    摘要: An image processing apparatus includes a histogram calculating section, a tone curve determining section and a tone curve applying section that perform different tone corrections on pixels at different positions in a color image and a false contour detecting section that calculates the degree of false contour occurrence for the color image based on the difference in signal saturation level between color signals. Based on the result of the calculation by the false contour detecting section, the tone curve determining section controls the tone correction characteristics to make a false contour less prominent.

    摘要: An image signal processor includes an area extracting unit for extracting from an image signal color signals of a local area of a predetermined size which includes a desired pixel. A maximum variance signal selecting unit selects one of the color signals which exhibits a maximum variance over the average variance of the color signals in the local area. In a signal modifying unit, the shape of the other color signals than the selected color signal is modified so that their parameters are equal to the parameters of the selected color signal. In a candidate image generating unit, the other modified color signals and the selected color signal are combined together to generate a plurality of reference image candidates. A reference image selecting unit than selects as a reference image one of the reference image candidates on the basis of a given evaluation function. In a restoring unit, dropout color signals are then restored with the use of the reference image determined by the reference image selecting unit.

    摘要: In a high precision image processor and image processing program, an output of a one-chip Bayer array CCD is A/D converted and noise reduced, and then entered in a G interpolation circuit which comprises interpolation circuit B which implements interpolation processing of a less resolving power but does not reflect on the result of interpolation an apparent sensitivity difference occurring at a pixel value of a G pixel of the one-chip CCD, and interpolation circuit A which implements interpolation processing of an improved resolving power but reflects an apparent sensitivity difference on the result of interpolation. G interpolation circuit estimates a sensitivity difference at a pixel of interest and combines outputs of interpolation circuits A and B such that for a large sensitivity difference, the output of circuit B is used more, and for a small sensitivity difference, the output of circuit A is used more.
