1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a rectification circuit configured to parallelize a first image and a second image based on parameter information for performing at least one of rotation and parallel movement on one or both of the first image and the second image;
a matching circuit configured to calculate and output y disparity by performing stereo matching processing on the first image and the second image outputted from the rectification circuit, the stereo matching processing being performed by calculating a degree of matching of each pixel in the first image while moving a window of a predetermined size in an X direction in the second image, and when the movement in the X direction is finished, changing from a line to a next line and moving the window in the X direction;
a displacement amount information creating circuit configured to create, by using the y disparity, displacement amount information of the images in a direction orthogonal to a search line for the first and second images subjected to the stereo matching processing; and
a rectification error determining circuit configured to determine whether or not there is an error of rectification which parallelizes the first and second images in the rectification circuit, based on the displacement amount information.

Abstract
According to an embodiment, an image processing apparatus includes a matching unit configured to perform stereo matching processing on two images obtained through imaging using two cameras, an error map creating unit configured to create an error map indicating a displacement amount of the two images in a direction orthogonal to a search line for the two images subjected to the stereo matching processing, and a parallelization parameter error determining unit configured to determine whether or not there is an error of rectification which parallelizes the two images, based on the error map.
