An accurate white balance adjustment process is provided for an image captured in an environment where different color components, such as an ambient light and a flash light are mixed. With respect to image to be captured under a plurality of different types of irradiation light, such as ambient light, and flash light, the image is captured or generated in an environment of single light irradiation. The white balance adjustment according to the parameter set up based on the color component (color temperature) of each type of irradiation light is carried out with respect to the image in each environment of the single light irradiation, so as to synthesize them Furthermore, with respect to the moved portion of the subject itself, the present invention is arranged such that the pixel value is compensated and set up based on adjacent pixel values of the motionless portion, it becomes possible to generate a natural image data with smooth changes between pixels.

In an apparatus and a method for executing generation and reproduction processing of picture data suitable for picture display devices having differing processable frame rates, low frame rate picture data is generated on the basis of a plurality of temporally continuous pictures having a high frame rate to provide picture data having a plurality of layers. Decimated data may be set as the high frame rate layer data. In this manner, the quantity of data to be transmitted or stored is reduced.

A light source estimating apparatus for estimating a type of a light source used when an input image was picked up, the apparatus including: distribution retaining means which retains a distribution, in a predetermined space, of pixel data picked up under a first or second light source; coordinate determining means which determines coordinates of the pixel data of the input image in the predetermined space; and distribution judging means which judges distribution of the pixel data picked up under the first or second light source to which the coordinates belong.

An apparatus and a method for efficiently executing correction of false color, such as purple fringe, caused by chromatic aberration and for generating and outputting high-quality image data are provided. A white-saturated pixel is detected from image data, a false-color-pixel detection area is set around the detected white-saturated pixel, and pixels having color corresponding to false color such as purple fringe are detected from the set area. The detected pixels are determined as false-color pixels and correction processing based on the values of the surrounding pixels is performed on the determined false-color pixels. With this configuration, an area of false color such as purple fringe generated in the neighborhood of a white-saturated pixel can be efficiently detected, pixel values can be partially corrected, and high-quality image data can be generated and output without affecting the entire image.

The present invention relates to a method, apparatus and program for processing an image, capable of producing a sharp image. A digital camera 1 includes an imaging device 4 formed of a single-plane sensor that provides one color signal for each pixel. A plurality of images are captured at a high shutter speed by the imaging device 4 and stored in a frame memory 22 of a signal processor 7. The signal processor 7 detects a positional relationship among the plurality of images stored in the frame memory 22 and estimates a correct image with three color signals at each pixel, based on the detected positional relationship. The present invention is applicable, for example, to a digital camera.

A projected image of a three-dimensional object is displayed in a frame which is a constituent of a moving picture. Shape information concerning the shape of a surface of the three-dimensional object and a characteristic point on the projected image of the surface are designated. The projected image of the surface of the three-dimensional object is transformed into a corresponding two-dimensionally developed expanded image. Rendering is effected on an overall expanded image storage area that stores the entire part of the expanded image of the surface. A predetermined cut-out region is cut out of the overall expanded image storage area, and a retouching work such as an editorial work is effected on the expanded image, based on the content of the cut-out region. The retouched expanded image is then re-transformed back to the projected image on the frame. Three-dimensional retouching such as a three-dimensional editorial work can therefore easily be effected on a two-dimensional moving picture.

The present invention relates to a picture generator and a picture generation method. In detail the picture generator provides a mobile photograph device acquires first video data by photographing a performer in front of a predetermined background, a camera parameter calculator acquires the viewpoint of the photograph device, a first video data generator generates second video data corresponding to the projected picture of a predetermined object to which perspective transformation in a case viewed from the viewpoint of the photographing device acquired in the camera parameter calculator is applied, a data delay device acquires third video data by delaying the first video data corresponding to the processing time of the camera parameter calculator and the first video data generator, a first video data synthesizer acquires first synthetic video data by synthesizing the third video data and the second video data, a second video data synthesizer acquires second synthetic video data by synthesizing the first video data and the second video data, and a picture display that displays a picture for assisting the performance of the performer based upon the second synthetic video data. Hereby, a picture for assisting the movement of the performer is hardly delayed and the performer can readily perform.

A multiple parallel digital signal processor having a large number of bit processing processor elements arranged in one-dimensional array is treated as a processor block, and a plurality of the processor blocks are connected in sequence, while removing redundancy, to form a processor block column. A plurality of processor blocks are connected in sequence such that a processor block at a subsequent stage is supplied either with output of a processor block at a previous stage or with input data, and any of outputs of the processor block columns is delivered as a final output, thereby making it possible to realize a signal processing apparatus which has high performance, versatility, and simple configuration.

A constant matrix �TS! is resolved into three constant matrices �TSC!, �TSB!, �TSA!. 1st.about.16th rows of the constant matrix �TSC! are calculated by a first stage of additions/subtractions (adders/subtractors 1.sub.1 .about.1.sub.16) to which elements A1.about.A16 are inputted. 1st.about.16th rows of the constant matrix �TSB! are calculated by a second stage of additions/subtractions (adders/subtractors 2.sub.1 .about.2.sub.16) to which outputs from the first stage of additions/subtractions are inputted in a predetermined pattern as shown. 1st.about.16th rows of the constant matrix �TSA! are calculated by a third stage of additions/subtractions (adders/subtractors 3.sub.1 .about.3.sub.16) to which outputs from the second stage of additions/subtractions are inputted in a predetermined pattern as shown. As a result, 1st.about.16th rows of the constant matrix �TS! are calculated by the first through third stages of additions/subtractions, outputting elements B1.about.B16. The amount of computation required to calculate the matrices is reduced.
