Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for image processing are provided. The method comprises receiving input of a visible-ray image and a far-infrared-ray image obtained by photographing a same subject, estimating a blur estimation result in the visible-ray image, wherein estimating a blur estimation result comprises calculating a correlation between the visible-ray image and each of a plurality of filter-applied far-infrared ray images in which a different filter is applied to the far-infrared-ray image and selecting the filter for which the calculated correlation is highest, and performing a correction process on the visible-ray image based, at least in part, on the blur estimation result to generate a corrected visible-ray image from which the blur is reduced, wherein generating the corrected visible-ray image comprises applying, to the visible ray image, an inverse filter having an inverse characteristic to a characteristic of the selected filter.
