Abstract:
An image capturing apparatus comprises: an image sensor configured to sense an image and output image data; an image processing unit configured to perform image processing on the image data; an output unit configured to output the processed image data to an external image processing apparatus; an input unit configured to input first processing information used in image processing performed by the external image processing apparatus on the image data; and a recording unit configured to record the first processing information, second processing information used for converting image data into standard image data, and at least one of the image data processed by the image processing unit and the unprocessed image data, in association with the stated image data.
Abstract:
To allow re-producing, in another image processing apparatus, contents of image processing in an image processing apparatus, a provisional color grading apparatus 300 determines normalizing points (CodeValues that serve as references for normalizing) of input image signals according to format information and normalizes the input image signals. The provisional color grading apparatus 300 records values (normalizing information) obtained by converting the normalizing points into numerical values independent of devices, in association with parameters of color grading.
Abstract:
The amount of light to be emitted by an auxiliary light source for capturing an image to which correction processing is applied, as well as a parameter used in the correction processing, is determined based on a degree of shadows of an object to be captured using the auxiliary light source. In this way, shadows in an image obtained through image capture using the auxiliary light source can be appropriately corrected with a simple method.
Abstract:
An image processing apparatus connectable with an information processing apparatus, includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire an image obtained by image-capturing an object, a unit configured to acquire image capturing information indicating information on image-capturing of the object, a determination unit configured to determine whether the image capturing information is private information, and an association unit configured to, in a case where the determination unit determines that the image capturing information is not private information, associate the image capturing information with the image, wherein in a case where the determination unit determines that the image capturing information is private information, the association unit associates link information for acquiring the image capturing information based on an access condition set in the image capturing information with the image, instead of associating the image capturing information with the image.
Abstract:
A video image reproducing apparatus reads out sub-content information related to sub-content to be reproduced, from a recording medium, obtains attribute information indicative of the features of the sub-content, on the basis of the sub-content information, and controls each reproduction procedure of the main content and the sub-content on the basis of the attribute information, so that the main content and the sub-content are reproduced in coordination with the features of the sub-content.
Abstract:
An image processing apparatus, which correctly extracts specular reflected light components of reflected light from an object, and accurately estimates a light source color, is provided. The image processing apparatus calculates a pixel value difference distribution by repeating, for respective pixels, to calculate pixel value differences between a pixel of interest and adjacent pixels in an input image and to calculate similarities between pixel value differences. A light source estimation unit estimates a color of a light source which illuminates an object in the input image based on the calculated distribution.
Abstract:
A production unit of an image processing apparatus produces a contour signal of an image including a specific subject. A detection unit detects, on the basis of the contour signal, a representative contour direction for each of a plurality of division regions of the image, where the detection unit detects a specific direction as the representative contour direction when the direction of the entire contour portion included in the division regions is biased in the specific direction by at least a specific degree. A determination unit determines a type of the subject on the basis of at least one of a direction-based frequency distribution of the detected representative contour directions, a number of representative contour directions detected, etc. A correction unit configured to correct the image data according to a correction method corresponding to the type of the subject.
Abstract:
An image processing apparatus includes: an image acquisition unit configured to acquire a photographed image; an editing unit configured to edit the photographed image by executing an action including an application and image processing that is a function of the application; an information acquisition unit configured to acquire photographing information on photographing of the photographed image; a first acquisition unit configured to acquire first history information indicating a history of actions for the photographed image; a second acquisition unit configured to acquire second history information based on at least a history of actions for an image different from the photographed image; and a control unit configured to determine a candidate for an action that is to be executed next on a basis of the first history information and the second history information and perform control to notify the determined candidate.
Abstract:
A portable terminal capable of executing a plurality of applications at the same time comprising a system controller configured to determine whether or not a background application can be executed in the background while the foreground application is being executed and executes the background application in the background, wherein the system controller determines whether or not the background application can be executed in the background based on information about the foreground application and environment suitability information from during the execution of the foreground application.
Abstract:
An image processing apparatus includes a plurality of acquisition units configured to acquire distance distribution information about a subject included in the image, the plurality of acquisition units including a first acquisition unit configured to acquire the distance distribution information about the subject included in the image, based on parallax information about the image, and a second acquisition unit configured to acquire the distance distribution information about the subject included in the image, based on a feature quantity of the image different from the parallax information, and a determination unit configured to determine the acquisition unit which has acquired the distance distribution information with which a relighting process is to be performed, among the plurality of acquisition units.
