Abstract: An image processing apparatus generates a normal image, when lighting correction of an image is performed using three-dimensional shape data. Three-dimensional shape data of a predetermined object is adjusted with a subject in position, based on a feature pattern detected in image data, and lighting processing for correcting a pixel value of the image data is performed based on the adjusted three-dimensional shape data, distance information of the subject, and a position of a virtual light source. When the three-dimensional shape data is adjusted with the image data in position, a region having a large irregularity in the three-dimensional shape data is preferentially adjusted in position.

Abstract: The image processing unit selects multiple subject areas from strobe-ON image data to be corrected, and, from the selected multiple subject areas, the image processing unit acquires a feature amount such as gloss information corresponding to each subject. Subsequently, from each subject area, the image processing unit selects a part of the subject area, based on the acquired feature amount. Then, regarding the partial area of each subject area, which is selected based on the feature amount, the image processing unit estimates the auxiliary light arrival rate corresponding to each subject, based on a pixel value of the strobe-ON image data and a pixel value of strobe-OFF image data. Thereafter, based on the estimated auxiliary light arrival rate, the image processing unit corrects the brightness of each subject area of the strobe-ON image data, in order to generate corrected image data.
