Image processing apparatus, image processing method and medium for storing image processing program

An image processing method comprising:

• acquiring image of an area of an object by a camera moving with a moving vehicle;
• acquiring a moving amount of the camera from a predetermined position on a moving path of the moving vehicle to an image acquiring position at which the camera acquires the image of the area;
• acquiring a distance between the area of the object and the camera when the camera acquires the image of the area;
• performing, by a computer, first correction in which the image acquired by the camera is displaced in a moving direction of the moving vehicle in accordance with the moving amount;
• performing second correction in which a size of the image acquired by the camera is changed in accordance with the distance acquired in the acquiring a distance using a size of a predetermined image acquired by the camera and a distance corresponding to the predetermined image;
• and
• arranging a plurality of images corrected in the first correction and the second correction to generate an inspection image.
