Abstract
There is provided an image processing apparatus including a motion detector that detects motion of an observation target from a hologram of the observation target, a hologram processing unit that extracts a portion of the hologram based on a result obtained by detecting the motion of the observation target, and a reconstruction unit that reconstructs an image from a portion of the extracted hologram.

An image processing apparatus, comprising:
- an image processing device configured to:
- receive a hologram of an observation target containing at least one biological specimen;
- detect a motion type of a first biological specimen, from the hologram of the observation target;
- extract a portion of the hologram based at least on the detected motion type of the first biological specimen;
