Provided is an image processing apparatus including a generation section which generates, based on a plurality of images captured at different exposure times, index information representing an index of a brightness of the plurality of images, and a detection section which detects a moving photographic subject included in the plurality of images based on the index information.

Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and program

Disclosed herein is an image processing apparatus including: a detection section configured to detect a motion area in a screen based on images taken, and output detection information; an accumulation section configured to accumulate the detection information for the past as outputted from the detection section; an area division section configured to divide the screen into an area where motions regularly occur and a motion-free area, based on the detection information for the past as accumulated in the accumulation section, and output area information; and an alarm management section configured to perform particular control based on the area information from the area division section and the detection information from the detection section.

Image processing apparatus, image apparatus, image processing method, and program for analyzing an input image of a camera

A camera system, image processing method and computer program stored on a computer readable medium for image processing. Long and short accumulation images with longer and shorter exposure times are respectively obtained from one field. First and second long accumulation evaluation values are computed from the long accumulation image. A short accumulation evaluation value is computed from the short accumulation image. A short accumulation target exposure time and short accumulation exposure control information are acquired from the short accumulation evaluation value and a first target level. A long accumulation evaluation value is acquired by synthesizing the first and second long accumulation evaluation values. Long accumulation exposure control information is acquired from the long accumulation evaluation value and a second target level. An image is generated from the long accumulation image and the short accumulation image.

Imaging processing apparatus, camera system, image processing method, and program

Disclosed herein is an image processing apparatus including a synthesizing processing section configured to synthesize a plurality of images taken at different exposure times wherein, in processing to synthesize the taken images, the synthesizing processing section acquires a taken-image blending ratio varying in accordance with components selected from the taken images and carries out a blending process on a blend area in which pixels of the taken images are to be blended by applying the blending ratio to the blend area.

Image processing apparatus, image taking apparatus, image processing method and image processing program having movement determination

Disclosed herein is an image processing apparatus including a color-flicker detection processing section configured to detect generation of color flickers from a plurality of images taken at different exposure times, wherein the color-flicker detection processing section: acquires a ratio of any specific one of a plurality of color signals of the taken images to another one of the color signals; obtains an evaluation value of the color flickers from the acquired ratio; and determines whether or not the color flickers have been generated on the basis of the magnitude of the evaluation value.

Image processing apparatus for detecting a color flicker in an image
