Abstract
An image processing method, includes: an input step in which a computer acquires data of a plurality of input images acquired by imaging performed using a same image sensor; and an optimization process step in which a computer determines an optimal solution of brightness change with respect to each input image by performing iterative calculations using an iterative method to improve overall image quality of the plurality of input images. In the optimization process step, an optimal solution of brightness change for each pixel of each input image is determined under a condition that common brightness change is performed with respect to pixels at a same position in respective input images.
