摘要： A plurality of parameters included in a predetermined illumination equation which defines a brightness are acquired for each pixel of an image. For each of the parameters, a homogeneous region including pixels which are similar in value of the parameter is specified. In each of the specified homogeneous region, each of the parameters is converted according to details of the predetermined image conversion. The brightness of each pixel of a second image is determined using the values of the parameters obtained after the conversion.

摘要： An interpolated image obtained by enlarging and interpolating an image (IN) is subjected to predetermined vector transformation to calculate an image feature vector. Also, a characteristic of a subject is obtained to calculate a physical characteristic parameter of the interpolated image. The physical characteristic parameter is used to transform the image feature vector to sharpen the interpolated image. The transformed image feature vector is subjected to transformation inverse to the predetermined vector transformation to generate an enlarged image (ELI).

摘要： In a learning process, first, images having different resolutions are obtained from a target region of the subject (S101). Further, the subject characteristic of the target region is obtained (S102). Then, the resolution conversion rules are learned from the images having different resolutions, and those are recorded to a storage device along with the subject characteristics (S103). When converting the resolutions, the resolution conversion rules learned for the corresponding subject characteristics are applied to each region of the original image so as to convert the resolutions of the original image.

摘要： An image processor (101) according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a polarized light source (102) and a polarization camera (103). In shooting an object (104), the object is irradiated with polarized light (105) that rotates its polarization plane. The polarized light is reflected from the object's surface and the polarized reflected light (106) reaches the polarization camera (103), thereby recording an image there. The polarization camera (103) includes a polarization image sensor (201), an intensity and polarization information processing section (202), a polarization plane control section (204), and an image capturing control section (205). By capturing an image every time the polarization plane control section (204) changes the polarization state of the polarized light, an intensity image Y and a polarization phase image P are obtained in association with each polarization state. Using these images, a resolution increasing processing section (203) generates a high-resolution normal image (208) and a high resolution intensity image (209).

摘要： A polarization camera that can capture polarization images and a color image at the same time is used. Specifically, a clear sky polarization image, which provides information about the polarization of a part of the sky, is captured by a clear sky polarization image capturing section 100. And by reference to the information provided by a sun position determining section 1301 that determines the sun's position at the time of shooting, a camera direction estimating section 101 determines in what direction and in what area of the whole sky the clear sky polarization image is located as a polarization pattern. Finally, information about what direction or orientation on the globe the camera (image capture device) is now facing is output. In this manner, the direction of the camera and the relative position of the camera with respect to the sun can be known without providing a sensor separately and without capturing the whole sky or the sun.

摘要： The resolution of an image of an object is increased. The illumination equation parameters of the object are estimated, and a resolution-increasing process is performed on the estimated illumination equation parameters. Then, the resolution-increased illumination equation parameters are synthesized together to produce a high-resolution image. If there is a pixel for which the estimation precision of the estimated illumination equation parameters does not satisfy a predetermined precision, the illumination equation parameters are estimated again while feeding back the resolution-increased illumination equation parameters.
