Image processing apparatus, image capture apparatus provided with the same, and method for controlling image processing apparatus

Abstract

Disclosed in an image processing apparatus capable of avoiding partial loss of an output image due to a lack of reference pixels, when generating an output image by applying geometric deformation to an image. The image processing apparatus determines whether a reference area required in a geometric deformation process fits within a captured area, and, in the case where the reference area required in the geometric deformation process does not fit within the captured area, sets an upper limit for a displacement amount of the reference area of the geometric deformation process so that the reference area fits, and applies the geometric deformation process, which uses a geometric deformation parameter generated based on the set upper limit, to the image.
