IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18449072 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an image processing apparatus that analyzes a series of captured images taken at different times.

  • The apparatus includes an area setter that identifies a specific area of interest in the first image.
  • An area detector then finds corresponding areas in the other images that are relevant to the target area.
  • A focus state acquirer measures the focus states of both the target area and the corresponding areas.
  • A classification processor then categorizes the captured images into different groups based on their focus states.
  • The purpose of this innovation is to improve image processing by automatically organizing images based on their focus quality.


Original Abstract Submitted

An image processing apparatus includes an area setter configured to set a target area in a first image among a plurality of captured images acquired by imaging at different time from each other, an area detector configured to detect a corresponding area relevant to the target area in a plurality of second images among the plurality of captured images, a focus state acquirer configured to acquire focus states of the target area and the corresponding area, and a classification processor configured to perform classification processing that classifies the plurality of captured images into a plurality of groups according to the focus states.
