Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus comprising: a separation unit configured to separate a captured image into a plurality of regions including a first region and a second region that is shallower than the first region in terms of depth indicated by depth information of the captured image; an extension unit configured to duplicate pixels that constitute the first region and are positioned in a neighborhood of a boundary between the first region and the second region, onto the neighborhood of the boundary outside the first region, thereby generating an extended region; a blur processing unit configured to perform blur processing on the extended region and the second region based on the depth of the second region indicated by the depth information; and a composition unit configured to, after the blur processing, composite a value of each of pixels constituting the extended region and a value of one of pixels constituting the second region that correspond in position with each other.
