Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes: a use-image selector configured to generate use-image selection information for selecting one image, from a plurality of images of a subject which are captured for a plurality of exposure time periods, to be used for each region of a synthesized image; an average processor configured to acquire averaged use-image selection information by averaging previous use-image selection information and current use-image selection information; and a synthesizer configured to generate the synthesized image by synthesizing at least two images, among the plurality of images, to constitute the each region according to the averaged use-image selection information.

An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a use-image selector configured to generate use-image selection information for selecting one image, from a plurality of images of a subject which are captured for a plurality of exposure time periods, to be used for each region of a synthesized image;
- an average processor configured to acquire averaged use-image selection information by averaging previous use-image selection information and current use-image selection information;
- and
- a synthesizer configured to generate the synthesized image by synthesizing at least two images, among the plurality of images, to constitute the each region according to the averaged use-image selection information.
An image processing method comprising:
