Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus comprising: a first evaluation value calculation unit configured to calculate a first color evaluation value for each of a plurality of areas of image data captured while a flash light is not emitted; a second evaluation value calculation unit configured to calculate a second color evaluation value for each of a plurality of areas of image data captured while the flash light is emitted; a movement determination unit configured to determine a movement of an object for each of the areas based on a difference value between the first color evaluation value and the second color evaluation value; a correction unit configured to generate first corrected image data by correcting the image data captured while a flash light is emitted with use of a first white balance correction value corresponding to a light source which is different from the flash light, and to generate second corrected image data by correcting the image data captured while a flash light is emitted with use of a second white balance correction value corresponding to the flash light; a ratio determination unit configured to determine, based on the movement determined by the movement determination unit, a ratio for combining the first corrected image data and the second corrected image data for each of the areas; and a combining unit configured to combine the first corrected image data and the second corrected image data according to the ratio determined by the ratio determination unit.
