Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes a still/motion determining unit and a motion blur adder. The still/motion determining unit makes a still/motion determination for each region of respective unit images constituting motion image data. The motion blur adder then adds motion blur to the motion image data on the basis of the still/motion determination and imaging information expressing parameters whereby the motion image data was generated as a result of imaging by an imaging apparatus.
Claims14
An image processing apparatus, comprising:
- image acquiring means for acquiring image data expressing motion images, the image data including a plurality of frames;
- motion determining means for (1) determining whether each region within an image frame of the plurality of frames is a motion region or a still region;
- and (2) generating a score value for each region based on the determination and imaging information, the score value being a value expressing the degree of jerkiness for a moving object and the imaging information being a parameter by which the imaging data was imaged by an imaging apparatus;
- and
- motion blur adding means for adding motion blur to the image data based on the score value.
