An image processing apparatus and method for generating a wide angle image from received images. Using an image signal of a received image, a scene change detection unit detects scene change of the received images. A movement detection unit detects a movement in each of the received images. A display position determination unit determines a display position of each of the received images based on the movement in each of the received images detected in a period of continuous scene. A wide field angle image generation unit superimposes the received images in said period of said continuous scene, a display position of which has been determined, to generate an image signal of the wide field angle image. A received image slide unit generates image signal wherein the received images are slid to the display positions. An image superimposition unit superimposes the received images whose display positions have been slid on the wide field angle image, to generate an image signal of a wide field angle display image in which the display position of each of the received images is slid in response to the movement in each of the received images.
