US 9,319,579 B2 · Image processing apparatus, control method, and program for the same with focus state specification and deletion confirmation of image data

Abstract

An image processing apparatus generates an image data in which a focus state of a captured image is specified by calculation processing. An operation inputting unit is used for operating focus information for specifying the focus state of an image, and an image generating unit generates an image data by acquiring focus information. When image focus information is changed by specification made by a user, the image generating unit outputs the image data generated by using focus information prior to specification to a confirmation screen generating unit upon deletion operation of the image data. The confirmation screen generation unit generates a display data of a deletion confirmation screen for prompting a user to confirm deletion upon deletion operation of an image file. The display data of a deletion confirmation screen includes the image data generated by using focus information differing from the changed focus state.

Dependent claims

An image processing apparatus that generates image data in which a focus state of a captured image is specified, the image processing apparatus comprising:

a processor;
and
a memory coupled to the processor to store instructions that cause the processor to perform operations of at least one of a plurality of units of the image processing apparatus including:
a specifying unit configured to specify a focus state of an image;
an image generating unit configured to acquire information indicating an intensity of light related to a captured image and information indicating a direction of light related to the captured image to generate image data of which the focus state has been specified by the specifying unit;
a display data generating unit configured to generate display data for deletion confirmation upon a deletion operation of the image data;
and
an outputting unit configured to output the image data generated by the image generating unit and the display data generated by the display data generating unit,
wherein, when the focus state is changed by a specification made by the specifying unit, the image generating unit generates image data in a predetermined focus state differing from the changed focus state upon the deletion operation of the image data.

6 more elements

A control method that is executed by an image processing apparatus for generating image data in which a focus state of a captured image is specified, the method comprising:

specifying the focus state of the image;
acquiring information indicating an intensity of light related to a captured image and information indicating a direction of light related to the captured image;
generating image data of which the focus state has been specified in the specifying using the information acquired in the acquiring;
generating display data for deletion confirmation upon deletion operation of the image data;
and
outputting the generated image data and the generated display data,
wherein, when the focus state is changed by the specification made in the specifying, an image data in a predetermined focus state differing from the changed focus state is generated in generating the image data upon deletion operation of the image data.
