Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus comprising: a storage for storing a size and scene information for each of a plurality of divided areas obtained by dividing an input image; a processor for implementing an image processing unit, a determination unit and a composition unit, wherein: the image processing unit is configured to obtain a plurality of scene-based images by processing the input image based on the scene information of the plurality of divided areas; the determination unit is configured to determine composite ratios of the plurality of scene-based images by determining, for each of the plurality of divided areas, a transition pattern of a composite ratio from a first composite ratio within the divided area to a second composite ratio within an area other than the divided area based on the size of the divided area; and the composition unit is configured to composite the plurality of scene-based images, which have been obtained by the image processing unit in correspondence with the plurality of the divided areas, in accordance with the composite ratios determined by the determination unit, wherein: the determination unit determines a change area, in which a composite ratio is changed from the first composite ratio to the second composite ratio, based on the scene information of each divided area, and determines a size of the change area based on the size of the divided area.
