| 20080304765 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREOF, AND PROGRAM - An image processing apparatus which corrects image data containing an image of a foreign substance, and outputs the corrected image data that has undergone correction as a visible image includes an image pixel count acquisition unit which acquires the number of pixels of the image, an output resolution acquisition unit which acquires information about the resolution of the image to be output to the output device, a foreign substance correction level setting unit which sets the degree of foreign substance correction on the basis of at least the number of pixels acquired by the image pixel count acquisition unit and the information about the resolution acquired by the output resolution acquisition unit, and a foreign substance correction unit which corrects the image of the foreign substance contained in the image data on the basis of the foreign substance correction level set by the foreign substance correction level setting unit. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20090303339 | IMAGE SENSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREOF, AND PROGRAM - An image sensing apparatus includes an image sensing unit having an image sensor, an optical member which is arranged in front of the image sensor, a foreign substance detection unit which detects, from a foreign substance detection image including the image of a foreign substance adhered to the surface of the optical member, a recording unit which, when shooting a moving image, records moving image data generated based on image signals successively output from the image sensing unit, and records foreign substance information and lens information in addition to the moving image data, and a lens information obtaining unit which, when the lens information is updated by operating the imaging lens by a user during moving image shooting, obtains the updated lens information. When the lens information obtaining unit obtains the updated lens information, the recording unit records the updated lens information in addition to the moving image data. | 12-10-2009 |
| 20100074554 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, AND PROGRAM - An image processing apparatus which corrects input image data based on the image data and foreign substance information containing information on the position and size of a foreign substance includes a correction unit which corrects the influence of the shadow of the foreign substance contained in the image data, based on the image data and the foreign substance information, a still image uniformity determination unit which determines the uniformity of an image in a region around the foreign substance, a moving image uniformity determination unit which determines the uniformity of the image in the region around the foreign substance based on a determination criterion different from one applied to a still image, and a control unit which inhibits correction of the image data when the still image uniformity determination unit or moving image uniformity determination unit determines that the uniformity is less than or equal to a predetermined value. | 03-25-2010 |
| 20100271492 | PRINTING SYSTEM, PRINTING APPARATUS, IMAGE SENSING APPARATUS, AND CONTROL METHOD - In a printing system in which a printer and digital camera are connected and image data transmitted by the digital camera is received and printed by the printer, the printer transmits information about image correction functions supported by the printer to the digital camera, the digital camera sets image correction parameters based on the transmitted information and stores them in a memory of the digital camera, and before printing the image data, the printer reads out the image correction parameters stored in the memory and corrects the image data to be printed, using the read-out image correction parameters. | 10-28-2010 |
