Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and program

An image processing method of processing an image comprising the steps of:

• acquiring a display format which displays an image on means for displaying an image;
• acquiring a shot image signal that is an image signal from means for shooting an object;
• and
• converting the shot image signal in a first signal format into an image signal in a second signal format that is a signal format associated with an acquired display format, based on correspondence information which associates a signal format for the image signal with a display format, wherein the image signal is a target for an image conversion process to convert an image signal into a high quality image signal of a higher quality image than an image corresponding to the image signal, and wherein the display format displays an image corresponding to a high quality image signal obtained in the image conversion process.

A program which allows a computer to run an image process for image processing comprising the steps of:

• acquiring a display format which displays an image on means for displaying an image;
• acquiring a shot image signal that is an image signal from means for shooting an object;
• and
• converting the shot image signal in a first signal format into an image signal in a second signal format that is a signal format associated with an acquired display format, based on correspondence information which associates a signal format for the image signal with a display format, wherein the image signal is a target for an image conversion process to convert an image signal into a high quality image signal of a higher quality image than an image corresponding to the image signal, and wherein the display format displays an image corresponding to a high quality image signal obtained in the image conversion process.

An image processing apparatus of processing an image comprising:

• means for deciding an image process to operable to decide an image process to be applied to a shot image signal that is an image signal from means for shooting an object;
• means for acquiring a signal format operable to acquire a signal format for the shot image signal;
• means for acquiring a display format operable to acquire a display format which displays an image on means for display, the image obtained by applying to the shot image signal an image process decided at the means for deciding an image process;
• and
• means for processing an image operable to apply an image process decided at the means for deciding an image process to the shot image signal by performing different processes in accordance with a signal format in the shot image signal, a display format which displays an image on the means for display, and an image process decided at the means for deciding an image process.
