An apparatus includes a sensor, at least one memory, and at least one processor in communication with the at least one memory. The sensor is configured to pick up a plurality of images of an object, wherein the plurality of images is overlapped in at least a part of field angle and different in focal position. The at least one memory is configured to store instructions. The at least one processor is configured to execute the instructions to acquire distance information on the object and acquire difference of distances based on the distance information, set an aperture value based on the difference of distances, and combine the plurality of images. The sensor picks up the plurality of images at the set aperture value.

Apparatus, method, and recording medium

An apparatus includes at least one processor configured to function as following units including a first difference extraction unit configured to extract a first difference between a plurality of images, an alignment unit configured to correct a position of an image with reference to a predetermined subject within the plurality of images, a second difference extraction unit configured to extract a second difference between the plurality of images after the position of the image is corrected by the alignment unit, and a detection unit configured to detect a moving object area based on the extracted first difference and the extracted second difference.

Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and storage medium

An image processing apparatus detects motion information of an image capturing unit in a time period between capturing of a first image and capturing of a second image by the image capturing unit, and detects a plurality of motion vectors between the first image and the second image. Further, the image processing apparatus determines reliability of the detected motion information, and determines, based on the motion information and the reliability, a motion vector to be used for alignment of the first image and the second image, from the plurality of motion vectors.

Image processing apparatus, image pickup apparatus, method for controlling image processing apparatus and storage medium

An image processing apparatus performs a first detection that detects motion information of an image sensor during a period in which the image sensor captures a first image and a second image based on an output of a sensor different from the image sensor, a second detection that detects a plurality of motion vectors between the first image and the second image, a determination of first reliability of the motion information detected by the first detection and second reliability of the motion vectors detected by the second detection, and an alignment based on either one of the motion vectors or a vector indicated by the motion information, which has higher reliability, or a vector obtained from the motion vectors and the motion information according to the reliability.

Image processing apparatus, image pickup apparatus, control method of image processing apparatus, and recording apparatus

An image processing apparatus performs first calculation configured to calculate a conversion coefficient, with respect to images having a same exposure, with respect to a plurality of images, second calculation configured to calculate a conversion coefficient of images having different exposures, positional adjustment configured to execute positional adjustment with respect to the plurality of images by using the conversion coefficient calculated in the second calculation, and composition configured to execute composition with respect to the images to generate a composite image having a dynamic range and a viewing angle wider than the images, and in the second calculation an image used for detection with respect to a part of images from among the plurality of images is newly generated.

Image processing apparatus, image processing method, image capturing apparatus, and storage medium for panoramic image composition

An image capture apparatus sets a plurality of target focus positions, causes an image sensor to capture a plurality of images based on the target focus positions, and calculates focus positions with respect to an object of a plurality of captured images. In a case where the image capture apparatus captures a first image and a second image sequentially and where a difference between a focus position calculated for capturing the first image and a focus position calculated for capturing the second image is higher than a predetermined threshold value, the image capture apparatus resets a part of the target focus positions for images to be captured subsequently.

Image capture apparatus, control method for image capture apparatus and non-transitory recording medium for combining image

An image processing device that is capable of synthesizing a plurality of images by accurately correcting an image shift even in a photographing scene with a lot of external disturbances, such as noise. An image processing device synthesizes a plurality of images obtained by photographing an object that moves at a predetermined speed to thereby obtain a synthesized image. Each of the plurality of images is divided into a plurality of blocks, and a motion vector is detected from each of the blocks. Selection from the motion vectors is performed based on a focal length and an exposure interval applied when the plurality of images are obtained. Synthesis processing is performed by aligning the plurality of images based on the selected motion vectors, whereby the synthesized image is obtained.
