Abstract
There is provided an image processing apparatus for displaying a region in focus in a refocused image to be output in such a manner that a user can easily recognize this region compared to displaying the refocused image without any arrangement made thereto. The image processing apparatus includes a first generation unit configured to generate an image in which an image region corresponding to an in-focus position in the refocused image is emphasized as a display image, an input unit configured to input a user instruction, which is an image output instruction, input based on a display of the display image, and an output unit configured to output the refocused image according to the user instruction.
Claims22
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- an acquisition unit configured to acquire image data representing a captured image;
- a first input unit configured to input a first user instruction indicating an in-focus position of a refocused image for generating the refocused image, wherein the in-focus position is a position to be in focus in an image and the refocused image is an image in which the in-focus position of the captured image represented by the image data is changed;
- a first generation unit configured to generate a display image to be displayed according to the first user instruction;
- a second input unit configured to input a second user instruction, which is an image output instruction, input onto the display image;
- and
- an output unit configured to output the refocused image in focus at the in-focus position according to the second user instruction,
- wherein the display image is an image in which an image region corresponding to the in-focus position is emphasized compared to in the refocused image.
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- an acquisition unit configured to acquire image data representing images viewed from a plurality of different viewpoints;
- a first input unit configured to input a first user instruction indicating an in-focus position of a refocused image for generating the refocused image, wherein the in-focus position is a position to be in focus in an image and the refocused image is an image in which the in-focus position of the image represented by the image data is changed;
- and
- a display unit configured to display an image region corresponding to the in-focus position in the image represented by the image data in such a manner that this image region is more emphasized than a different region from the image region in the image according to the first user instruction.
An image processing method comprising:
- acquiring image data representing a captured image;
- inputting, as first inputting, a first user instruction indicating an in-focus position of a refocused image for generating the refocused image, wherein the in-focus position is a position to be in focus in an image and the refocused image is an image in which the in-focus position of the captured image represented by the image data is changed;
- generating, as first generating, a display image to be displayed according to the first user instruction;
- inputting, as second inputting, a second user instruction, which is an image output instruction, input onto a display of the display image;
- and
- outputting the refocused image in focus at the in-focus position according to the second user instruction,
- wherein the display image is an image in which an image region corresponding to the in-focus position is emphasized compared to in the output refocused image.
An image processing method comprising:
- acquiring image data representing images viewed from a plurality of different viewpoints;
- inputting, as first inputting, a first user instruction indicating an in-focus position of a refocused image for generating the refocused image, wherein the in-focus position is a position to be in focus in an image and the refocused image is an image in which the in-focus position of the image represented by the image data is changed;
- and
- displaying an image region corresponding to the in-focus position in the image in such a manner that this image region is more emphasized than a different region from the image region in the image according to the first user instruction.
