Image processing apparatus and image processing method
First Claim
1. An image processing apparatus which composes a plurality of images captured while changing an exposure amount, comprising:
- a CPU implementing the functions of a displacement detection unit, a correction unit, a moving object region detection unit, a moving object region composition unit, an image composition unit and a moving object processing unit, wherein;
the displacement detection unit is configured to detect a displacement amount between the plurality of images;
the correction unit is configured to correct a displacement between the images based on the displacement amount detected by the displacement detection unit;
the moving object region detection unit is configured to detect a moving object region from the plurality of images for which the displacement has been corrected;
the moving object region composition unit is configured to compose a detection result of an underexposed image and a correctly exposed image with a detection result of the underexposed image and an overexposed image;
the image composition unit j configured to compose the plurality of images for which the displacement has been corrected to generate a composite image; and
the moving object processing unit is configured to replace a region corresponding to the moving object region of the composite image with an image obtained by performing weighted addition of the plurality of images.

Abstract
An image processing apparatus which composes a plurality of images captured while changing an exposure amount, includes a displacement detection unit which detects a displacement amount between the plurality of images, a correction unit which corrects a displacement between the images based on the displacement amount detected by the displacement detection unit, a moving object region detection unit which detects a moving object region from the plurality of images for which the displacement has been corrected, an image composition unit which composes the plurality of images for which the displacement has been corrected, and a moving object processing unit which replaces a region corresponding to the moving object region of the composite image composed by the image composition unit by an image obtained by performing weighted addition of the plurality of images.

25. an image processing apparatus which composes a plurality of images captured while changing an exposure amount, comprising:
-
a CPU implementing the functions of a displacement detection unit, a correction unit, a moving object region detection unit, an image composition unit and a moving object processing unit, wherein; the displacement detection unit is configured to detect a displacement amount between the plurality of images; the correction unit is configured to correct a displacement between the images based on the displacement amount detected by the displacement detection unit; the moving object region detection unit is configured to detect a moving object region from the plurality of images for which the displacement has been corrected, wherein the moving object region detection unit detects a first moving object region for an object by comparing an underexposed image with a correctly exposed image, and a second moving object region for the same object by comparing an underexposed image with an overexposed image; the image composition unit is configured to compose the plurality of images for which the displacement has been corrected to generate a composite image; and the moving object processing unit is configured to replace a region corresponding to the first moving object region and the second moving object region of the composite image with an image obtained by performing weighted addition of the plurality of images. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
