An image processing apparatus processes noise from a defective pixel in image data generated by an image sensor including plural pixels, and plural read-out circuits that read out the signal. The apparatus includes an acquisition unit that obtains the image data and position information of the defective pixel; a defective pixel correction unit that corrects the signal from the defective pixel included in the image data, based on the position information; a low saturation pixel correction unit that corrects a signal from a low saturation pixel included in the image data where the signal from the defective pixel has been corrected, the low saturation pixel having a saturation level lower than the other pixels, based on a preliminarily calculated saturation level of the plural pixels; and a saturation level calculation unit that calculates the saturation level of the defective pixel corrected by the defective pixel correction unit.
An image processing apparatus that processes noise resulting from a defective pixel, included in image data generated by an image sensor including a plurality of pixels two-dimensionally arranged to receive light from outside and generate a signal according to an amount of received light and including a plurality of read-out circuits that read out the signal as a pixel value, the image processing apparatus comprising:
An image processing method executed by an image processing apparatus that processes noise resulting from a defective pixel, included in image data generated by an image sensor including a plurality of pixels two-dimensionally arranged to receive light from outside and generate a signal according to the amount of received light and including a plurality of read-out circuits that reads out the signal as a pixel value, the image processing method comprising:
A non-transitory computer readable recording medium storing a program that causes an image processing apparatus that processes noise resulting from a defective pixel, included in image data generated by an image sensor including a plurality of pixels two-dimensionally arranged to receive light from outside and generate a signal according to the amount of received light and including a plurality of read-out circuits that reads out the signal as a pixel value, to execute processing, the processing comprising:
