The present technology relates to a signal processing apparatus, an imaging apparatus, and a signal processing method capable of reliably imaging a blinking imaging target in a scene having a very large difference in brightness. By detecting a difference between a plurality of images captured with different exposure times, calculating a combination coefficient indicating a combination ratio between the plurality of images on the basis of the difference, and combining the plurality of images on the basis of the combination coefficient, it is possible to reliably image a blinking imaging target in a scene having a very large difference in brightness. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a camera unit that captures an image.

The present disclosure relates to an image processing device, an image processing method, and a program capable of appropriately synthesizing images respectively including pixel signals generated by a plurality of pixels having different sensitivities. The image processing device includes a synthesis rate calculation unit which calculates a synthesis rate by using at least one of results of predetermined filter processing on a plurality of captured images including outputs from the plurality of pixels having different sensitivities, a plurality of shading correction units which performs shading correction processing on each of the plurality of captured images, a moving subject detection unit which detects a moving subject on the basis of the result of multiplying each of the plurality of filter processing results by a gain of the shading correction processing, a synthesis rate control unit which controls the calculated synthesis rate on the basis of the result of the moving subject detection, and a synthesis unit which synthesizes the plurality of shading processing results according to the controlled synthesis rate. The present disclosure is applied to a case of generating a WD image.

To prevent an increase in memory capacities in a device for performing image combination. A data generation unit executes long exposure processing and short exposure processing in sequence, the long exposure processing being performed to generate data including a plurality of pixel data items as long exposure data by performing exposure over a longer time period of two different exposure time periods, the short exposure processing being performed to generate data including a plurality of pixel data items as short exposure data by performing exposure over a shorter time period of the two different exposure time periods after the long exposure processing. A compression unit compresses the long exposure data to generate compression data. A memory holds the compression data over delay time corresponding to the shorter time period of the two exposure time periods. A decompression unit decompresses the held compression data to restore the long exposure data. A combination unit combines the restored long exposure data and the short exposure data.

An image on which a noise reduction and a dynamic range expansion process have been performed is generated by a sequential synthesis process using continuous-photographed images of different exposure conditions. The continuous-photographed images of different exposure conditions are input, configuration pixels of an input image and an intermediate synthetic image are classified into a noise pixel, an effective pixel, or a saturation pixel, a synthesis processing method of a pixel unit is decided according to a combination of pixel classification results of the corresponding pixels, and the intermediate synthetic image is updated according to the decided method. A 3DNR process is performed when at least one of the corresponding pixels of the input image and the intermediate synthetic image is the effective pixel, the pixel value of the intermediate synthetic image is output without change when both of the corresponding pixels of the input image and the intermediate synthetic image are the saturation pixel or the noise pixel, and the 3DNR process is performed or the pixel value of the intermediate synthetic image is output when one is the saturation pixel, and the other is the noise pixel.
