Image processing apparatus and method

A non-transitory medium storing a set of instructions, the set of instructions capable of being executed by a processor of an image processing apparatus to perform an image processing method, the method comprising:

• receiving a plurality of consecutive images of an object captured by an image capturing unit of the image processing apparatus, wherein pixels having the same coordinates in each of the consecutive images represent the same part of the object and are regarded as a pixel match;
• reading all red (R), green (G), and blue (B) values of each pixel match from the consecutive images;
• analyzing all R, G, and B values of each pixel match to determine a common R value range, a common G value range, and a common B value range of the pixel match, and filtering R values, G values, and B values of the pixel match that respectively fall outside the common R value range, the common G value range, and the common B value range of the pixel match;
• calculating an average R value, an average G value, and an average B value for each pixel match according to remaining R values, remaining G values, and remaining B values of the pixel match;
• and
• creating a new image by taking the average R value, the average G value, and the average B value of each pixel match as color values of a corresponding pixel in the new image.

An image processing apparatus, comprising:

• a storage device;
• a processor;
• and
• one or more programs stored in the storage device and being executable by the processor, the one or more programs comprising instructions:
• to receive a plurality of consecutive images of an object captured by an image capturing unit of the image processing apparatus, wherein pixels having the same coordinates in each of the consecutive images represent the same part of the object and are regarded as a pixel match;
• to read all red (R), green (G), blue (B) values of each pixel match from the consecutive images;
• to determine a common R value range, a common G value range, and a common B value range of each pixel match by analyzing all R, G, B values of the pixel match, and to filter R values, G values, and B values of the pixel match that respectively fall outside the common R value range, the common G value range, and the common B value range of the pixel match;
• to calculate an average R value, an average G value, and an average B value for each pixel match according to remaining R values, remaining G values, and remaining B values of the pixel match;
• and
• to create a new image by taking the average R value, the average G value, and the average B value of each pixel match as color values of a corresponding pixel in the new image.
