  • Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and storage medium
    Patent number: 10154237
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a transformation unit, an identification unit, a determination unit, and a processing unit. The transformation unit is configured to perform transformation processing on an input image based on a transformation parameter. The identification unit is configured to identify transformation information related to amounts of transformation respectively between a first plurality of coordinates on a transformed image generated based on the transformation processing and a second plurality of coordinates on the input image corresponding to the first plurality of coordinates. The determination unit is configured to determine a smoothing parameter related to an intensity of smoothing processing for each region of the transformed image based on the transformation information. The processing unit is configured to perform smoothing processing on an image based on the input image, based on the smoothing parameter for each region.
