Abstract
There is provided with an image processing apparatus. An acquisition unit acquires a first image captured with visible light and a second image captured with non-visible light. A correction unit corrects luminance of the second image so as to bring luminance distribution of the second image close to luminance distribution of the first image. A generation unit combines the second image whose luminance is corrected by the correction unit and chromaticity information of the first image to generate a composite image.
Claims21
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the at least one processor, the memory having instructions that, when executed by the processor, performs operations as:
- an acquisition unit configured to acquire a first image captured with visible light and a second image captured with non-visible light;
- a correction unit configured to correct luminance of the second image so as to bring luminance distribution of the second image close to luminance distribution of the first image;
- and
- a generation unit configured to combine the second image whose luminance is corrected by the correction unit and chromaticity information of the first image to generate a composite image by combining processing,
- wherein the combining processing is performed without application of luminance correction by the correction unit when a contrast of the second image is higher than a contrast of the first image.
A method for controlling an apparatus, the method comprising:
- acquiring a first image captured with visible light and a second image captured with non-visible light;
- correcting luminance of the second image so as to bring luminance distribution of the second image close to luminance distribution of the first image;
- and
- combining the second image whose luminance is corrected and chromaticity information of the first image to generate a composite image by combining processing,
- wherein the combining processing is performed without application of luminance correction by the correction unit when a contrast of the second image is higher than a contrast of the first image.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a method of an apparatus comprising:
- acquiring a first image captured with visible light and a second image captured with non-visible light;
- correcting luminance of the second image so as to bring luminance distribution of the second image close to luminance distribution of the first image;
- and
- combining the second image whose luminance is corrected and chromaticity information of the first image to generate a composite image by combining processing,
- wherein the combining processing is performed without application of luminance correction by the correction unit when a contrast of the second image is higher than a contrast of the first image.
