摘要:
A method for setting parameters values of a video source device comprising obtaining a value of an image characteristic for a current image generated by the video source device set with initial parameters values; determining a satisfaction level for the image characteristic of the current image based on the obtained value, the satisfaction level representing a probability to fulfil a task; obtaining a set of candidates, a candidate being defined as a set of parameters values; for each candidate, predicting an evolution of the satisfaction level for the image characteristic relatively to the satisfaction level determined while the video source device is set with the initial parameters values; selecting a candidate based on its predicted evolution of the satisfaction level; setting the parameters values of the video source device using the set of parameters values of the selected candidate.

Disclosed is an image processing apparatus and a control method thereof that can correct the brightness of a pixel in an image. Reflection characteristics of environment light when the image is captured are estimated by applying smoothing to the image. The brightness of the pixel is corrected by computing a correction value for correcting the brightness of the pixel based on the reflection characteristics of the environment light and adding the correction value to the pixel. The brightness can be corrected while suppressing an amplification of noise and a loss of details of a subject.

An imaging device and its image processing for creating an image with less blur from a small number of images under different exposure conditions in a shortened processing time. The imaging device 10 captures an image by means of an optical system 11 and an imaging element 12 in a short exposure time with a high resolution and much noise and images in a long exposure time with low resolution and less noise. After signal processing by signal processing section 13, a CPU 14 detects the position variation between captured images and blurs, separates the edges blur and the noise by using the threshold from the two difference images, combines the two images at a varied combination ratio, and thereby creates an image with no blur and reduced noise.

A camera includes: a taking lens forming an image of a subject; an image pickup unit; a subject brightness acquisition unit acquiring the brightness information of the subject on the basis of the output of the image pickup unit; a control unit controlling the exposure according to the brightness information acquired by the subject brightness acquisition unit; and a storage unit storing the information indicating the optical state of the taking lens before the subject brightness acquisition unit acquires the brightness information. The control unit determines whether or not the brightness information is acquired again by the subject brightness acquisition unit according to the information about the optical state of the taking lens stored in the storage unit when the subject brightness acquisition unit previously acquired the brightness information, and the information about the optical state of the taking lens when the latest brightness information is acquired.
