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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240163567 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND IMAGE CAPTURE APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an image processing apparatus that acquires image data and information about the maximum luminance value of the output dynamic range. It then processes the image data using the luminance value and a first value based on the acquired information.

  • The apparatus applies processing to the image data after converting it if the image data and the first value would have been encoded in different numerical ranges.
  • The processing involves using the luminance value and the first value to enhance the image data.

Potential Applications of this Technology

This technology could be used in various industries such as photography, medical imaging, and video processing to improve the quality of images by adjusting luminance values.

Problems Solved by this Technology

This technology addresses the issue of mismatched numerical ranges in encoding image data and information, ensuring accurate processing and enhancement of images.

Benefits of this Technology

- Improved image quality - Enhanced processing capabilities - Increased dynamic range in images

Potential Commercial Applications of this Technology

"Enhanced Image Processing Technology for Various Industries"

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to image processing techniques that involve adjusting luminance values based on dynamic range information. However, specific examples are not provided in the abstract.

Unanswered Questions

This article does not provide a direct comparison with existing image processing methods to highlight the advantages of this new technology.

What are the specific industries or applications that could benefit most from this technology?

The abstract mentions various industries, but a more detailed analysis of the specific applications within each industry would provide a clearer understanding of the potential impact of this technology.


Original Abstract Submitted

an image processing apparatus acquires image data and first information relating to a maximum luminance value of an output dynamic range of the image data. the apparatus then applies, to the image data, processing in which a luminance value of the image data and a first value based on the first information are used. in a case in which the image data is encoded in a first numerical range and the first information is encoded in a second numerical range that is different from the first numerical range, the apparatus applies the processing to the image data after converting the image data, the first information, or the first value so that the image data and the first value have values if the image data and the first value would have been encoded in a same numerical range.
