Abstract
Provided is an image processing apparatus, including: a refocused-image generating unit configured to generate a refocused image having a focus position changed by using image data including information indicating a direction and an intensity of a light beam entered from an object; and a depth-of-field setting unit configured to set a depth of field of the refocused image to be used for reproduction of a moving image based on a type of reproduction mode for the moving image.
Claims17
An image processing apparatus, comprising:
- a refocused-image generating unit configured to generate a refocused image having a focus position changed by using image data including information indicating a direction and an intensity of a light beam entered from an object;
- and
- a depth-of-field setting unit configured to set a depth of field of the refocused image to be used for reproduction of a moving image based on a type of reproduction mode relating to the reproduction of the moving image.
An image processing method, comprising:
- generating a refocused image having a focus position changed by using image data including information indicating a direction and an intensity of a light beam entered from an object;
- and
- setting a depth of field of the refocused image to be used for reproduction of a moving image based on a type of reproduction mode for the moving image.
A computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon a program to be executed by a computer of an image processing apparatus configured to reproduce a moving image, for causing the computer to function as:
- a refocused-image generating unit configured to generate a refocused image having a focus position changed by using image data including information indicating a direction and an intensity of a light beam entered from an object;
- and
- a depth-of-field setting unit configured to set a depth of field of the refocused image to be used for reproduction of the moving image based on a type of reproduction mode for the moving image.
An image processing apparatus, comprising:
- an image data generating unit configured to generate image data based on a signal received from an image pickup element comprising a unit pixel including a plurality of pixels allocated to each of a plurality of microlenses;
- a frame image generating unit configured to generate a frame image for reproduction of a moving image based on data, within the image data, read from a predetermined read region of the unit pixel;
- and
- a changing unit configured to change the read region of the unit pixel for the frame image generating unit depending on a reproduction mode relating to the reproduction of the moving image.
An image processing method, comprising:
- generating image data based on a signal received from an image pickup element comprising a unit pixel including a plurality of pixels allocated to each of a plurality of microlenses;
- generating a frame image for reproduction of a moving image based on data, within the image data, read from a predetermined read region of the unit pixel;
- and
- changing the read region of the unit pixel for the frame image generating unit depending on a reproduction mode relating to the reproduction of the moving image.
