  • Patent number: 9800774
    Abstract: A first restoration processing section 110 and a second restoration processing section 120 perform restoration processing on images (luminance data Y), which are successively captured by an image capture section, using a first filter 102, which is a restoration filter generated corresponding to a point spread function of an optical system, and a second filter 104 of which a restoration strength is weaker than that of the first filter 102. Depending on a result of determination which is input from an in-focus determination section 150 and indicates whether or not the image at the current time point is in a target in-focus state, a selection section 122 selects and outputs either luminance data YA which is processed using the first filter 102 or luminance data YB which is processed using the second filter 104.

  • Patent number: 9710895
    Abstract: Source image data is subjected to a logarithmic process (gamma correction process) (S11), and the luminance distribution of source image data is acquired (S12). Then, it is determined whether or not the luminance distribution of source image data corresponds to “a high luminance scene (highlight scene) biased toward a high luminance side” based on a characteristic of a luminance value equal to or greater than a first threshold value in the luminance distribution of source image data (S13). According to the determination result (Y/N of S13), a restoration process based on a point spread function of an optical system is controlled (S14, S15). A restoration filter which is used in the restoration process has a filter coefficient corresponding to image data before the logarithmic process.
