Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes: a blur removing processing section configured to carry out a blur removing process for an input image using a plurality of blur removal coefficients for removing blur of a plurality of different blur amounts to produce a plurality of different blur removal result images; a feature detection section configured to detect a feature from each of the different blur removal result images; a blur amount class determination section configured to determine blur amount classes representative of classes of the blur amounts from the features; and a prediction processing section configured to carry out mathematic operation of pixel values of predetermined pixels of the input image and prediction coefficients learned in advance and corresponding to the blur amount classes to produce an output image from which the blur is removed.
