IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGING APPARATUS, METHOD AND PROGRAM

摘要

An image processing apparatus includes a tone conversion section configured to execute luminance tone compression on an entered image by use of a predetermined conversion curve; a linear matrix processing block configured to execute correction based on matrix operation on an image entered via the tone conversion section; and a hue and saturation adjustment block configured to execute hue and saturation conversion processing based on a set parameter on an image entered via the linear matrix processing block. The apparatus further includes a brightness decision block configured to determine whether brightness of the image to be processed is lower than a certain brightness level; and a control block configured to control a combination of the operations to be processed by the processing section and blocks on the basis of setting of a tone conversion function of the tone conversion section and a decision result obtained by the brightness decision block.
