The present invention relates to an apparatus and method of correcting a chromatic aberration of an image, and in particular, to an apparatus and method of correcting a chromatic aberration of an image that can correct a general chromatic aberration of an edge or an extreme chromatic aberration, such as a purple fringe, in an image. An apparatus for correcting a chromatic aberration of an image according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an edge detection unit detecting an edge of an input image, a level calculation unit calculating a chromatic aberration level of the detected edge, and a correction unit correcting the edge using different weighted values according to the calculated chromatic aberration level.

Apparatus and method of compensating chromatic aberration of image

An apparatus and method for digital auto-focus are provided. The apparatus includes a local block generator generating a local block from an input image, a distance-estimation unit estimating distances of each image of the local block, a focal-distance-setting unit setting one of the estimated distances of the local block image as a focal distance of the input image, a reblurred-image generator generating a reblurred image from the local block image, a reconstructed image generator generating an in-focus image focused to the estimated distances from the local block image, a local-block-image-matching unit matching the reblurred image to the in-focus image with different weight values based on the set focal distance, and a final-image generator generating a final image by summing the matched local block images.
