  • Patent number: 11159725
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes: an alignment unit configured to perform alignment for a group of images including a plurality of short-time-exposure images that are captured with a first exposure time and a long-time-exposure image that is captured with a second exposure time that is longer than the first exposure time; and an output unit configured to output the long-time-exposure image in a case where the long-time-exposure image satisfies a predetermined condition and configured to output a composite image which is generated by compositing a plurality of images selected from among the plurality of short-time-exposure images, in a case where the long-time-exposure image does not satisfy the predetermined condition.

  • Patent number: 10853954
    Abstract: The image processing apparatus includes: an input unit configured to receive input of a plurality of images; an alignment unit configured to select each of the plurality of images one by one as a base image, and aligns the base image and each of comparison images; a selection unit configured to select the comparison image to be combined with the base image from among the comparison images aligned with the base image for each of the base images, calculate a common region in which images included in the combination can be commonly drawn, and select the combination in which the ratio of the common region to the base image satisfies a predetermined condition; a determination unit configured to determine the combination that maximizes the number of comparison images from the selected combination; and an output unit configured to output an image group corresponding to the determined combination.
