US 8,797,420 B2 · Non-real time image processing method, image capturing apparatus applying the same, and image processing system

Abstract

An image processing method, an image capturing apparatus applying the same, and an image processing system. The image processing method includes capturing an image, generating intermediate data by primarily processing the captured image, generating final processing data including instructions to initiate a final process to convert the intermediate data into final data, and transmitting the intermediate data and the final processing data to an external image processing apparatus to perform the final process. Accordingly, an image quality of the image is improved as compared to an image quality of a final image processed in real time by a conventional image capturing apparatus, and a variety of functions can be provided.

Dependent claims

An image processing method of an image capturing apparatus, comprising:

capturing an image;
generating intermediate image data by primarily processing the captured image;
displaying a graphic user interface (GUI) including an image quality selection menu to set an image quality level of a final image;
receiving a user input to set the image quality level of the final image;
generating final processing data including the set image quality level of the final image based on the received user input;
and
transmitting the intermediate image data and the final processing data to an external image processing apparatus to apply the final processing data to the intermediate image data to generate the final image.
