IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM BACKGROUND - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18334274 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM BACKGROUND

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an apparatus that performs composition and correction on a plurality of images with different in-focus positions. The corrected images are then displayed on a display unit.

  • The apparatus performs composition on multiple images with different in-focus positions.
  • The correction unit corrects the viewing angles of the images.
  • The corrected images are displayed on a display unit.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various fields such as:

  • Photography: Allows for the creation of composite images with different focus points.
  • Medical Imaging: Enables the combination of multiple images with different focus depths for enhanced diagnostics.
  • Virtual Reality: Provides corrected and composed images for an immersive viewing experience.

Problems Solved

This technology addresses the following problems:

  • Inconsistent focus: Allows for the combination of images with different focus positions to create a single, well-focused image.
  • Incorrect viewing angles: Corrects the viewing angles of the images to ensure accurate and visually pleasing compositions.
  • Time-consuming manual correction: Automates the correction process, saving time and effort.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Improved image quality: Creates well-composed and accurately corrected images for better visual representation.
  • Time and cost savings: Automates the correction process, reducing the need for manual editing and saving resources.
  • Enhanced user experience: Provides corrected and composed images for a more immersive and visually appealing viewing experience.


Original Abstract Submitted

An apparatus includes a composition unit configured to perform composition on a plurality of images having different in-focus positions, a correction unit configured to perform correction on viewing angles of the plurality of images, and a display unit to configured to display the images of which the viewing angles have been corrected in a case where the correction unit performs the correction.
