  • Publication number: 20200296280
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus which superimposes an indicator image on a picked-up image, with inhibition of a subject from deteriorating in visibility. At least one processor of the image processing apparatus executes the set of instructions to: specify two points of a subject in a picked-up image; acquire three-dimensional positional information about the two points; detect a change about a state of the image processing apparatus; generate an indicator image corresponding to a length between the two points and the change, based on the three-dimensional positional information and the change; and superimpose the indicator image onto the picked-up image, to acquire a retouched image.
