IMAGE PROCESSOR AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME
First Claim
1. An image processor, comprising:
- an image capturing unit;
an image processing unit configured to perform image processing on an image captured by the image capturing unit;
a detection unit configured to detect a shooting scene for the image captured by the image capturing unit;
a determination unit configured to determine priorities of a plurality of different image processing methods to be used by the image processing unit based on a result of the detection by the detection unit; and
a control unit configured to control the image processing unit so as to generate a plurality of images on which different image processing methods of the plurality of image processing methods have been performed in accordance with the priorities,wherein the control unit simplifies image processing by using lower-priority image processing methods of the plurality of different image processing methods.
