Abstract
Disclosed herein is an image processing apparatus including: a captured image acquisition unit configured to acquire data of a captured image; a correction unit configured to refer to a displacement vector map, which is stored in a storage unit and represents, on an image plane, displacement vectors each representative of a displacement amount and a displacement direction of a pixel used when the captured image is to be corrected to a display image or calculate the displacement vectors to correct the captured image; and an image display controlling unit configured to cause the corrected image to be displayed on a display panel.

An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a captured image acquisition unit configured to acquire data of a captured image;
- a correction unit configured to refer to a displacement vector map, which is stored in a storage unit and represents, on an image plane, displacement vectors each representative of a displacement amount and a displacement direction of a pixel used when the captured image is to be corrected to a display image or calculate the displacement vectors to correct the captured image;
- and
- an image display controlling unit configured to cause the corrected image to be displayed on a display panel;
- wherein the correction unit corrects the captured image on a basis of the displacement vectors that are different for respective primary colors represented by the display panel.
