1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
circuitry configured to
set, based on a density of people in a predetermined region within a captured image, an image display region for superimposition of an image on the captured image,
select, based on a result of analysis of the captured image, a candidate for the image to be superimposed on the image display region, and
superimpose, on the captured image, the candidate for the image on the image display region,
wherein the circuitry selects the candidate for the image from among a plurality of candidates determined by analysis of the captured image,
wherein the captured image corresponds to a specific event captured, and
wherein the circuitry selects the candidate for the image based on an advertisement image disposed in a venue of the specific event, the advertisement image being detected by analysis of the captured image.
