Problems solved by technology

[0045] However, in the case of an object moving in front of a stationary background, not only the blending of the moving object image itself can cause motion blur, but also the blending of the moving object image with the background image
Traditionally, processing images corresponding to a mixture of background images and images of moving objects has not been considered
[0046] Also, applying edge enhancement processing to images that contain motion blur sometimes results in unnatural images
Set the edge improvement lower so that the unnatural image does not appear and the image resolution is not improved enough

Embodiment Construction

[0374] Fig. 10 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of an image processing apparatus according to the present invention. A CPU (Central Processing Unit) 71 executes various types of processing in accordance with programs stored in a ROM (Read Only Memory) 72 or a storage unit 78 . A RAM (Random Access Memory) 73 appropriately stores programs executed by the CPU 71, data, and the like. These CPU 71 , ROM 72 , and RAM 73 are connected to each other via a bus 74 .

[0375] The CPU 71 is also connected to an input / output interface 75 via a bus 74 . The input / output interface 75 is connected with an input unit 76 such as a keyboard, a mouse, a microphone, and the like, and is connected with an output unit 77 such as a display, a speaker, and the like. The CPU 71 performs various types of processing corresponding to instructions input from the input unit 76 . Then, the CPU 71 outputs images, sounds, and the like obtained as a result of the processing to t...

Abstract

The present invention allows an image to be processed corresponding to the mixture of a background image and an image of a moving object. A region specifying unit specifies a mixed region wherein foreground object components making up foreground objects and background object components making up background objects are mixed, and a non-mixed region configured of one of foreground object components making up foreground objects or background object components making up background objects, and outputs region information corresponding to the results of specifying. A region processing unit 5001 processes input images for each of the regions specified by the region information. The present invention can be applied to image processing devices for processing images.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image processing device and method, and an image-taking device, and more particularly, to an image-processing device and method, and an image-taking device that take into account the difference between a signal detected by a sensor and an objective reality. Background technique [0002] One type of processing that generates higher resolution images from an input image is class classification adaptation processing. An example of classification adaptive processing is generating in advance coefficients used in processing to generate an image with higher resolution in the spatial direction, and processing to generate an image with higher resolution in the spatial direction based on the generated coefficients. [0003] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a conventional image processing apparatus for generating coefficients used in classification adaptive processing for generating HD (High Definition) im...
