Image processing apparatus, image processing method and computer readable information recording medium
First Claim
1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a photographing part configured to photograph a photographing object;
an obtaining part configured to obtain a plurality of images including the photographing object photographed by the photographing part;
a determination part configured to determine whether a certain number of images included in each of a plurality of combinations of images are suitable for being superposed;
a selection part configured to select one combination from the plurality of combinations of images determined to be suitable for being superposed; and
a synthesis part configured to synthesize the certain number of images included in the one combination selected by the selection part,wherein the determination part is configured to determine whether the certain number of images are suitable for being superposed by obtaining a level difference at each position of pixels included in the plurality of combinations of images and comparing the level difference with a threshold, andwherein the threshold is changed according to an edge intensity between adjacent pixels of the pixels included in the plurality of combinations of images.

11. An image processing method in an image processing apparatus comprising:
-
obtaining a plurality of images including a photographing object photographed by a photographing part; determining whether a certain number of images included in each of a plurality of combinations of images are suitable for being superposed; selecting one combination from the plurality of combinations of images determined to be suitable for being superposed; and synthesizing the certain number of images included in the one combination selected by the selecting, wherein the determining determines whether the certain number of images are suitable for being superposed by obtaining a level difference at each position of pixels included in the plurality of combinations of images and comparing the level difference with a threshold, and wherein the threshold is changed according to an edge intensity between adjacent pixels of the pixels included in the plurality of combinations of images. - View Dependent Claims (14)

12. A computer readable information non-transitory recording medium tangibly embodying an image processing program which, when executed by a computer processor, performs an image processing method used by an image processing apparatus, the method comprising:
-
obtaining a plurality of images including a photographing object photographed by a photographing part; determining whether a certain number of images included in each of a plurality of combinations of images are suitable for being superposed; selecting one combination from the plurality of combinations of images determined to be suitable for being superposed; and synthesizing the certain number of images included in the one combination selected by the selecting, wherein the determining determines whether the certain number of images are suitable for being superposed by obtaining a level difference at each position of pixels included in the plurality of combinations of images and comparing the level difference with a threshold, and wherein the threshold is changed according to an edge intensity between adjacent pixels of the pixels included in the plurality of combinations of images. - View Dependent Claims (15)
