Abstract
An image processing apparatus is disclosed which processes noise resulting from a defective pixel different from a low saturation pixel, included in image data generated by an image sensor including a plurality of pixels two-dimensionally arranged to receive light from outside and generate a signal according to an amount of received light and including a plurality of read-out circuits that read out the signal as a pixel value. The image processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit that obtains the image data generated by the image sensor and a saturation level of each of the plurality of pixels; and a noise processing unit that processes the noise on the basis of the saturation level obtained by the acquisition unit.
