Title:
IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND IMAGE PROCESSING PROGRAM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/159581
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An image processing apparatus comprises: an image acquisition means for acquiring low-resolution images captured in time sequence; a positioning means for generating a high-resolution image obtained by positioning, on the basis of the motions between the low-resolution images, the low-resolution images on a high-resolution image space; a correlation calculation means for calculating, for each of a plurality of partial areas of the high-resolution image, correlation information indicating a degree of correlation between the corresponding areas of the low-resolution images corresponding to the partial area; and an image combination means for calculating, on the basis of the correlation information, a combination ratio between the high-resolution image and a to-be-combined image for each partial area and for combining, in accordance with the combination ratio, the high-resolution image and the to-be-combined image having a lower resolution than the high-resolution image; wherein a combination ratio calculation means calculates a combination ratio for each partial area such that the lower the correlation for the area is, the smaller the percentage of the high-resolution image is and such that the higher the correlation for the area is, the larger the percentage of the high-resolution image is.
