Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes an image processing unit configured to generate a second image obtained by performing predetermined image processing on a first image representing an input image, a determination unit configured to determine a luminance correction range on the basis of image information in one of a high luminance range and a low luminance range determined in accordance with the image processing, and a luminance correction unit configured to correct a luminance value in the luminance correction range determined by the determination unit for the second image.
Claims7
A luminance correction apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
