Abstract
An image is processed appropriately even in a case that the image includes multiple correction areas. In a case of performing the correction processing for each of a first correction area and a second correction area, a controller (40) determines whether to perform suppression processing of suppressing the correction processing for at least one of the first correction area or the second correction area depending on a distance between the inner area of the first correction area and the inner area of the second correction area.
Claims12
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a correction processing unit configured to perform correction processing on a first correction area and a second correction area in an image, wherein
- each of the first correction area and the second correction area includes an inner area and an outer area outside the inner area, and in the correction processing, the inner area is reduced and the outer area is enlarged, or the inner area is enlarged and the outer area is reduced,
- in a case of performing the correction processing for each of the first correction area and the second correction area, the correction processing unit can perform suppression processing of suppressing the correction processing for at least one of the first correction area or the second correction area, and
- in the suppression processing, the correction processing unit makes the degree of suppression of the correction processing for each of the first correction area and the second correction area higher in a case that the first correction area and the second correction area are arranged in juxtaposition in a lateral direction than in a case that the first correction area and the second correction area are arranged in tandem in a vertical direction.

A method for controlling an image processing apparatus, the method comprising the step of performing correction processing on a first correction area and a second correction area in an image, wherein
- each of the first correction area and the second correction area includes an inner area and an outer area outside the inner area, in the correction processing, the inner area is reduced and the outer area is enlarged, or the inner area is enlarged and the outer area is reduced,
- in the step of correction processing, in a case that the correction processing is performed on each of the first correction area and the second correction area, suppression processing of suppressing the correction processing for at least one of the first correction area or the second correction area can be performed, and
- in the step of correction processing, in the suppression processing, the degree of suppression of the correction processing for each of the first correction area and the second correction area is made higher in a case that the first correction area and the second correction area are arranged in juxtaposition in a lateral direction than in a case that the first correction area and the second correction area are arranged in tandem in a vertical direction.
A non-transitory recording medium containing an image processing program causing a computer to operate as a correction processing unit performing correction processing on a first correction area and a second correction area in an image, wherein
- each of the first correction area and the second correction area includes an inner area and an outer area outside the inner area, and in the correction processing, the inner area is reduced and the outer area is enlarged, or the inner area is enlarged and the outer area is reduced,
- in a case of performing the correction processing for each of the first correction area and the second correction area, the correction processing unit can perform suppression processing of suppressing the correction processing for at least one of the first correction area or the second correction area, and
- in the suppression processing, the correction processing unit makes the degree of suppression of the correction processing for each of the first correction area and the second correction area higher in a case that the first correction area and the second correction area are arranged in juxtaposition in a lateral direction than in a case that the first correction area and the second correction area are arranged in tandem in a vertical direction.
