20120099008 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD CAPABLE OF PERFORMING CORRECTION PROCESS SPEEDILY AND EASILY - An image processing apparatus capable of performing a correction process by filtering speedily and easily. A digital signal processor captures image data including effective area data from within a preset range of an image pickup device and ineffective area data from outside the preset range of the image pickup device. The digital signal processor superimposes a defective pixel detection signal and an ineffective image data detection signal to thereby generate a defective pixel determination signal. When a target pixel in the image data is determined based on the defective pixel determination signal as a determined-as-defective pixel, the digital signal processor corrects the value of the target pixel using values of the image data associated with ones, which are not determined, based on the defective pixel determination signal, as the determined-as-defective pixel, of pixels around the target pixel. | 04-26-2012 |
20130128006 | IMAGE CAPTURING APPARATUS, PLAYBACK APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, IMAGE CAPTURING SYSTEM AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A first image nonalignment amount, between a first type image and a second type image captured when the focusing lens is located at an in-focus position, of any subject, that is positioned a predetermined distance from the image capturing apparatus, is obtained. A second image nonalignment amount, between the first type image and the second type image obtained when the focusing lens is located at a predetermined reference position, of the subject is obtained. Then an image shift amount, for at least one of the first type image and the second type image captured when the focusing lens is located at the in-focus position, is determined, so that the difference between the first image nonalignment amount and the second image nonalignment amount falls within a predetermined range. | 05-23-2013 |
20130308011 | IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD - An image pickup apparatus having an obtaining unit for obtaining a pixel signal of a first image and a pixel signal of a second image having a parallax to the first image performs a position adjustment to the first and second images having the parallax, subtracts the pixel signal of the second image from the pixel signal of the first image with respect to a corresponding pixel, and obtains a specular reflection light component, thereby specifying light source color. | 11-21-2013 |
