AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Conventional image processing technologies degrade image quality due to the influence of noise from invisible components, as they indiscriminately remove these components without determining their necessity.
Method used
An image processing device that includes sensors for visible and invisible light, an invisible component removal unit, a necessity determination unit, and an output unit to selectively remove invisible components based on necessity, thereby preventing image quality degradation.
Benefits of technology
Prevents image quality degradation by selectively removing invisible components only when necessary, maintaining image quality and reducing noise impact.

Abstract
To prevent image quality from being deteriorated by the influence of noise included in an invisible image by determining the necessity of removal of an invisible component.SOLUTION: An image processing apparatus includes an input unit that receives a first visible image obtained by reading a reading target with a first sensor having sensitivity to light in a visible wavelength range and a first invisible image obtained by reading the reading target with a second sensor having sensitivity to light in an invisible wavelength range, an invisible component removal unit that generates a second visible image by removing a component in an invisible wavelength range included in the first visible image using the invisible image, a necessity determination unit that determines necessity of removal of the component, and an output unit that outputs the first visible image or the second visible image based on a determination result of the necessity determination unit.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3
