1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
circuitry configured to
generate a display image by superimposing a vehicle interior image on a captured image obtained by capturing an image on a rear side from a vehicle,
wherein the circuitry generates the display image on a basis of setting information regarding a reference visual field;
set the reference visual field;
arrange the captured image and the vehicle interior image in a three-dimensional space;
arrange the captured image at an arrangement position on a rear side from the vehicle;
obtain a virtual viewpoint position that changes in accordance with motion of a viewpoint of a driver; and
convert the captured image and the vehicle interior image into a projected coordinate system with a visual field determined by the virtual viewpoint position, to obtain the display image,
wherein the arrangement position is a position of a predetermined object existing on a rear side from the vehicle.
