels being respectively weighted, and the shorter the distance from the first pixel to a non-overlapped area of the reference image is, the greater a weight of the location of the first pixel is; and an output pixel value determination device for calculating a pixel value.
