Image processing apparatus and method for generating a high resolution image

摘要

To generate a high resolution image of higher quality depending on a target area. An image processing apparatus includes a blur amount estimating unit configured to estimate a blur amount in a set target area in each of images indicated by a plurality of low resolution image data, and a reference image selecting unit configured to select a low resolution image to be a reference for generating the high resolution image depending on the estimated blur amount.

1. An image processing apparatus configured to generate a high resolution image having higher resolution than a plurality of low resolution images from the low resolution images, the image processing apparatus comprising:
a central processing unit configured to control the image processing apparatus to operate as:
a target area setting unit configured to set a target area which is an area to be noted in each of the low resolution images;an image index estimating unit configured to estimate an image index representing a property of an image in the target area set in each of the low resolution images; anda selecting unit configured to select any of the low resolution images which are a reference for generating the high resolution image from the low resolution images depending on the estimated image index, the target area setting unit taking a logical sum or a logical product for the target area set in each of the low resolution images between the low resolution images, thereby modifying the set target area.
