Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Provided is an image processing apparatus including: a prediction portion to perform an inter-magnification-ratio blur-compensation prediction with respect to a reduced-size reference focus face image, to thereby generate an inter-magnification-ratio blur-compensation predicted image at each of a plurality of focus positions, the reduced-size reference focus face image being obtained by reducing a size of a reference focus face image to be a reference of a plurality of focus face images obtained by imaging a subject at the plurality of focus positions; a differential data generation portion to generate, for each of the plurality of focus positions, differential data between the focus face image and the inter-magnification-ratio blur-compensation predicted image generated by the prediction portion; and an encoding portion to encode the reduced-size reference focus face image and the differential data generated by the differential data generation portion.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An image processing apparatus, comprising: at least one processor configured to: perform an inter-magnification-ratio blur-compensation prediction with respect to a reduced-size reference focus face image, to thereby generate an inter-magnification-ratio blur-compensation predicted image at each of a plurality of focus positions, the reduced-size reference focus face image being obtained by reducing a size of a reference focus face image to be a reference o…
