An image processing apparatus includes a first image sensor unit configured to acquire a first image, a second image sensor unit having a characteristic different from that of the first image sensor unit and configured to acquire a second image, and a processor configured to generate detection information about an object based on the first image and to control driving of the second image sensor unit based on the detection information.

Image processing apparatus, control method, and storage medium

There is provided a notifying apparatus. A detecting unit detects a motion amount of an object from an image obtained through first shooting, the first shooting being carried out repeatedly at predetermined intervals of time. A converting unit converts the motion amount into a motion blur amount that will arise in second shooting, on the basis of the predetermined intervals of time and an exposure time used in the second shooting. A determining unit determines whether or not to make a motion blur notification on the basis of a predetermined notification condition. A notifying unit makes a notification of motion blur on the basis of the motion blur amount when it has been determined that the motion blur notification is to be made.

An image processing apparatus that causes an effect of emission of virtual light to be applied in a captured image includes an acquisition unit, a determination unit, and a correction unit. The acquisition unit is configured to acquire ambient light distribution information in the captured image. The determination unit is configured, based on the ambient light distribution information acquired by the acquisition unit, to determine a color characteristic of a virtual light source that is a light source of the virtual light. The correction unit is configured, based on the color characteristic of the virtual light source determined by the determination unit, to make a correction by which the effect of the virtual light is applied in a partial area of the captured image.

Disclosed are an image capture apparatus that includes an image sensor capable of acquiring parallax images, and calculates the amount of parallax while reducing the amount of data that is to be transmitted or recorded, and a method for controlling the same. The image capture apparatus less frequently outputs a second image signal than a first image signal, wherein the first image signal is generated based on all of the photoelectric signals of the plurality of photoelectric conversion units of each pixel, and wherein the second image signal is generated based on at least one of but not all of the photoelectric signals.

An image processing apparatus, determines, using a pixel signal included in a region referenced on a pixel of interest of a target image, a direction having a high signal correlation in the region, performs, using pixel signals from neighboring pixels of the pixel of interest based on a determination result, interpolation processing for interpolating a pixel signal of the pixel of interest, and performs reduction by reducing the number of pixels of the interpolated image, wherein the interpolation processing is executed according to a reduction rate used in the reduction, such that a high frequency component of the image decreases as a degree of reduction increases, while applying a weight to the pixel signal of a pixel, among the neighboring pixels, located in the direction determined as having the high correlation based on the determination result.

A first signal of a pixel of interest in second image data is generated by adding a plurality of signals that correspond to the same color component in first image data consisting of signals corresponding to a plurality of color components. A second signal of the pixel of interest in the second image data is generated by adding a plurality of signals in the first image data that correspond to different color components. The first signal and the second signal are mixed based on color information of the pixel of interest. Jaggies are effectively ameliorated by replacing the value of the pixel of interest with the mixing result.
