Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An image processing apparatus continuously captures a plurality of unit images, extracts and sets a feature point to be compared from each unit image, detects a feature point corresponding to that of another unit image reduces an error between the unit images superposes the unit images, and calculates the feature point detection range according to a maximum number of pixels allowing shake not to be substantially perceived in the unit image. A motion detection range is set to a minimum in case of superposition of each image when hand-shake is corrected by composite synthesis, thereby reducing image processing load and increasing image processing speed.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An image processing apparatus comprising: an auto continuous-capturing unit for continuously capturing a plurality of unit images; a feature point detecting unit for extracting and setting a feature point to be compared from each unit image; an image matching unit for reducing an error between the unit images by moving and modifying the unit image based on declination of the feature points; an image synthesizing unit for outputting a synthesized image…
