Image processing apparatus, method and program

An image processing apparatus includes a first field-of-view converting unit configured to convert an image of a first camera, which is equipped in a vehicle and arranged to include a portion of a vehicle body in an image capturing range, into an image having an arbitrary field-of-view within a field-of-view of the first camera; a second field-of-view converting unit configured to convert a blind spot image, which is an image of a second camera capturing an image of a peripheral environment acting as a blind spot by the first camera, into the blind spot image having the same field-of-view as the field-of-view of the image obtained after the conversion by the first converting unit; and a compositing unit configured to compose a region corresponding to the blind spot image obtained by the second converting unit to the region of the vehicle body of the image obtained by the first converting unit.
