IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, PROGRAM, AND IMAGING APPARATUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily generate a more natural composite image by use of a plurality of captured images.SOLUTION: A captured image selection unit 120 selects a replaced captured image and a replacing captured image from among a plurality of captured images successively captured. A multi-resolution decomposition unit 132 decomposes a first area including at least a replacing area outer periphery area in the replacing captured image and a second area including at least a replaced area outer periphery area in the replaced captured image, into multiple resolutions. A replacement processing unit 133 replaces at least a part of the second area with at least a part of the first area with respect to frequency components obtained by decomposition in the multi-resolution decomposition unit 132. A composite image generation unit 130 generates a composite image by first processing which reconfigures the frequency components replaced by the replacement processing unit 133 or second processing which synthesizes the reconfigured image obtained in the first processing with the image in the replacing area.
