| 20110267494 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREOF, AND IMAGE-CAPTURING APPARATUS - Disclosed are an image processing apparatus which effectively corrects, by a simple method, color crosstalk that is generated in a captured image by light obliquely entering an image sensor, and a control method thereof. A white-detection area used in white balance processing for a captured image signal is set in accordance with an aperture value used in image capturing. The degree of color crosstalk depends on an aperture value used in image capturing, and the spectral sensitivity characteristic of the image sensor changes depending on the degree of color crosstalk. By setting a white-detection range to correct a change of the spectral sensitivity characteristic depending on the aperture value, color crosstalk can be simply, effectively corrected. | 11-03-2011 |

When the aperture value changes, the current white balance coefficient is corrected, calculating an estimated white balance coefficient corresponding to the changed aperture value. Re-obtainment of a white balance coefficient starts using a frame image captured at the changed aperture value. During a period required to obtain again a white balance coefficient, the estimated white balance coefficient is applied to a frame image to undergo white balance processing. | 11-10-2011 |
