Abstract
Provided is an information processing apparatus capable of further enhancing an effect of reducing blurring or noise in an image at the time of MFNR. An information processing apparatus including a control unit that selects a reference image from a plurality of images continuously captured by an image capturing apparatus, on the basis of information of the image capturing apparatus acquired by an inertial sensor when each of the images is captured, and superimposes remaining images on the reference image while performing alignment with the reference image, to combine the images into one image.
Claims20
An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- processing circuitry configured to
- acquire, based on information of an image capturing apparatus acquired by an inertial sensor in a case that each image of a plurality of images continuously captured by the image capturing apparatus, an index indicating a magnitude of blurring in each image of the plurality of images;
- select, as a reference image, an image from the plurality of images having a smallest amount of blurring indicated by the index;
- and
- superimpose, while performing alignment with the reference image, remaining images of the plurality of images on the reference image in an ascending order of blurring amount according to the index to combine the plurality of images into one image.
An information processing method, comprising:
- acquiring, by processing circuitry of an information processing apparatus based on information of an image capturing apparatus acquired by an inertial sensor in a case that each image of a plurality of images continuously captured by the image capturing apparatus, an index indicating a magnitude of blurring in each image of the plurality of images;
- selecting, as a reference image, an image from the plurality of images having a smallest amount of blurring indicating by the index;
- and
- superimposing, while performing alignment with the reference image, remaining images of the plurality of images on the reference image in an ascending order of blurring amount according to the index to combine the plurality of images into one image.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer executable instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:
- acquire, based on information of an image capturing apparatus acquired by an inertial sensor in a case that each image of a plurality of images continuously captured by the image capturing apparatus, an index indicating a magnitude of blurring in each image of the plurality of images;
- select, as a reference image, an image from the plurality of images having a smallest amount of blurring indicated by the index;
- and
- superimpose, while performing alignment with the reference image, remaining images of the plurality of images on the reference image in an ascending order of blurring amount according to the index to combine the plurality of images into one image.
