Abstract
An image processing apparatus obtains light field data, and selects a subject. The apparatus outputs restriction information which is information for not focusing on the selected subject, and is information for restricting reconstruction of the light field data.
Claims29
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a data obtaining unit configured to obtain light field data;
- a selection unit configured to select a subject;
- and
- an output unit configured to output restriction information which is information for not focusing on the subject selected by said selection unit, and is information for restricting reconstruction of the light field data.
1 more element
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a signal obtaining unit configured to obtain light field data;
- an information obtaining unit configured to obtain restriction information for not focusing on a specific subject for a reconstruction image generable from the light field data;
- a setting unit configured to set a generation condition of a reconstruction image to be generated from the light field data;
- and
- a decision unit configured to decide, based on the generation condition set by said setting unit and the restriction information, a generation condition of a reconstruction image to be finally generated.
2 more elements
An image processing method comprising:
- a signal obtaining step of obtaining light field data;
- a selection step of selecting a subject;
- and
- an output step of outputting output restriction information for outputting restriction information which is information for not focusing on the subject selected in the selection step, and is information for restricting reconstruction of the light field data.
1 more element
An image processing method comprising:
- a signal obtaining step of obtaining light field data capable of generating reconstruction images focused on a plurality of subject distances;
- an information obtaining step of obtaining restriction information for not focusing on a subject for a reconstruction image generable from the light field data;
- a setting step of setting a generation condition of a reconstruction image to be generated from the light field data;
- and
- a decision step of deciding, based on the generation condition set in the setting step and the restriction information, a generation condition of a reconstruction image to be finally generated.
2 more elements
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a data obtaining unit configured to obtain light field data;
- a selection unit configured to select a subject;
- and
- an output unit configured to output restriction information which is information for making visibility of the subject selected by said selection unit, lower regardless of a generation condition in reconstructing, and is information about a reconstruction image generated by reconstructing the light field data.
