Abstract
An image processing apparatus that generates, from an image data obtained through shooting, image data for display that depends on a display mode being set is disclosed. The image processing apparatus applies, in generation of the image data for display, a tone characteristic that depends on the display mode being set, to the image data. The image processing apparatus controls strength of noise reduction processing and/or sharpness processing depending on a combination of a tone characteristic applied to the image data and a display mode being set.
Claims13
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors that, when executing a program stored in a memory, function as:
- an acquisition unit configured to acquire image data obtained through shooting;
- and
- a generation unit configured to generate, from the image data, image data for display that depends on a display mode being set,
- wherein the generation unit
- in generation of the image data for display, applies a tone characteristic that depends on the display mode being set, to the image data, and
- in a case where a tone characteristic to be applied to the image data while a first display mode is set is a tone characteristic that darkens an image compared to a tone characteristic to be applied to the image data while a second display mode is set,
- weakens noise reduction processing to be applied to the image data compared to noise reduction processing to be applied to the image data while the second display mode is set, and/or
- strengthens sharpness processing to be applied to the image data compared to sharpness processing to be applied to the image data while the second display mode is set.
6 more elements
An image capturing apparatus comprising:
- an image sensor;
- and
- an image processing apparatus configured to process image data obtained through shooting that uses the image sensor,
- wherein the image processing apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors that, when executing a program stored in a memory, function as:
- an acquisition unit configured to acquire image data obtained through shooting;
- and
- a generation unit configured to generate, from the image data, image data for display that depends on a display mode being set,
- wherein the generation unit
- in generation of the image data for display, applies a tone characteristic that depends on the display mode being set, to the image data, and
- in a case where a tone characteristic to be applied to the image data while a first display mode is set is a tone characteristic that darkens an image compared to a tone characteristic to be applied to the image data while a second display mode is set,
- weakens noise reduction processing to be applied to the image data compared to noise reduction processing to be applied to the image data while the second display mode is set, and/or
- strengthens sharpness processing to be applied to the image data compared to sharpness processing to be applied to the image data while the second display mode is set.
10 more elements
An image processing method for execution by an image processing apparatus, the method comprising:
- acquiring image data obtained through shooting;
- and
- generating, from the image data, image data for display that depends on a display mode,
- wherein, in the generating,
- in generation of the image data for display, noise reduction processing, sharpness processing and a tone characteristic that depends on the display mode are applied to the image data, and
- in a case where a tone characteristic to be applied to the image data in a first display mode is a tone characteristic that darkens an image compared to a tone characteristic to be applied to the image data in a second display mode,
- noise reduction processing to be applied to the image data is weakened compared to noise reduction processing to be applied to the image data while the second display mode is set, and/or
- sharpness processing to be applied to the image data is strengthened compared to sharpness processing to be applied to the image data while the second display mode is set.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program for causing a computer, when executing the program, to function as an image processing apparatus comprising:
- an acquisition unit configured to acquire image data obtained through shooting;
- and
- a generation unit configured to generate, from the image data, image data for display that depends on a display mode being set,
- wherein the generation unit
- in generation of the image data for display, applies a tone characteristic that depends on the display mode being set, to the image data, and
- in a case where a tone characteristic to be applied to the image data while a first display mode is set is a tone characteristic that darkens an image compared to a tone characteristic to be applied to the image data while a second display mode is set,
- weakens noise reduction processing to be applied to the image data compared to noise reduction processing to be applied to the image data while the second display mode is set, and/or
- strengthens sharpness processing to be applied to the image data compared to sharpness processing to be applied to the image data while the second display mode is set.
