1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
an output unit that outputs to a movable object information indicating an action to be performed by the movable object; and
a processor that
determines a first action of the movable object based on a state of a human target, the state being sensed in captured imagery of a region around the movable object;
causes the output unit to output information indicating the first action, and by outputting the information, the output unit causes the movable object to perform the first action indicated by the information;
determines a second action of the movable object based on a second state of the human target, the second state being sensed in imagery of the region around the movable object that is captured after the first action of the movable object; and
causes the output unit to output information indicating the second action at a time depending on a speed of a human gesture that the human target makes before the first action is determined or after the first action of the movable object, and by outputting the information, the output unit causes the movable object to perform the second action indicated by the information.
