Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes an image obtaining unit configured to perform an image obtaining operation to obtain a plurality of frames of image data having continuity in time, a storage unit configured to temporarily store each of the plurality of frames of image data obtained by the image obtaining unit during the image obtaining operation, and an arithmetic operation control unit configured to perform an image combination process using the plurality of frames of image data sequentially stored in the storage unit during the image obtaining operation to generate combined-image data, the combined-image data being used as data used for display.
Claims19
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- an image obtaining unit configured to perform an image obtaining operation to obtain a plurality of frames of image data having continuity in time;
- a storage unit configured to temporarily store each of the plurality of frames of image data obtained by the image obtaining unit during the image obtaining operation;
- and
- an arithmetic operation control unit configured to perform an image combination process using the plurality of frames of image data sequentially stored in the storage unit during the image obtaining operation to generate combined-image data, the combined-image data being used as data used for display.
An image processing method comprising the steps of:
- obtaining a plurality of frames of image data having continuity in time;
- temporarily storing each of the plurality of obtained frames of image data;
- performing an image combination process using the plurality of sequentially stored frames of image data to generate combined-image data;
- and
- outputting the combined-image data as data used for display.
A program for causing a computer to execute an image processing method, the image processing method comprising the steps of:
- obtaining a plurality of frames of image data having continuity in time;
- temporarily storing each of the plurality of obtained frames of image data;
- performing an image combination process using the plurality of sequentially stored frames of image data to generate combined-image data;
- and
- outputting the combined-image data as data used for display.
