Abstract:
1. A method of image processing comprising: acquiring image data captured by an image sensor; correcting, by a circuit, chroma information acquired from the image data, based on at least one of hue information and luminance information of the image data; determining, by a circuit, whether a scene of an image of the image data is a vivid color scene by using the corrected chroma information, wherein the scene of the image is determined to be a vivid color scene in a case where the corrected chroma information corresponds to a first chroma information and the scene of the image is determined not to be a vivid color scene in a case where the corrected chroma information corresponds to a second chroma information corresponding to lower chroma than the first chroma information; and correcting the image data in the case that the scene of the image is determined to be a vivid color scene.
