To reduce burden of a viewer at the time of performing stereoscopic display by a stereoscopic display device and to show a stereoscopic image in a natural and comfortable manner.A disparity estimating unit 210 estimates disparity from the left and right images of an input image to generate a disparity map. A disparity analyzing unit 230 analyzes the disparity map to generate a disparity control parameter for performing suitable disparity control. A disparity control unit 240 controls the content of processing at an image conversion unit 250 in accordance with the disparity control parameter. The image conversion unit 250 performs image conversion on the input image based on the control by the disparity control unit 240 to output an output image. The image conversion unit 250 performs image conversion of two steps. The image conversion unit 250 performs shift processing for shifting the relative positions of the left and right images of the input image in the horizontal direction as first step image conversion, for example. The image conversion unit 250 performs scaling processing for performing enlargement/reduction of the entire screen with each center of the left and right images as a reference, as second step image conversion, for example.

An image processing apparatus processes an input image while also considering the luminous intensity information thereof, and thereby generates an output image wherein the apparent object surface roughness has been enhanced with respect to the input image. The image processing apparatus includes a luminous intensity information separator that separates the input image information into global luminous intensity information and local luminous intensity information, a shadow component generator that generates a shadow component of the image on the basis of the local luminous intensity information, and an image compositor that generates an output image by adding shadow image information to the input image information, with the shadow image information being generated from the shadow component and from a value based on the input image information.

A video signal processing method includes the steps of processing an input video signal and outputting an output video signal, detecting a temporal feature from the input video signal, smoothing the temporal feature by filtering and outputting the smoothed temporal feature, and controlling processing performed in the processing step in accordance with the temporal feature smoothed in the smoothing step. In this method, the smoothing step switches a characteristic of the filtering in accordance with the attribute of the input video signal.

The invention provides an image processing apparatus and an image processing method. An area to which image data belongs is discriminated, and a correction coefficient to be used for correction of a pixel value of the image data is produced based on a result of the discrimination. Then, the pixel value of the image data is corrected with the correction coefficient. The relationship in magnitude among pixel values in the same area is maintained because the same coefficient is used, but pixel values which belong to different areas can be varied or even reversed. This allows the gradation of an entire image to be corrected while preventing partial deterioration of the contrast.

Each of a plurality of input images is smoothed. A plurality of smoothed images different from each other in the degree of smoothing thus results. Each of first and second synthesizers calculate an edge intensity based on an intermediate synthesized image generated from at least one smoothed image and having a relatively large degree of smoothing and another smoothed image having a relatively small degree of smoothing, and synthesizes the intermediate synthesized image and the smoothed image based on the edge intensity, thereby generating a synthesized smoothed image. A second synthesized smoothed image generated by the second synthesizer is output as a final synthesized smoothed image representing an illumination component, and is then used as a coefficient for converting a pixel value.
摘要:
A histogram section determines as a motion vector at a pixel of interest the candidate motion vector with highest frequency from among a candidate motion vector at the pixel of interest and candidate motion vectors at pixels neighboring the pixel of interest supplied by a template matching section, and supplies it to a motion-vector correcting section. The motion-vector correction section evaluates the confidence level of the motion vector supplied by the histogram section based on the luminance gradient around the pixel of interest detected by a luminance-gradient detecting section and a control signal indicating whether correction should be carried out supplied by the template matching section. If it is determined that the confidence level of the motion vector is low, the motion vector is corrected.
