Definitions
- the present invention relates to an image processing apparatus and an image processing program for processing an input image, and particularly to a technique for enhancing the sharpness and contrast of an image.
- the degree of enhancement of the high-frequency enhancement processing is set according to the magnitude of the value by using pixel variation (scattering) in the region of interest as an index value.
- pixel variation scattering
- the variation in pixels increases as the pixel value increases, and conversely, as the pixel value decreases, the variation absolute value decreases.
- the variation index value tends to be large when the luminance value of the monitor is large, and conversely tends to be small when the luminance value is small.
- Patent Document 1 Japanese Patent No. 5579639
- the correspondence between the representative luminance value and the enhancement coefficient must be held in advance for the number of parts and conditions, and advance preparation and setting before imaging are required.
- the luminance value may vary depending on the imaging environment and imaging conditions, so it is difficult to stably estimate the site from the luminance value. Therefore, the set value is not always set to a value suitable for the subject, and there is a problem that processing accuracy is not stable.
- the present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and provides an image processing apparatus and an image processing program capable of stably performing highly accurate processing even when a shooting environment or shooting conditions change.
- the purpose is to do.
- the present invention has the following configuration. That is, the image processing apparatus according to the present invention is an image processing apparatus that processes an input image, and calculates an index value indicating the degree of dispersion of luminance values from the luminance distribution near the pixels in each pixel of the input image.
- An index value calculating means a pixel detecting means for detecting, as a detection pixel, a pixel having a relative peak value in a neighboring region and having an index value exceeding a predetermined range in the index value in each of the pixels; Based on a pixel area composed of detection pixels, an area dividing unit that classifies pixels in the input image and divides the pixel into a plurality of areas, and changes filter characteristics or filter strength for each divided area. And a process switching means for performing different processes.
- an index value indicating the degree of dispersion of the brightness value is calculated from the brightness distribution in the vicinity of the pixel, and is divided according to the degree of dispersion of the index value itself. Since the degree of image enhancement (filter characteristics or filter strength) is set for each divided region, adjustment according to the magnitude of the luminance value is not required, and enhancement processing is performed with high accuracy from the low luminance portion to the high luminance portion. be able to. In addition, since there is no setting depending on the magnitude of the luminance value, fine setting and adjustment before shooting are unnecessary, and even when the shooting environment and shooting conditions change, highly accurate processing can be performed stably. In addition, since pixel detection and area division are performed based on the relative peak value in the vicinity area, there is no erroneous detection or malfunction due to noise or the like.
- the filter strength is set to be weaker as the distance between the detection pixel and the target pixel becomes longer, and to perform processing with the set filter on the target pixel.
- the filter strength is set to be the strongest, and the target pixel (that is, the detection pixel) is processed with the set filter. Then, as the distance between the detection pixel and the target pixel becomes longer, the strength of the filter is set to be weaker, and the processing with the set filter is performed on the target pixel.
- a pixel having a relatively large index value indicating the degree of dispersion in the vicinity region that is, a detection pixel
- processing with a strongly set filter can be performed.
- the index value of the target pixel becomes relatively smaller as the distance from the detection pixel becomes longer in the vicinity region. Therefore, in a pixel having a long distance from the detection pixel and a relatively small index value, processing with a weakly set filter can be performed.
- the region dividing means preferably divides the region into a plurality of regions according to the distance from the detection pixel. As described above, it is considered that the index value of the target pixel becomes relatively smaller as the distance from the detection pixel becomes longer in the vicinity region. Therefore, by dividing the area into multiple areas according to the distance from the detection pixel, changing the filter characteristics or filter strength for each divided area, and performing different processing for each area, the enhancement process is highly accurate. Can be done. If the area is divided into a plurality of areas, the number of area divisions is not particularly limited.
- An image processing program is an image processing program for causing a computer to execute image processing for processing an input image. For each pixel of the input image, a luminance value is calculated from a luminance distribution in the vicinity of the pixel. An index value calculation step for calculating an index value indicating the degree of dispersion of the pixel, and a pixel having a relative peak value in a neighboring region and having an index value exceeding a predetermined range is detected in the index value of each pixel.
- the image processing program of the present invention by causing the computer to execute the processes in the index value calculation process, the pixel detection process, the area division process, and the process switching process, even when the shooting environment or shooting conditions change, the accuracy of the process is improved. High processing can be performed stably.
- an index value indicating the degree of dispersion of the brightness value is calculated from the brightness distribution in the vicinity of the pixel, and is divided according to the degree of dispersion of the index value itself. Since the degree of image enhancement (filter characteristics or filter strength) is set for each divided region, highly accurate processing can be stably performed even when the shooting environment or shooting conditions change. Further, according to the image processing program of the present invention, even when the shooting environment and shooting conditions change by causing the computer to execute the processing in the index value calculation step, the pixel detection step, the region division step, and the processing switching step, Highly accurate processing can be performed stably.

検出画素に近接する画素でない場合には「領域3」の識別子を設定し、ステップT4に進む。
全ての画素に関して判定が行われたか否かを調べ、全ての画素に関して判定が行われていない場合にはステップT5に進む。全ての画素に関して判定が行われた場合にはステップT1~T7を終了する。
