Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus comprising: an image sensor that captures an image; an object plane setting means for setting an object plane in said captured image based on distance information corresponding to a point designated by a user in a displayed image based on image data; an object plane changing means for changing the object plane by rotating the object plane at a rotational angle specified by the user with the point maintained in the object plane; a distance information conversion means for converting the distance information of the image data according to the changed object plane using the rotational angle; and an image processing means for performing image processing on the image data based on the converted distance information, wherein the image processing comprises: blurring the image data not on the object plane with a blur amount according to the converted distance information, and not blurring the image data on the object plane, wherein a graphical indication of the changing of the object plane is displayed on a display screen with the image data.
