IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND IMAGE CAPTURING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17985196 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND IMAGE CAPTURING APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an image processing apparatus that generates image data for display based on a set display mode. It applies a tone characteristic specific to the display mode to the image data and adjusts the strength of noise reduction and sharpness processing based on the combination of the applied tone characteristic and display mode.

  • The image processing apparatus generates image data for display based on a set display mode.
  • It applies a tone characteristic specific to the display mode to the image data.
  • The apparatus adjusts the strength of noise reduction and sharpness processing based on the combination of the applied tone characteristic and display mode.

Potential Applications

  • Photography and image editing software
  • Digital cameras and smartphones with advanced image processing capabilities
  • Display devices with customizable image settings

Problems Solved

  • Inconsistent image quality when displaying images on different devices or in different modes
  • Difficulty in achieving desired image appearance due to limited control over tone characteristics
  • Challenges in balancing noise reduction and sharpness processing for optimal image quality

Benefits

  • Improved image quality and consistency across different display modes and devices
  • Enhanced control over tone characteristics to achieve desired image appearance
  • Optimal balance between noise reduction and sharpness processing for better image quality.


Original Abstract Submitted

An image processing apparatus that generates, from an image data obtained through shooting, image data for display that depends on a display mode being set is disclosed. The image processing apparatus applies, in generation of the image data for display, a tone characteristic that depends on the display mode being set, to the image data. The image processing apparatus controls strength of noise reduction processing and/or sharpness processing depending on a combination of a tone characteristic applied to the image data and a display mode being set.
