Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus comprising: a color balance adjustment tool including: an image signal input unit for inputting an image signal that includes: a control unit for calculating a coefficient value for changing a brightness value of the image signal based on the intensity variation correction value, a brightness value of the fluorescent light image, and a brightness value of the reflection light image; and a color balance process unit for performing color balance adjustment by changing the brightness value of the image signal using the coefficient value, wherein the control unit calculates the coefficient value using the mathematical expression: with WBKR being the coefficient value, WBAF being the brightness value of the fluorescent light image, WBR being the brightness value of the reflection light image, and WBCAF being the intensity variation correction value.
