Abstract
An image processing device and method, where the device includes a data continuity detector configured to detect data continuity of image data made up of a plurality of pixels acquired by light signals of a real world being cast upon a plurality of detecting elements each having spatio-temporal integration effects, and a real world estimating unit configured to generate a gradient of pixel values of the plurality of pixels corresponding to a position in one dimensional direction of spatio-temporal directions as to pixels of interest within the image data.
Claims13
An image processing device comprising:
- a data continuity detector configured to detect data continuity of image data made up of a plurality of pixels acquired by light signals of a real world being cast upon a plurality of detecting elements each having spatio-temporal integration effects, of which a part of continuity of the light signals of the real world have been lost;
- and
- a real world estimating unit including a processor configured to generate a gradient of a function generated by using pixel values associated with a plurality of functions approximating pixel values based on the data continuity detected by said image data continuity detector, the plurality of functions being arranged along a direction of the data continuity.
