Image processing apparatus and image processing system

Abstract

Provided are an image processing apparatus and an image processing system capable of performing control in a state where redundancy is secured even when an imaging device itself has failed or is malfunctioning. The image processing apparatus 3 recognizes a recognition target based on image data obtained by imaging an outside world using a first imaging device 2a and a second imaging device 2b installed to be spaced apart from the first imaging device 2a in a vertical direction from an interior of a vehicle via a window glass 6, and includes: a first image processing unit 3a that recognizes a first recognition target based on image data of the first imaging device 2a; and a second image processing unit 3b that recognizes a second recognition target different from the first recognition target based on image data of the first imaging device 2a and the second imaging device 2b. When a predetermined condition is satisfied, the second image processing unit 3b recognizes the first recognition target.
