Abstract
An image processing method using multiple images includes the steps of imaging multiple differently focused images I (m=1, . . . , n); deriving an identical equation based on superposition models realized between the multiple differently focused images I and desired images I, obtaining a solution by substituting multiple images I and the functions T and T of different focusing into the identical equation; performing an image process for generating desired image I based on this solution; and selectively generating a desired image I by controlling the function T .
