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

摘要

An image processing apparatus 100 selects one of multiple low-resolution images as a reference image candidate and determines transformation matrices for aligning the other aligning low-resolution images; conducts coordinate-transforming the other low-resolution images with the transformation matrices and plotting the reference image candidate and the coordinate-transformed low-resolution images on to a mapping image to generate a reconfigured image for reference image selection; gives a higher evaluation value to the reference image candidate as the number of pixels of the reference image candidate and the other low-resolution images plotted on the mapping image is larger. This image processing apparatus can select a reference image appropriate for generating a high-quality, high-resolution image from among multiple low-resolution images.
