Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An image processing method includes inputting input image data captured by an imaging unit, generating an input histogram of the input image data based on the input image data, and correcting the input image data based on noise characteristics data and the input histogram, wherein the noise characteristics data includes data indicating probability of a first characteristic value becoming a second characteristic value due to noise.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An image processing apparatus comprising: an input unit configured to receive input image data captured by an imaging unit; a first generation unit configured to generate an input histogram of the input image data based on the input image data; and a correction unit configured to change a characteristic value of the input image data to a statistical value of an overlapped region of (a) a distribution of the input histogram and (b) a distribution of…
