Abstract
An image processing apparatus obtains a first image shot at a first focal length, extracts a main subject region and a first background region from the first image, and creates a second image including a second background region in a case where shooting is performed at a second focal length different from the first focal length based on the first background region and distance information obtained from the first background region.
Claims13
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- an obtaining unit that obtains a first image shot at a first focal length;
- an extraction unit that extracts a main subject region and a first background region from the first image;
- and
- a creating unit that creates a second image including a second background region in a case where shooting is performed at a second focal length different from the first focal length based on the first background region and distance information obtained from the first background region.
An image processing method executed by an image processing apparatus comprising:
- obtaining a first image shot at a first focal length;
- extracting a main subject region and a first background region from the first image;
- and
- creating a second image including a second background region in a case where shooting is performed at a second focal length different from the first focal length based on the first background region and distance information obtained from the first background region.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to function as an image processing apparatus comprising:
- an obtaining unit that obtains a first image shot at a first focal length;
- an extraction unit that extracts a main subject region and a first background region from the first image;
- and
- a creating unit that creates a second image including a second background region in a case where shooting is performed at a second focal length different from the first focal length based on the first background region and distance information obtained from the first background region.
