IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGING SYSTEM, AND IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM

摘要

An image processing apparatus includes: an image acquisition unit for acquiring original images obtained by imaging an object at different focal positions; an image generation unit for generating a plurality of observation images from the original images, the observation images being mutually different in at least either focal position or DOF; and an image displaying unit for displaying the observation images on a display device. The image generation unit generates the observation images by performing combine processing for selecting two or more original images from the original images and focus-stacking the selected original images to generate a single observation image, for plural times while differing a combination of the selected original images. The image displaying unit selects the observation images to be displayed, when the observation images displayed on the display device are switched, such that the focal position or the DOF changes sequentially.
