Abstract
An image processing apparatus has an acquisition unit that acquires a first image captured by coded exposure in which a transfer unit is driven for n times, and acquires a second image captured by driving the transfer unit for m times (m<n), an image correction processing unit that generates a third image by performing blur correction processing on the first image, and an image comparison unit that evaluates a plurality of images including at least two of the first image, the second image, and the third image, and selects an image of which evaluation is the highest among the plurality of images as an output image, or increases a weight for an image of which evaluation is highest among the plurality of images, relative to those of the other images, when an output image is generated by combining the plurality of images.
