Abstract:
A fusion decision processing section, based on a feature amount calculated by using a monochrome imaged image acquired by imaging a subject with an imaging section, and a color imaged image acquired by imaging the subject from a different point-of-view position with another imaging section, performs fusion decision as to whether or not deterioration of image quality is caused in fusion processing for producing a fusion image obtained by fusion of the monochrome imaged image and the color imaged image with the monochrome imaged image as a reference in a fusion processing section. Moreover, the fusion image data produced in the fusion processing section is selected in a case where deterioration of image quality is not caused in the fusion processing, and demosaic data produced in a demosaic processing section is selected in a case where the deterioration of the image quality is caused in the fusion processing.
Abstract:
There is provided an imaging apparatus and an imaging method, and an image processing apparatus and an image processing method each capable of capturing a high resolution image by effectively using respective pixel signals of a plurality of pixels defined by pupil division immediately below a microlens. A disparity is detected in units of pupil on the basis of respective pixel values of a plurality of divided pixels defined by pupil division. The pixel values of the plurality of divided pixels are added in units of pupil to obtain an added pixel value. The pixel value of the divided pixel and the added pixel value are blended in units of divided pixel in accordance with the disparity. The present disclosure is applicable to an imaging apparatus.
Abstract:
An image processing apparatus is provided to alleviate degradation of the gradation of a color image in the case where images having a sensitivity different from each other are obtained by imaging one same object in black-and-white and color. The image processing apparatus includes a gradation control part obtaining a brightness signal representing a black-and-white image and a chroma signal representing a color image obtained by imaging a same object as that for the black-and-white image and that controls gradation of the chroma signal on the basis of the brightness signal. This configuration can suppress degradation of the gradation of a color image to be minimal in the case where images having a sensitivity different from each other are obtained by imaging one same object in black-and-white and color.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method that perform a false color correction according to image characteristics of a color image in units of image regions are provided. Included therein is an image processor that receives inputs of a color image and a white (W) image photographed by a W array imaging element whose all pixels are placed in a white (W) pixel array and executes an image process that reduces false colors included in the color image. Together with a frequency-corresponding parameter calculation unit that receives an input of the white (W) image and calculates a frequency-corresponding parameter in units of image regions, and a positional deviation-corresponding parameter calculation unit that receives inputs of the white (W) image and the color image and calculates a positional deviation-corresponding parameter of the two input images in units of image regions, the image processor executes a blending process and calculates a corrected pixel value.
Abstract:
A fusion processing unit performs warping with a high quality image as a reference by using a wide angle image that is generated by an imaging unit and has a wider angle of view than the high quality image generated by the imaging unit in a case where a predetermined condition is satisfied, and generates a fusion image by matching positions of image overlapping regions with each other of the high quality image having a higher image quality than the wide angle image and the wide angle image after the warping. A captured image can be generated having a wide angle of view and high image quality without degrading image quality using a plurality of captured images respectively having different angles of view and resolutions.
Abstract:
There is provided an image processing device including a characteristic estimation portion that, from one of image information obtained from an image sensor and information attached to the image information, estimates a characteristic of the image sensor that is used to generate the image information, and a processing portion that processes the image information in accordance with the characteristic of the image sensor estimated by the characteristic estimation portion.
