Abstract
There is provided an image processing apparatus. The image processing apparatus includes: a color reproducing unit for reproducing a luminance of a color phase, which is not set to each pixel of a pair of image data composed of Bayer array, based upon the adjacent pixels; and a matching processing unit for extracting blocks with a predetermined size from the pair of image data whose luminance is reproduced, and executing a matching process so as to specify blocks having high correlation. The color reproducing unit and the matching processing unit respectively execute the luminance reproduction and the matching process with only a color phase with the highest degree of occupation in the Bayer array.
Claims8
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a color reproducing unit configured to reproduce a color phase, which is not set to each pixel of a pair of images composed of Bayer array, based upon the adjacent pixels;
- and
- a matching processing unit configured to extract blocks with a predetermined size from the pair of image data whose color phase is reproduced, and execute a matching process to specify blocks having high correlation,
- wherein the matching processing unit is configured to select one of first and second processes to execute the matching process on the entire pair of images at one time, depending on fineness of edges in the images,
- in the first process, the matching processing unit is configured to execute the matching process with only a color phase with the highest degree of occupation in the Bayer array, and
- in the second process, the matching processing unit is configured to execute the matching process with all color phases in the Bayer array.
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory having instructions causing the processor to perform the following steps:
- reproducing a color phase, which is not set to each pixel of a pair of images composed of Bayer array, based upon the adjacent pixels;
- and
- extracting blocks with a predetermined size from the pair of images whose color phase is reproduced, and executing a matching process to specify blocks having high correlation, wherein
- the processor further is programmed to select one of first and second processes to execute the matching process on the entire pair of images at one time, depending on fineness of edges in the images,
- in the first process, the processor is programmed to execute the matching process with only a color phase with the highest degree of occupation in the Bayer array, and
- in the second process, the processor is programmed to execute the matching process with all color phases in the Bayer array.
