Abstract
An image processing apparatus applies, to an input image, image restoration processing for correcting bokeh caused by a characteristic of an imaging optical system used to capture the input image. The image processing apparatus may further add a predetermined effect to a high luminance portion satisfying a predetermined condition in the input image to which the image restoration processing has been applied. The image processing apparatus has capabilities both correcting bokeh caused by an aberration in an optical system while keeping bokeh as photographic expression.
Claims12
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors, when executing a program stored in a memory, function as:
- a restoration unit configured to apply, to an input image, image restoration processing for correcting bokeh caused by a characteristic of an imaging optical system used to capture the input image;
- and
- an application unit configured to add a predetermined effect to a high luminance portion satisfying a predetermined condition in the input image to which the image restoration processing has been applied.
An image capture apparatus comprising:
- an image sensor;
- and
- an image processing apparatus,
- wherein the image processing apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors, when executing a program stored in a memory, function as:
- a restoration unit configured to apply, to an input image captured by the image sensor, image restoration processing for correcting bokeh caused by a characteristic of an imaging optical system used to capture the input image;
- and
- an application unit configured to add a predetermined effect to a high luminance portion satisfying a predetermined condition in the input image to which the image restoration processing has been applied.
An image processing method executed by an image processing apparatus comprising:
- applying, to an input image, image restoration processing for correcting bokeh caused by a characteristic of an imaging optical system used to capture the input image;
- and
- adding a predetermined effect to a high luminance portion satisfying a predetermined condition in the input image to which the image restoration processing has been applied.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores a program for causing, when executed by one or more processor, the one or more processors to function as an image processing apparatus comprising:
- a restoration unit configured to apply, to an input image, image restoration processing for correcting bokeh caused by a characteristic of an imaging optical system used to capture the input image;
- and
- an application unit configured to add a predetermined effect to a high luminance portion satisfying a predetermined condition in the input image to which the image restoration processing has been applied.
