Provided is an image processing apparatus that detects a predetermined image region of an object from a photographed image; generates a correction parameter; and corrects a high-luminance region by using a correction parameter, in which, in a case where the high-luminance region is in an image region having a predetermined image region of a plurality of objects overlapping with each other therein, to which object having the predetermined image region the high-luminance region belongs is judged, and, on the basis of information of the predetermined image region the high-luminance region belongs to, the correction parameter with which the high-luminance region in the overlapping image region is corrected is generated.
