Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and recording medium

An image processing method comprising:

• acquiring a plurality of continuous images;
• extracting a difference between two images among the plurality of continuous images;
• performing image processing to acquire a third image by removing a difference between portions smaller than a predetermined size from the difference extracted in the extracting, and the predetermined size is determined based on imaging information obtained when the plurality of continuous images is acquired, wherein the imaging information includes information on a focal length of an imaging lens or a pixel pitch of an imaging element, the acquired images being display on a display unit;
• and
• first combining the two images by using the third image acquired in the image processing.
