Abstract:
1. An information processing apparatus, comprising: an image taking means for taking images of a subject; a class-classification means for classifying a first image outputted by the image taking means into a class according to a characteristic thereof; a storage means for storing plural coefficient memories having corresponding to different image taking conditions at the time of image taking, which store noise removal prediction coefficients according to the class acquired by learning, a designation means for designating one coefficient memory from among the plural coefficient memories based on the image taking condition when the image was taken by the image taking means, and a calculation means for calculating a second image in which noise is removed from the first image by calculating using a noise removal prediction coefficient of the class of the first image, which is in the designated coefficient memory, wherein the second image includes an amount of pixels equal to an amount of pixels included in the first image.
