Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an image processing device and method, and an image processing system that can suppress an increase in load due to image stabilization. A readout area, which is an area from which an image is read out, in an imaging area formed by a plurality of pixels is set on the basis of motion prediction information for a predetermined frame after a frame to be processed, and a cutout area to cut out a partial image from a readout image read out from the set readout area of the frame to be processed is set. The present disclosure can be applied to, for example, an image processing device, an imaging device, or an image processing system, or the like.
Claims19
An image processing device, comprising:
- a central processing unit (CPU) configured to:
- estimate a cutout area in a determined frame based on motion prediction information for the determined frame, wherein the determined frame is subsequent to a current frame;
- set, for the current frame, a readout area in an imaging area based on the estimated cutout area, wherein
- the readout area includes the estimated cutout area, and
- by the imaging area includes a plurality of pixels;
- obtain a readout image based on the readout area of the current frame;
- and
- set the cutout area to cut out a partial image from the readout image.
An image processing method, comprising:
- estimating a cutout area in a determined frame based on motion prediction information for the determined frame, wherein the determined frame is subsequent to a current frame;
- setting, for the current frame, a readout area in an imaging area based on the estimated cutout area, wherein
- the readout area includes the estimated cutout area, and
- the imaging area includes a plurality of pixels;
- obtaining a readout image based on the readout area of the current frame;
- and
- setting the cutout area to cut out a partial image from the readout image.
An image processing system, comprising:
- an imaging device configured to image a subject;
- and
- an image processing device configured to execute an image processing operation, wherein the image processing device comprises a central processing unit (CPU) configured to:
- estimate a cutout area in a determined frame based on motion prediction information for the determined frame, wherein the determined frame is subsequent to a current frame;
- set, for the current frame, a readout area in an imaging area based on the estimated cutout area, wherein
- the readout area includes the estimated cutout area, and
- the imaging area includes a plurality of pixels;
- obtain a readout image based on the readout area of the current frame;
- and
- set the cutout area to cut out a partial image from the readout image.
