Patent number: 8830350Abstract: An apparatus and a method for efficiently executing correction of false color, such as purple fringe, caused by chromatic aberration and for generating and outputting high-quality image data are provided. A white-saturated pixel is detected from image data, a false-color-pixel detection area is set around the detected white-saturated pixel, and pixels having color corresponding to false color such as purple fringe are detected from the set area. The detected pixels are determined as false-color pixels and correction processing based on the values of the surrounding pixels is performed on the determined false-color pixels. With this configuration, an area of false color such as purple fringe generated in the neighborhood of a white-saturated pixel can be efficiently detected, pixel values can be partially corrected, and high-quality image data can be generated and output without affecting the entire image.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2011Date of Patent: September 9, 2014Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Rui Yamada, Mitsuharu Ohki

Patent number: 7903896Abstract: To efficiently execute correction of pixel values of a motion-presence area of captured image data. In correction processing for pixel values of a particular area such as a motion-presence area, initial values of the differences or ratios between white balance adjusted image data and flash image data are set, and conversion of the initial values is performed in accordance with a smoothing filter or a conversion expression whose weight is set on the basis of flash image data, and estimated values of image differences or image ratios in the motion-presence area are calculated to apply the estimated values to execute pixel value correction of the motion-presence area. In addition, after white balance adjustment using a low resolution image and pixel value correction of the motion-presence section, a high resolution corrected image is generated on the basis of the correspondence of a corrected image to low resolution image data.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2004Date of Patent: March 8, 2011Assignee: Sony CorporationInventor: Rui Yamada
