The invention discloses an image processing apparatus and an image processing method. According to one embodiment, an image processing apparatus includes a processed-image generating unit, a detection unit, and a calculation unit. The processed-image generating unit generates processed images by scaling the image picked up by the camera provided on a vehicle by respective ones of scale factors. The detection unit scans each processed image by a frame, determines likelihood using a dictionary of the detection object, and detects a scan frame having high likelihood. Each processed image is associated with respective image distance which is a predetermined estimated distance from the vehicle. The calculation unit determines an estimated distance from the vehicle to the detection object according to an image distance associated with a processed image to which the detected scan frame belongs, and calculates and outputs, based on a history of determined estimated distances and on the image distances, a time until the vehicle and the detection object collide.
