Abstract
The imaging device 1 includes an imaging unit 16 for taking an image, an image determination unit 54 for determining a position of a specific subject in the image, and a correction processing unit 55 for correcting the image such that, if the image determination unit 54 determines that the specific subject is positioned in an area other than the center of the image, the degree of correction of distortion due to lens aberration is stronger in the area other than the center of the image than in the center.
Claims8
-7. (canceled)
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- an acquisition unit for acquiring an image;
- a first determination unit for determining a position of a specific subject in the image acquired by the acquisition unit;
- and
- a correction unit for correcting the image such that, when the first determination unit determines that the specific subject is positioned in an area other than the center of the image, the degree of correction of distortion due to lens aberration is stronger in the area other than the center of the image than in the center.
The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:
- a second determination unit for determining a direction of an image capturing unit at a time of capturing the subject;
- wherein the correction unit corrects the image such that the degree of the correction is stronger in any area other than the center of the image than in the center when the second determination unit determines that the direction is vertical.
An imaging processing method using an image processing apparatus, comprising:
- an acquisition step of acquiring an image;
- a determination step of determining a position of a specific subject in the image acquired at the acquisition step;
- and
- a correction step of correcting the image such that, when it is determined at the determination step that the specific subject is positioned in an area other than the center of the image, the degree of correction of distortion due to lens aberration is stronger in the area other than the center of the image than in the center.
