Abstract
An image processing apparatus performs sharpening processing on each of a plurality of pieces of left-eye image data, and synthesizes them in a unit of predetermined group to generate left-eye intermediate image data (1). The image processing apparatus then performs sharpening processing on each of a plurality of pieces of left-eye intermediate image data (1) generated by the synthesizing processing and synthesizes them in a unit of predetermined group to generate left-eye intermediate image data (2).
Claims9
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a memory configured to store instructions;
- and
- a processor communicatively coupled to the memory, the processor configured to execute the instructions to:
- receive, at a first input unit, input of a plurality of pieces of first image data of successive plural frames;
- perform, at a first image processing unit, sharpening processing on each of the plurality of pieces of image data of the successive plural frames;
- perform, at a first synthesizing unit, super-resolution processing in a unit of predetermined group to the plurality of pieces of image data which have been subjected to the sharpening processing by the first image processing unit, to generates one intermediate image data;
- perform sharpening processing on each of a plurality of pieces of intermediate image data generated by synthesizing processing super-resolution processing by the first synthesizing unit;
- and
- perform, at a second synthesizing unit, super-resolution processing in a unit of predetermined group to the plurality of pieces of intermediate image data which have been subjected to the sharpening processing by the second image processing unit, and generate the one intermediate image data.
An image processing method executed by an image processing apparatus, the method comprising:
- receiving input of a plurality of pieces of first image data of successive plural frames;
- performing sharpening processing on each of the plurality of pieces of image data of the successive plural frames;
- performing super-resolution processing in a unit of predetermined group to the plurality of pieces of image data which have been subjected to the sharpening processing, and generating an intermediate image data;
- performing sharpening processing on each of a plurality of pieces of intermediate image data generated by super-resolution processing;
- and
- performing super-resolution processing in a unit of predetermined group to the plurality of pieces of intermediate image data which have been subjected to the sharpening processing, and generating the an intermediate image data.
A non-transitory computer readable storage media having instructions for:
- receiving input of a plurality of pieces of first image data of successive plural frames;
- performing sharpening processing on each of the plurality of pieces of image data of the successive plural frames;
- performing super-resolution processing in a unit of predetermined group to the plurality of pieces of image data which have been subjected to the sharpening processing, and generating an intermediate image data;
- performing sharpening processing on each of a plurality of pieces of intermediate image data generated by super-resolution processing;
- and
- performing super-resolution processing in a unit of predetermined group to the plurality of pieces of second image data which have been subjected to the sharpening processing, and generating the intermediate image data.
